Status Fields
Reference Signal Type
The Reference Signal Type automatically detects if a video reference is being looped through the router. It will
show the signal type if there is a reference present, either PAL or NTSC, or, if no reference is detected, it will
display Local.
The Local signal is the internal random switching pulse that is generated by the router to ensure successful switch
timing. For more information on video referencing, please refer to “Video Referencing” on page 5–15.
Alarms
The Alarms status section of the Device Properties page is divided into three headings: Reference, Matrix Power
and RCP Power. The NK-64 routers also have an additional alarm warning for I/O Power.
There are four degrees of alarm urgency: Green (Normal operation), Yellow (Warning), Orange (Error) and Red
(Critical Error). The possible Reference, Matrix Power, and RCP Power statuses are displayed in Table 4.4.
Reference
The Reference status alarm indicates if there if a video reference connected to the router. It will also display the
format of the reference, either PAL or NTSC. If a video reference is connected, the router will attempt to perform all
switches during the vertical interval of the reference. If there is no reference connected, the router will still function,
