System Status Display

If this display is selected (factory default), it allows the Allegiant system to dynami- cally inform the user of the system status. The 12-column display is divided into smaller message columns (see figure below), in which special characters inform the user of the following:

if the switcher is running or stopped

the switcher’s direction

if a monitor or remote camera is locked

the alarm status of the camera and monitor

Format of Monitor Overlay's System Status Display

Locations 1, 2, and 3 - Alarm Indication

When the monitor overlay is in the status display mode, locations 1 through 3 indicate if a camera on the monitor is in the alarm mode. If the on-screen cam- era is currently in alarm mode, an ALM message will flash in a box at this loca- tion mode. If no cameras are currently in alarm mode on this monitor, these spaces are blank. Note that when a monitor has cameras in alarm mode, press- ing [NEXT], [RUN], or [PREVIOUS] on the keyboard will move you through the alarm sequencer rather than the regular camera sequencer. The alarm switcher status will be displayed in location 6 using described symbols.

Location 4 - Monitor Arm Status Indication

In the MONITOR ARMED location, the characters SM or DM will appear if the monitor is armed for alarm. SM means that the monitor is a “step” or “sequence” monitor, and will automatically step through multiple alarm videos. DM indicates that the monitor is a “display” or “review” monitor, which will collect alarm vid- eos from one or more step monitors.

When an alarm occurs, the alarmed camera's video will replace the current dis- play of the monitor. If the monitor is not armed, this location will be blank.

Location 5 - Camera Arm Status Indication

In the CAMERA ARMED location characters CA are displayed if the camera being viewed is armed for alarm on that monitor. If the alarm signal associated with this camera becomes active, the camera will be displayed on the appropri- ate armed monitors.
