Installation and Operating Manual
The Alarms sub-menu is only available on the DVS24A and DVS28A switchers. This sub-
menu is used to specify various options and settings concerning any alarm inputs that are
connected to the switcher.
MODE
This item is used to specify the mode in which the alarm inputs will work. The options
available are:
Trans (Transparent)
The switcher will return to cleared status automatically when the alarm input is no longer
current. When using this option, there is no need for an alarm input to be acknowledged
and cleared by an operator.
Ack (Acknowledge)
An alarm input must be cleared by pressing the button that corresponds to the alarm input
that has been triggered. When the button is pressed, the cleared status will then be
recognised by the switcher. (The cleared status of the main monitor can be specified using
the Cleared item on page 18).
MULTIPLE
This item is used to specify what is shown on the main monitor when more than one alarm
is triggered. The options available are:
Hold
The main monitor will display images from the last alarmed camera input to be triggered.
Seq (Sequenced)
Images from each alarmed camera input will be shown in a sequence with a two second
dwell time.
