1 System Overview This manual describes the function of the PM-2E/PM-4. This unit monitors the embedded audio encoded within a SDI data stream. It also flags suitable alarms and displays the information onto a screen overlaid onto a video screen. Section 1 The PM-2E/PM-4 Product The PM-2E is a unit that will monitor the audio embedded in a SDI data stream and the PM-4 monitors the AES.
Figure 1 PM-2E/PM-4 Module. Section 2 Applications for the PM-2E/PM-4 Applications for the PM-2E/PM-4 include the following:- Automatic monitoring of a SDI channel and flagging suitable alarms to alert the operator in user defined situations. Figure 2 A typical PM-2E/PM-4 displays. Section 3 Associated Equipment for the PM-2E/PM-4 Hardware Requirements The PM-2E/PM-4 is a module and requires both a chassis and a control surface to function.
monitoring, and a master display in a 1RU Chassis then the recommended requirements would be: 4 off PM-2E/PM-4 Modules 1 off MD-2 Modules 1 off FB-9 Flexi-box 1 off FP-9 Flexipanel Software Requirements There are no special software requirements. The system is controlled via the front panel, however, it may be alternatively controlled by the Eyeheight front panel emulator, Softpanel which runs on a PC.

3 Operation Section 1 Control of the PM-2E/PM-4 Control of the PM-2E/PM-4 is generally done using an FP-9 Flexi panel. It is also possible to control this unit with an FP-10 Panel (Desktop Panel) or if the unit is mounted in a Mini-Box limited control will be available with the mini-box Preset select buttons which will have been pre-set at the factory. The unit can also be controlled remotely using a PC running the Softpanel software.
