General
The system is represented graphically in this part of the System configuration page. It is here that the user can select a system (or create a new one), or select a system element ( inputs, outputs, destinations …)
6.9 Configuration Menu > System diagram area
Description
The diagram area graphically represents the devices and destinations that compose the system.
In this area, the rear panel of the selected system is represented graphically with the cards, and the connectors are color coded to indicate their status.
The color code is:
- White = Connector available to add and configure.
- Gray = Connector capacity set to NONE and is unavailable to add and configure.
Purple = Connector capacity set to SPLIT; connector 3 mirrors connector 1 (and connector 4 mirrors connector 2), and connector is unavailable to add and configure.
Split-mode may be used with the DisplayPort connectors on the quad channel DisplayPort output card and the SDI connectors on the tri-combo output card.
- Red = Signal unavailable and connector configured into system.
- Yellow = Signal available.
- Green = Signal available and connector configured into system.
On the right hand side of the devices is a list of the created destinations (Screen and Auxiliary).
The tabs on the top allow access to the different systems connected to the EM GUI. The last tab allows the users to create a new system.
A set of zoom buttons allows the user to reduce or enlarge the view size. This functionality is very useful when the system is composed of more than one device.
