window has the following default behavior:
• If the source assigned to the alarm monitor is an active alarm (red), the
alarm monitor is visible. The video transparency settings configured in
XEdit for this alarm monitor apply to the part of the monitor that overlaps
the video window.
• If the source assigned to the alarm monitor is an inactive alarm (green),
the alarm monitor is not visible on the monitor wall. If the alarm monitor
partially overlaps the video window, then the part of the monitor that
does not cover the video window remains visible (green).
