The feature means that the device can sense changes on its ports and is able to
react according to the pre-defined settings. The development idea of the Event
manager is based on users' feedbacks. In many cases internal events (E.g. Signal
present or HDCP active) are necessary for displaying but it is not easy when the
device is hard to access (e.g. built under the desk). For more details and examples about Event Manager,
please visit our website (www.lightware.com) and download the
Downloads section.
Event manager can be configured to perform an action if a condition has been detected. E.g. the desired
setup is that after a certain type of signal has been detected on I1 port, the port has to be switched to O1.
The settings can be done via the LDC in the Control/Events tab, or by LW3 protocol commands. The number
of configurable events depends on the device that you are currently using.
Numerous new ideas and requests have been received in connection with the features and settings of the
Event manager since the first release. Therefore, the user interface has been re-designed and many new
functions have been implemented. The Event editor can be opened by pressing the Edit button at each Event.
There is a grey bar on the left of the Event panel in each line. If a condition and an action are set and the Event
is enabled, the bar is displayed in green.
