SignStream Media Express - Alerts

Hover mouse over image to see alternate page.

The Alerts Control page will display a group of up to 12 buttons a user can click to launch a saved Emergency Event.  The Alerts Setup page defines the name and actions in the Event.

When an Alert button is clicked:

• The button will be highlighted in red. A STOP button will appear next to the active Alert.
• All current playlists will stop.
• An emergency playlist will begin running.
• All displays (or a display Zone) will change to appropriate channel and show the message.
• Clicking STOP will restore displays to their previous power and channel settings and restart previously running playlists.

The Alerts feature can impact more than displays. An RS-232 controller or integrated tuner/controller can send a message to presentation room control systems, triggering a programmed response by the system. In addition, an external control system can send Telnet commands that can trigger a saved Emergency Alert.

The Alerts Edit page functions the same way as scheduling Events. Alert behave differently than Events or Commands. When an Alert is sent, the iC-Net controllers will save their current power and channel settings. When an Alert ends, the controllers will return displays to their saved setting.
