DYNAMIC MONITOR LOCKOUT (ADMINISTRATOR)

(Factory default: “DISABLED”)

Selecting the ADMINISTRATOR box for a specific zone will allow Monitor Lockout mode to be administered ‘on the fly’. There may be times when a source is generating program material that can be made available to all zones/users. At other times this same source may be putting out material that is not suitable for some zone/users. When the “ADMINISTRATOR” box is checked for a given zone, a special keypad command can block the audio and video for a given source from being monitored by ALL other Zones. That source remains under ‘monitor control’ of the Administrator Zone, until that Zone unlocks the Source.

1.Select “PRIORITY LOCKOUT MODE” The Monitor Lockout boxes will be activated.

2.Click the “ADMINISTRATOR” box for any zone that is to have ‘Dynamic Monitor Lockout’ ability.

3.After the project has been transferred to the MRC88 Controller, on a keypad in a zone with ‘Administrator’ control, simultaneously press the ”STATUS” and “SOURCE” buttons for the device to be ‘locked out’. If any zone has that same source selected, the audio will mute and the video will go blank.

A message: “Monitor Locked” will appear on the keypad(s) LCD window in those zones.

NOTE: In order to ‘Monitor Lock’ a source, the Administrator Zone must not be “priority locked” out of the desired source.

4.To unlock, from the same zone with ‘Administrator’ control, simultaneously press ”STATUS” and “SOURCE” again. If any zone has that same source selected, the message “Monitor Unlocked” will appear, however, video and audio will not be routed to that zone until a source select button is pressed. A message: “Monitor Unlocked” will appear on the keypad(s) in those zones. The ‘Administrator’ zone will retain priority until that zone selects another source or turns OFF.
