EAS CRAWL The Evertz Logo Inserter, Media Keyer, or character generator unit must support the +E option and be pre-programmed to recognize EAS communication on the specific serial com port being used. Trilithic devices additionally require you to check a configuration box to “include text file with an EAN.” 2. The text part of EAN will still pass on non-VO-wired setups. Analog or digital audio from the EAS device must be used to connect audio to the Evertz keyer.

Protocol IP based EAS implementations, where an audio wav file is sent to the Evertz keyer will not suffice for this National EAN test. The audio component has to be fed discretely due to the undetermined length. The EAN still has two components: A text file is generated and most devices will FTP this to the device over IP. Therefore you need the ability to transmit the digital data and the voice messages that follow for as long a period of time as required. Any Emergency Action Notification (EAN) message must be broadcast without delay and these messages will last an indeterminate length of time. For EAN and EAT national alerts, the audio and text files are not generated or sent, since EAN/EAT alert audio is live and of undetermined duration. A NATIONWIDE EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM (EAS) TEST FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), will conduct the first nationwide Emergency Alert System (EAS) Test on Wednesday, November 9, at 2:00 p.m.
