USING THE VIDEO TEXT GENERATOR WITH RS422 SLAVE

When using the DD1500m as an RS422 slave, there will be no DL1500 connected to the
system as the DD1500m is being controlled by the video edit controller. In this situation,
you have no way of knowing the status of the DD1500m. Using the video text generator,
you may set the DD1500m so that its status can be displayed on a spare video monitor .
Alternatively, you may set it so that the video text generated by the DD1500m is
superimposed on the video monitor used for monitoring picture.
You can set the text generator to display the DD1500m's transport status (i.e. play, stop,
rewind, fast forward, etc.), its NOW time and the amount free on disk. This is set in the
SYSTEM- I/O - VIDEO page (see pages 6-7 for a description of this).
