Subtitling
monitor A subtitling monitor defines an area for displaying subtitles extracted from a
video signal. By using a subtitling monitor you can monitor subtitling from a
specific DVB or SCTE 27 stream, independently from the associated video
stream. Requires the CC/XDS option (see
Hardware and Software Options on
page 463). See Setting the DVB Subtitling Language from the Monitor Wall ,
on page 48, and Setting the SCTE 27 Subtitling Language from the Monitor
Wall , on page 48.
Note: With the current version of the Kaleido-X software, the subtitling
monitor supports DVB subtitles and SCTE 27 subtitles, from Kaleido-IP
sources only.
V-chip monitor The V-chip monitor provides a visual indication of the V-chip rating from the
CC (608) metadata in an SD video signal, or from the CC (608) legacy caption
data, when such data is present within an HD video signal. Requires the
CC/XDS option (see
Hardware and Software Options on page 463).
Metadata
monitor A metadata monitor defines an area for displaying XDS, or digital content
advisory descriptor (CAD) information based on CEA-766-D, extracted from a
video signal. Requires the CC/XDS option (see
Hardware and Software
Options on page 463).
Action An action is an operation automatically performed in response to a specific
trigger. Monitor wall actions are directly associated with layout elements.
Background (floating) actions are actions that are global to the Kaleido-X
system. Unlike monitor wall actions, background actions are always available.
See
Triggering Actions on page 60.
Trigger A trigger is an event that triggers an action. An example of a trigger could be
a double click on a monitor. Background actions are triggered by alarms or
by Gateway commands. In XEdit, when defining an action for a layout
element, you could specify, for instance, that a specific full screen layout be
displayed on the monitor wall in response to the trigger.
Alarm monitor Alarm monitors help you see the status of global and virtual alarms, but their
use is not limited to this type of alarms. When any alarm level is assigned to
an alarm monitor, the status of this alarm will be shown. When using the
global alarm at the text label level, it will display the text value of the alarm,
which is a readable name.
Alarm latch To prevent operators from missing temporary alarms on the monitor wall,
layout elements that are capable of displaying an alarm status (e.g., video
monitors, subtitling monitors, UMDs, alarm monitors) can be configured with
a latching mechanism. An alarm latch will keep the error state visible until
someone acknowledges the associated alarm. See
Acknowledging Alarms
on page 61.
When you acknowledge an alarm, latched or current, the latched status is
reset to normal (i.e., unlatched). If the alarm is acknowledged while its status
indicates an error condition, the latched status is reset to normal, and will
only go back to error if the alarm status returns to normal and then to error
again.
