GUI AND WEB REMOTE CONTROL | 47PDMPDM Operator's Manual Version 2.4a • September 2019What time is it?If you give talent or producers a clock that’s been slaved to PDM’s output, they’ll be ableto announce time checks and manage the program while staying in sync with the rest ofthe world. For example, if PDM’s delay is 8 seconds, a connected remote clock will show11:30:00 when the time is actually 11:29:52. Whatever gets said at that moment will comeout of PDM exactly at 11:30.PDM’s slave output stays in sync no matter what you do. For example, if you DUMP anddelete 8 seconds of programming, the studio clock instantly jumps back 8 seconds. If PDMis building a delay by slowing the output, the clock slows down to match.PD Alert configures PDM’s automatic dump-event logging and alerting function. Thisimportant feature and its settings are discussed separately, below.Front Panel mimics the front panel menu settings on PDM’s LCD for visual brightness andcontrast.Save Changes The Save button changes PDM’s internal settings to match whatever you’veentered on this page. Revert cancels your recent entries, replacing them with whatever hadbeen previously set in PDM.n Whenever you make changes on the configuration page, the title of that selectionappears in bold to indicate a change is pending, and the Save and Revert buttons willflash.n When you successfully Save those changes, the selection title reverts to normal text,The Save and Revert buttons stop flashing, and a confirmation dialog appears onscreen. You must click OK on this dialog before you can make other changes.n If you type an invalid value or setting, that field appears in red to indicate an error.The PD-Alert SystemWhen a user presses the DUMP button, PDM can automatically e-mail text alerts—or actualaudio files—to anyone you designate. This is our patented PD-Alert feature. For securityreasons, operators can’t change the PD-Alert setup from the device’s front panel: you mustlog into the Graphical User Interface from a network computer, using a password.PD-Alert uses standard Internet e-mail protocols, so it has to be configured like a standarde-mail account. You’ll need an outgoing server address, a valid user name, and the passwordfor that user’s account. This is the same information you’d use setting up Microsoft’sOutlook Express, Mozilla’s Thunderbird, or any other e-mail program on a desktopcomputer20.You can use any existing e-mail account. But most stations find it more efficient to establishan account specifically for PDM.20 PDM doesn’t receive e-mails; it only sends them. So it doesn’t need an incoming “POP” server. Also, PD-Alertdoes not support the SASL [Simple Authentication and Security Layer] protocol, so you won’t be able to useweb mail services like Gmail. |
