Creating Actions
Key Concepts
XEdit The application used to create and modify rooms, layouts and other
components of a Kaleido-X monitoring system.
Composite monitor A group of primary monitors.
Monitor A graphical component used in the creation of a layout. Typical monitors
include UMDs, time code monitors, audio monitors, video monitors, and
clocks.
Action item Action elements that are associated with a specific action (e.g. Load
Layout, Set GPI Out, etc.).
System list Refers to the hierarchical list visible under XEdit’s System tab, which
gives a virtual representation of the system hardware (i.e. multiviewers
and peripheral devices).
Trigger Refers to the event that causes an action to be invoked. For a monitor
wall action, a trigger could be a double click on a monitor. Background
actions are triggered by alarms or by a Gateway command. When
defining an action for a monitor, you could specify, for instance, that a
specific full screen layout be displayed on the monitor wall in response
to the trigger.
On Change: background action is triggered by any change in alarms
status
On Disabled: background action is triggered when an alarm is disabled
On Normal/OK: background action is triggered when an alarm reverts to
normal
On Minor/Warning: supported for Gateway alarms only
On Major: supported for Gateway alarms only
On Critical/Error: background action is triggered by a critical alarm
Triggering of
actions
Any multiviewer alarm can be used as a trigger to invoke a background
action.
Note: A background action triggered by an alarm is always executed,
regardless of the alarm’s operational mode (see
Alarm Suppression, on
page 136).
The end event of any countdown timer can be used as a trigger to invoke
a background action.
Gateway commands sent by an external device can be used to trigger
actions created in XEdit.
Any GPI input from the multiviewer can trigger a background action.
Triggering of GPI
outputs
Any multiviewer alarm can be used to trigger a GPI output change.
Gateway Refers to the “Kaleido Remote Control Protocol (Gateway)” interface
supported by Miranda multiviewers. See the Kaleido Remote Control
Protocol (Gateway) User’s Guide for more information.
