Calling Salvos
A
salvo
is the simultaneous display of multiple camera scenes on a group of numerically
contiguous monitors. The number of allowable entries in a salvo is dependent on the particular
switching system being used. Each system salvo has a unique identification number that defines the
set of contiguous monitors. Salvos are programmed in the Menu mode or through system setup
software, but are called to workstation monitors in the Operate mode.
To call a salvo:
1. Enter the identification number of the first (lowest numbered) monitor of the contiguous
monitor group on the numeric keypad. The monitor number will appear in the ENTER
display.
2. Press the MONITOR/VCR key to gain control of the monitor. The monitor number will
appear in the MONITOR/VCR display. The ENTER display will clear.
3. Enter the salvo identification number on the numeric keypad. The salvo number will appear in
the ENTER display.
4. Press the SALVO key to call the salvo to the monitor group. The ENTER display will clear.
Auxiliary Control
An
auxiliary
is a relay that switches devices such as lights, door locks, and audible alarms. Such
auxiliary relays are said to be
momentary
or
latched
. Either type can be controlled by the AD2088
keyboard using the auxiliary ON and auxiliary OFF keys.
A momentary auxiliary remains active as long as its control key is pressed. An example of
momentary auxiliary action is a door that remains unlocked as long the auxiliary ON key is
pressed. When the key is released, the door returns to its locked state.
A latched auxiliary remains active until it is deactivated using the appropriate off switch. An
example of a latched auxiliary is a light. When the auxiliary ON key is pressed (and released), the
light is turned on. When the auxiliary OFF key is pressed (and released), the light is turned off.
Acknowledging Alarms
When a monitor is armed for an alarm contact, the video input (camera view) associated with that
alarm contact is displayed on the monitor when the alarm is activated. If the monitor is armed for
manual clearance
, any alarm displayed on the monitor can be acknowledged (cleared) by an
AD2088 operator.
To acknowledge (clear) an alarm:
1. Call the monitor that is displaying alarm video.
2. Press the ACK key.
If the monitor is sequencing multiple alarmed video inputs,
hold
or step to (using the
next
or
last
keys) the appropriate alarmed video input, and press the ACK key to clear the alarm. Continue to
step to and ACK each alarm until all appropriate alarms have been cleared.
Alarm signaling capability will vary depending on which switching system is connected to the
AD2088. Consult your switching system manual to determine the particulars of the alarm interface.
Viewing Satellite Sites
A
site
is a complete matrix switcher / controller system, providing both local and remote control of
resources in a satellite network. If your workstation supports satellite site switching capabilities,
the SITE key accesses satellite sites.
To gain access to a satellite site:
