Status area
The status area provides visual indications of the connection
status. These indications are similar to the front panel
indications described in chapter 2, "Installation and Operation".
• RGB present indicator — This indicator is green when
the DA detects a sync signal on its video input:
• Horizontal sync (H) (for RGBHV video)
• Composite sync (S) (for RGBS video)
• Green (Sync on green) (G) (for RGsB or RsGsBs
video)
• Audio present indicator — This indicator is green when
the DA detects a low level audio signal for a short period
of time. This indicator goes dark if the audio signal drops
below the minimum threshold for a short period of time.
Link 1 indicator — This indicator is green when the receiver
detects light on the fiber optic cable Optical 1.
N The master receiver detects the Optical 1 light. It reports
the status to the DA via the optional Optical 2 cable
connected to output 1.
If your computer is connected to either of the DA's serial
ports, and the Optical 2 cable is not connected in your
system, the control program's Link 1 indicator does not
show green (detected), whether the receiver detects the link
or not.
Link 2 indicator — This indicator is green when the DA
detects light on the fiber optic cable Optical 2.
The Status area also shows to which unit the controlling PC is
connected, the FOX 500 model (multimode or singlemode), and
the video input frequency.
Memory Preset area
The Memory Preset area provides a means to save and recall
memory presets. Memory presets are saved values of the
horizontal and vertical position and sizing information. See the
FOX 500 User's Manual , for more information on presets.
Mute area
Click the Video Mute and/or Audio Mute radio buttons in the
Mute area to turn the video and/or audio mutes on and off.
N When the video output is muted, the receivers mute the
red, green, and blue planes, but leave the horizontal and
vertical or composite sync plane(s) live so that there is no
loss of sync in the display device.
N When you mute or unmute the output, the setting is
changed in the receivers. The master receiver reports
the changes via the optional Optical 2 cable connected
betweeen the DA and the master receiver.
If your computer is connected to either of the DA's serial
ports, and the Optical 2 cable is not connected between the
master receiver and the DA in your system, you can still
mute the outputs in the control program's Mute area, but
the program cannot report the position values. The Set
video (or audio) mute On or Off message is displayed for
approximately 1 second (figure 3-5).
