Alarm tab – Define intervals
Intervals are used to specify times during which alarms shall be monitored. These time spans are listed in the
Active at field. Also the lack of an alarm can be reported. These time spans are listed in the Active and inverted
at field. Active and inverted serves to detect for example the presence of a video signal when there is no signal
expected.
The first line of the dialog is used to add a new interval. Insert the name in the New interval box and click Add.
Now the new interval name can be found in the second line in the Interval list. An interval can also be deleted
by selecting it within the Interval list and clicking Delete. To configure the time intervals select the interval’s
name from the Interval list. Now you can specify a time span in the third row. You can choose, if alarms shall be
active at this time span (click on the Add button on the right of the Active at field) or active and inverted (click
on the Add button on the right of the Active and inverted at field). Within a field multiple time spans can be
listed. To delete a time span out of a list, select the time span with the mouse and click on the Delete button on
the right of the respective field.
It is sufficient to define an interval once. It then is applicable for each source.

Tally tab
On the Tally tab the tallies can be configured. In general a tally can be a hardware input tally, a hardware output
tally or a software tally. Please refer to the H
YDRA user’s manual to see how many tallies are supported by which
card.
The dialog allows only selecting those tallies that are really available. Tallies not supported by the
input card are grayed out.
If a distinct tally is in use for module alarms, please refer to section
5.3.4 Setup module (Alarm tab),
then it can no longer be switched to hardware input, because a hardware input tally can not be
used for module alarms. Hardware input is grayed out in that case. This implies also, that a tally
that shall be used for module alarms must first be set to be a hardware output tally or a
software tally.
The following additional functionality can be assigned to a tally:
• Scramble source on tally
The video source is scrambled with a 70% level, as long as the tally is set. If scrambling is set in the video
object properties, this has the priority and Scramble source on tally can not be seen.
