Layouts and Layout Elements
Time code
monitor A time code monitor displays the Ancillary Time Code (ATC) from an HD video
signal, or the time code found in an embedded SDI video signal, part of the
vertical interval of an analog signal (VITC), or other external Linear Time Code
(LTC). This monitor also supports time code information from external
providers (see
Configuring logical sources based on external alarm providers
on page 199). Time code monitors can be used for monitoring the duration
of programs. See
Configuring Time Code Monitors on page 278.
Timer A timer can be slaved to a production timer, controlled from the Kaleido-
RCP2 (with start, stop and reset control via GPI inputs), and/or used for
monitoring the duration of programs.
Three timer modes are available: (1) UP: timer counts up starting from zero up
to a preset time, (2) DOWN: timer counts down from a preset time to zero,
and (3) REMAINING: timer counts down from the current time until it reaches
a preset time.
A timer monitor is based on a timer defined within the Kaleido-X system.
Timers are defined and configured in XEdit. Timer monitors can be
configured directly on the monitor wall. See
Configuring Timers on page 280.
Audio monitor An audio monitor (also called audio level meter or ALM) is a graphical layout
element that provides a visual representation of sound. See
Configuring
Audio Monitors , on page 271, and Configuring Audio Scales , on page 275.
Loudness
monitor A loudness monitor is a graphical layout element that provides a visual
representation of the perceived loudness of an audio program. It provides
two measures (short-term, and momentary loudness) per audio program.
See
Configuring Loudness Monitors on page 273.
UMD An under monitor display (UMD) has a text label that can be static or
dynamically updated by a peripheral device. It can also have left and right
tally indicators. The UMD typically indicates the name of the video source
seen in a video monitor. See
Configuring UMDs on page 286.
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 is shown. When using the global
alarm at the text label level, the alarm monitor displays the text value of the
alarm, which is a readable name. See
Configuring Alarm Monitors , on
page 293 and Alarm latch , on page 31 for more information.
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 Configuring Subtitling Monitors on page 296.
Note: With the current version of the Kaleido-X software, the subtitling
monitor supports DVB and SCTE 27 subtitles, from Kaleido-IP sources only.
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). See Configuring Metadata Monitors on page 301.
