Monitor Message

The Allegiant Series system features an integral text overlay with two (2) rows of 24
characters each. There are a total of 256 different characters that the system can dis-
play. See Chapter 19, "Character ROM Tables for LTC 8500," on page 68.
The display is broken down into five (5) areas as shown in the figure below:

The time/date display is generated by the system CPU microprocessor module. It is
crystal controlled and battery protected for one year (minimum) without power. The
display is updated once per second and all monitors update simultaneously. The
time/date message is always on the right side of the video display with the time on
the top line. Time displays hours, minutes, and seconds, and can be set to either 12-
hour or 24-hour operation. The date is available in three (3) user-selectable formats:
1. U.S. Format - The order for the American date display is: MM/DD/YY.
(Default for 120 VAC systems)
2. International Format - The order for the international date display is:
DD/MM/YY (Default for 220-240 VAC systems)
3. Asian Format - The order for the Asian date display is: YY/MM/DD
The monitor title/system status display area is a 12-column display to the right of the
camera number. It is unique on each of the monitors. It has different uses, some of
which may be selected by the user at a keyboard location. The various uses are
described below.
The monitor message is a stationary 12-character title which may be placed on a
monitor instead of the system status display. A specific monitor message can be pro-
grammed using the keyboard (see User Function 17), the optional LTC 8059/00
MCS package, or the optional LTC 8850/00 GUI Software package.
