Section 5 ♦ Alarm Descriptions Setting Alarms Most alarms monitor all lines of the video signal. The VITS alarm is an exception. The VITS alarm is used to monitor activity or the lack of activity on a particular line. The GAMUT alarm is more typical. The GAMUT alarm will monitor the entire active picture for errors over the selected limits chosen on the menu.
Alarm Descriptions Alarm Message Contents and Limitations Figure 5-1. Sample Alarm Message (VTM Classic Mode Display) Table 5-1.
Alarm Descriptions Digital Gamut RGB Upper/Lower The RGB Upper and Lower alarm occurs when any component of the transcoded RGB signal falls outside the upper or lower limits for a period in excess of the duration setting. The Sensitivity can be increased to provide immunity to fast transcoding spikes. Lum Upper/Lower The Luma Upper and Lower alarms scan the composite encoded signal derived from the selected digital input.
Alarm Descriptions The following information is displayed when the CRC display is ON and an HD format is detected: DISPLAY Time since Reset CRC DESCRIPTION 00:00:00 Error Free Hr:min:sec, elapsed time since last reset value Length of time in seconds CRC is error free CHROMA - Embedded Audio value Detects how many groups of audio are available Ancillary Data Present Detects other ancillary Chroma information LUMA Ancillary Data Present Format Errors Y * Detects ancillary Luma information
Alarm Descriptions Table 5-2. CRC Alarm Error Types (continued) Error Type Description RESERVED VALUES USED IMPROPERLY The Reserved Values Used Improperly alarm occurs when the eight most significant bits (SD) or all ten bits (HD) are all “1” or “0” in any place other than an EAV, SAV, or ancillary header. ANCILLARY DATA CHECKSUM ERROR The Ancillary Data Checksum Error occurs when the internal calculated CRC value is different from the received CRC value.
Alarm Descriptions Picture Shift The Picture Shift alarm activates when the luma portion of the video does not exceed the amplitude threshold along any of the four borders of active video. The “Left/Right” and “Top/Bottom” border settings define the tolerance of the Picture Shift alarm. If one or more pixels are above the threshold for each of the four tolerance borders, no alarm will be declared. For interlaced video formats Picture Shift checks the first field only. For example, if a signal is 525/59.
Alarm Descriptions Subtitle Not Updating The Subtitle Not Updating alarm occurs when Subtitles carrier is present and the subtitles are the same for a period in excess of the duration setting. WSS (Widescreen Signaling) Not Detected The Widescreen Signaling Not Detected alarm occurs when the presence of Widescreen Signaling for Widescreen Format is not detected for a period in excess of the duration setting.
Alarm Descriptions Analog Gamut Peak Upper The Peak Upper alarm occurs when active video falls outside the upper limit for a period in excess of the duration setting. Peak video includes luminance and chrominance. Peak Lower The Peak Lower alarm occurs when active video falls outside the lower limit for a period in excess of the duration setting. Peak video includes luminance and chrominance.
Alarm Descriptions For example, assume that the Vertical Interval Test Signal of color bars on line 17, field 2 is selected. Also, assume the line position is set to monitor the blue color packet with a range of 5° and duration of 0 seconds. If the phase error between burst and the blue vector point exceeds ± 5°, an alarm occurs.
Alarm Descriptions Teletext Not Detected – Analog The Teletext Not Detected - Analog alarm occurs when the presence of Teletext is not detected for a period in excess of the duration setting. Teletext Not Updating – Analog The Teletext Not Updating - Analog alarm occurs when Teletext carrier is present and the data word is the same for a period in excess of the duration setting.
Alarm Descriptions LTC/VITC Compare (TC Sync) The LTC/VITC (TC Sync) alarm occurs when LTC and VITC are compared and differ beyond the threshold (1 to 30 frames) selection for a period in excess of the duration setting. DVITC Time Code Alarm Error Types The DVITC Time Code Alarms are listed below. DVITC Loss of Time Code The DVITC Loss of Time Code alarm occurs when no DVITC Time Code in the video signal is detected for a period in excess of the duration setting.
Alarm Descriptions ETR 290 1st Priority The ETR 290 1st Priority menu contains the TS Sync Loss alarm, Sync Byte Error alarm, PAT Error alarm, Continuity Count Error alarm, PMT Error alarm, and PID Error alarm. TS Sync Loss The actual synchronization of the transport stream (TS) depends upon two things. First, synchronization depends upon the number of correct sync bytes necessary for the device to synchronize.
Alarm Descriptions PID Error A Packet Identifier (PID) error occurs when a data stream for each PID is not identified for a period in excess of the range setting. The error might occur where transport streams are multiplexed, or demultiplexed and remultiplexed. ETR 290 2nd Priority The ETR 290 2nd Priority menu contains the Transport Error, CRC Error, PCR Error, PCR Accuracy Error, PTS Error, and CAT Error alarm settings.
Alarm Descriptions occur at least every 700 ms. The PTS are only accessible if the transport stream is not scrambled. CAT Error The Condition Access Table (CAT) is the pointer to enable the Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) to find the Entitlement Management Message (EMM) associated with the CA system(s) that it uses. If the CAT is not present, the receiver is not able to receive management messages, and a CAT Error alarm activates.
Alarm Descriptions • The EIT Error occurs when section zero (S0) or section one (S1) of the Event Information Table is not detected for the set range. The range parameter is independent for each section. • The EIT Error occurs when two sections of the Table ID occur faster than the set Short Range. • The EIT table contains an invalid ID. The EIT table IDs must contain a valid ID.
Alarm Descriptions The MGT table activates the Repetition Error alarm when the appearance of the Master Guide Table falls below the minimum repetition rate. STT Repetition The STT table activates the Repetition Error alarm when the appearance of the System Time Table falls below the minimum repetition rate. RRT Repetition The RRT table activates the Repetition Error alarm when the appearance of the Rating Region Table falls below the minimum repetition rate.
