Video loss alarm

The TVR 10 lets you define video loss alarms. A video loss alarm refers to an alarm
triggered when a video signal is lost or corrupt due to power failure, video cable
failure, bad connection, and more. The video loss alarm triggers only if the video loss
occurs during a programmed time schedule. The Video Loss screen lets you define
video loss alarms as shown in Figure 20 on page 55. The alarm displays on the status
bar of the screen.
