13.2 Monitor Title/System Status Display

The monitor title/system status display area is a 12-column display to the right of the camera number. It is unique on each of the monitors. It has different uses, some of which may be selected by the user at a keyboard location. The various uses are described below.

13.2.1 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.

13.2.2Locations 1, 2, and 3 - Alarm Indication

When the monitor overlay is in the status display mode, locations 1 through 3 indi- cate if a camera on the monitor is in the alarm mode. If the on-screen camera is cur- rently in alarm mode, an ALM message will flash in a box at this location 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, pressing [NEXT], [RUN], or [PRE- VIOUS] 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.

13.2.3 Location 4 - Monitor Arm Status Indication

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

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

13.2.4 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 appropriate armed monitors.

13.2.5 Location 6 - Error Indication

This location is used to indicate an error on the part of the user. When a user error occurs, this location will display an ERR symbol. The specific error number will appear in locations 7 and 8. The error number will also appear in the Camera Num- ber Display field on the keyboard. The display will return to normal after a few sec- onds have passed, or if the user presses [Enter] on the keyboard.
