Event Manager
The feature allows the device to sense changes on its ports and to react according to
pre-defined settings. The idea to develop a feature like the Event Manager is based on
the feedbacks from the users. In many cases internal events (such as signal present
or HDCP active) shall be displayed but it is not easy when the device is hard to access
(e.g. built under the desk).
The Event manager can be configured to perform an action if a condition is detected. E.g. the desired setup
is that after a certain type of signal has been detected on I1 port, the port has to be switched to O1. The
settings can be done via the LDC in the Control/Events tab, or by LW3 protocol commands. The number of
the configurable events depend on the device what you are using actually.
Numerous new ideas and requests have been received in connection with the features and settings of the
Event manager since its first release. Therefore, the user interface has been re-designed and many new
functions have been implemented. The Event editor can be opened by pressing the
Edit
button at each Event.
There is a
grey bar
on the left of the Event panel in each line. If a condition and an action are set and the Event
is enabled, the bar is displayed
in green
.
