Configuring UMDs
UMDs can serve various purposes: in addition to displaying the name of the video source
seen in a video monitor, they can report operational status and error conditions in real time,
by showing dynamic alarm and text attributes associated with a source.
Configuring a UMD’s Alarm Reporting Behavior
To prevent users from missing temporary alarms on the monitor wall, monitors that are
capable of displaying an alarm status (e.g. video monitors,
subtitling monitors, UMDs, alarm
monitors) can be configured with a latching mechanism. An alarm latch will keep the error
state visible until someone acknowledges the associated alarm. For UMDs, the latch color
can be set to follow the background or the text color configuration.
