you can change its Clear duration parameter. The default debouncing parameters are as
follows:
See Configuring Alarm Debouncing on page 144, for more information.
Alarm Suppression
Alarms that are not relevant—momentarily or on a recurrent basis—can be squelched,
either manually or by defining schedules, so that only meaningful alarm information
remains to be monitored. A schedule can put an alarm in either of the following operational
modes: offline, in maintenance, or inverted.
Global Alarms
A logical source comprises different level categories, including alarms. Each logical source
can include multiple alarm levels: one for each alarm state that can be reported to the
Kaleido-X system. In many cases, a single, combined status, based on all the alarms in every
alarm level for a logical source, is more useful than having to individually assess each and
Attribute Default value Range Description
Set duration 15 seconds 0 s – 300 s This is the time interval to wait before triggering
an alarm once a probe has been in a continuous
error state.
Clear duration 0 seconds 0 s – 90 s Once a probe has returned to a normal state (the
alarm condition is no longer detected), this is the
time interval to wait before resetting the alarm.
Notes
• The Kaleido-IP multiviewer does not yet support alarm-debouncing
calibrations. The default debouncing parameters apply to most alarms.
• As of version 6.60 of the Kaleido-X, the former Occurrences and Detection
window debouncing parameters have been removed. You may need to
revise your system’s alarm debouncing calibrations when you upgrade to
version 6.60 (or later) from version 6.50 (or earlier). Refer to the upgrade
instructions in the Kaleido-X Release Notes, for details.
• In the case of the video freeze alarm, the default debouncing settings are
appropriate for most purposes, when the intention is to detect a freeze.
Note, however, that it may take up to one second more than the value of
the Set duration parameter to trigger a video freeze alarm. On the other
hand, if your situation requires detecting movement (e.g, to detect that
nothing is put on air during an off-air period) then you may need to set an
appropriate reset delay for this alarm (e.g. 5
seconds) by using the Clear
Duration parameter.
Note: A background action triggered by an alarm is executed, regardless of
the alarm’s operational mode (see
Creating Background Actions, on
page 270).
