Sw_TRS_2 Sw_TRS_2 determines when the criteria of the TRS are no longer fulfilled; it will immediately switch from Main to Backup. Please note that this only works when the setting Switch back is set to ON.

Page 17: Status Menu
6 Status Menu Introduction The status menu indicates the current status of each item listed below. SDI-In_1 SDI-In_1 indicates the status of the digital signal present at input 1 of the PBS03. SDI-In_1 indicates the condition of the SDI signal as follows; OK: The signal at Input 1 of the PBS03 does not have errors. - Page 18 Freeze_1 Freeze_1 indicates if SDI_2 contains frozen frames. This is represented by Ok or Error. Event_1 Event_1 indicates if errors occurred when the switch was used on the basis of an event. This is represented by Ok or Error. Gpi_in_1 GPI_in_1 indicates if errors occurred when the switch was used with a GPI contact.
- Page 19 AUDIO-Ch1_1 Audio-Ch1_1 indicates the status of Channel 1 of SDI INPUT 1 with embedded audio. OK indicates that the audio is present. NA indicates that the audio is not available. AUDIO-Ch1_2 Audio-Ch1_2 indicates the status of Channel 2 of SDI INPUT 1 with embedded audio OK indicates that the audio is present.
- Page 20 Anc-Det_2 ANC-DET indicates that embedded audio is present and valid. ANC-DET if an input signal is OK, NA (not available), or ERROR EDH-Stat_1 EDH-Stat indicates the status of the EDH within the incoming SDI signal. OK indicates that the detected EDH does not show errors.
