Chapter 4 - Using eyeMonitor

eyeMonitor displays multiple headends and the schedule and

verification content of those headends for a 24 hour period (CCMS
Schedule Period).

Monitoring Headends & Spots

The headend grids within the Monitor display the breaks for each

headend for the date designated in the Date to Analyze field at the
bottom of the monitor screen. When eyeMonitor was configured, the
background colors for each of these breaks was set based upon their
current condition. In addition to this stand-out feature, a countdown
timer to the next missing spot is displayed in the headend header bar.
Among these alarms, the most time-crucial alarm is then placed in the
quick buttons section of the monitor.

A missing media countdown timer for all headends is displayed in

the quick buttons section and can be clicked on for more details.
