APPENDIX F: Configuring Video Loss Detection

The following procedure describes how to configure the MegaPower CPU for video loss detection using

EASY CPU.

Caution: As you progress through this configuration, ensure that the video loss contact assignments do not conflict with or duplicate the actual physical contacts.

1.With EASY CPU started, go to the Definitions – Cameras screen to define your cameras.

2.In the upper screen section, click on the Video Loss Detection field in the row for the camera you want to define, and then click on the scroll arrow to display the dropdown menu.

3.Choose one of the following from the dropdown menu:

•Off – Video loss detection not enabled

•Sync – To detect the presence or loss of the synchronized portion of the video signal

•Low – To detect low picture content

•Medium – To detect medium picture content

•High – To detect high picture content

Note: The video signal is not measured as a signal peak-to-peak value. The Low, Medium, and High selections indicate the degree of video complexity being detected.

4.Go to the Alarms – Monitors screen and define your monitors.

5.Go to the Alarms – Alarm Messages screen and create your alarm messages. You can create up to 128 messages. Refer to Alarm Messages on page 42 for more information.
