IMPORTANT Measurement and adjustment can be performed for up to 6:59:59 (6 hr 59 min 59 sec). If measurement continues for the maximum duration, the elapsed time display restarts from 0:00:00. 6-10-2-2.

15. How to Install the FA-95DACBL This section describes how to install the optional FA-95DACBL. If you have purchased the FA-95DACBL with the FA-9520, this procedure is unnecessary since the FA-95DACBL has been factory installed. 15-1. Procedure 1. Turn off the power of the FA-9520 and disconnect the power cord.
5. Install the BNC connector panel of the FA-95DACBL into the slot from inside the unit. Secure the connector panel with the screws that were removed from the blank panel. (See the below picture.) 6. If you have install the FA-95DACBL in slot A, set switch 5 in the S2 DIP switch to OFF. If you have installed it into slot B, set switch 5 in the S2 DIP switch to ON.

CONV1 and/or 2. To enable devices that receive signals from FA-9520 to detect ancillary data, select the ancillary data type, output video format/s for CONV1 and/or 2 output/s, and line number into which the data is to be inserted in the ANC EMBED LINE menu (Sec. 5-7-5). The default setting should be set to the line number usually used.
Into which line S2016-3 is inserted can be seen inANC OUT1 (Sec. 5-10-27). 20-5. How to Insert AFD Data to Output Video Signals FA-9520 can insert AFD data into input video signals that have no AFD data inserted. AFD system settings To insert AFD data into output video signals, set basic operational settings in the VIDEO SYSTEM menus as follows.
