REAL TIME CLOCK (RTC)
The Real Time Clock is the current time and date. It changes every second, even while
the system is turned off. The real time clock is usually used to display current time/date
text on a video picture.
The text insertion display format for the time/date is:
DD/MMM/YY hh:mm:sec:
e.g. 31/Jan/04 23:59.01
The MAXPRO-Net Server also uses the real time clock to control some of its internal
functions and decisions.
For example, to enhance system automation, lights and alarms can be programmed to
activate during the night and deactivate during the day.
Time dependent system responses can be programmed in macro sequences. The
MAXPRO-Net Server will then use the real time clock to execute the designated macro
sequence and bring about the desired function.
2.2
VIDEO TEXT INSERTION
In order for the MAXPRO-Net video system to label camera selections, display the
current time/date and provide the user with other system information, the text is
superimposed onto the displayed video picture.
This text information is updated by the MAXPRO-Net Server whenever necessary, to
provide the operator with accurate, meaningful system information.
Various modes of displaying the text are available. Usually, white text with a leading
black shadow is used, while the background remains as the normal video picture. The
entire background of the text area can also be made black, or the black with white may
be reversed altogether.
The position of the text information on the video picture is programmable (top, bottom,
left, right or anywhere in-between) for each individual video output channel. The idea is
to position the text information so as to not interfere with the displayed video pictures.
