Subtitling
monitor
A subtitling monitor defines an area for displaying subtitles extracted from a
video signal. By using a subtitling monitor you can monitor subtitling from a
specific DVB stream, independently from the associated video stream.
Requires the CC/XDS option (see
Hardware and Software Options, on
page 383). See Setting the DVB Subtitling Language from the Monitor Wall
on page 42.
Note: With the current version of the Kaleido-X software, the subtitling
monitor only supports DVB subtitles from Kaleido-IP sources.
V-chip monitor The V-chip monitor provides a visual indication of the V-chip rating from the
CC (608) metadata in an SD video signal, or from the CC (608) legacy caption
data, when such data is present within an HD video signal. Requires the
CC/XDS option (see
Hardware and Software Options, on page 383).
Metadata
monitor
A metadata monitor defines an area for displaying XDS data and digital
content advisory descriptors extracted from a video signal. Requires the
CC/XDS option (see
Hardware and Software Options, on page 383).
Action An action is an operation automatically performed in response to a specific
trigger. Monitor wall actions are directly associated with layout elements.
Background (floating) actions are actions that are global to the Kaleido-X
system. Unlike monitor wall actions, background actions are always available.
See Triggering Actions on page 54.
Trigger A trigger is an event that triggers an action. An example of a trigger could be
a double click on a monitor. Background actions are triggered by alarms or
by Gateway commands. In XEdit, when defining an action for a layout
element, you could specify, for instance, that a specific full screen layout be
displayed on the monitor wall in response to the trigger.
Alarm monitor Alarm monitors help you see the status of global and virtual alarms, but their
use is not limited to this type of alarms. When any alarm level is assigned to
an alarm monitor, the status of this alarm will be shown. When using the
global alarm at the text label level, it will display the text value of the alarm,
which is a readable name.
Alarm latch To prevent operators from missing temporary alarms on the monitor wall,
layout elements 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.
See Acknowledging Alarms on
page 55.
When you acknowledge an alarm, latched or current, the latched status is
reset to normal (i.e. unlatched). If the alarm is acknowledged while its status
indicates an error condition, the latched status is reset to normal, and will
only go back to error if the alarm status returns to normal and then to error
again.
Note: If you have an iControl application server, you may use its GSM alarm
browser to configure an acknowledgement snooze duration, which defines the
period during which alarm status changes detected by your multiviewer are
ignored, immediately after an alarm is acknowledged. Such a snooze period is
typically not desirable in the context of multiviewer alarms. Therefore, a
multiviewer’s GSM has its acknowledgement snooze duration set to 0
ms, by
default.
