Catsii Functionality
Catsii LED's are a unique feature to the Sirius 800 router range and allow easy identification
of the status of an input or output. They can be lit in different color states depending on the
signal type, and can be used in a “Cross Hair” formation to highlight and pinpoint a specific
input or output. Catsii LEDs are fitted to the Video and MADI rear panels for the main inputs
and outputs. The expansion output rear panels are not fitted with Catsii LEDs.
The Catsii LEDs have two functions:
•
To indicate signal status
•
To identify a specific BNC, HD BNC or Fiber connector
The Catsii LED's switch between these two functions, so they never operate at the same time.
If any port identification is active, the port identification function is operational. If all the port
identifications are inactive, the signal status function is operational.
