2.6 INITIALISATION When the unit powers up it will be reset to the same conditions as when power was removed until it is changed. In the Remote control mode any changes will be made by the control system, but in Local they will be made on the front panel.
Black can also be put into Split screen mode, so half the picture is test pattern and the other half Input video. 3.8 EDH The V1623 contains an EDH generator. This means a correct EDH data packet is always created on the output, when it is switched on. 3.9 SETUP EAR REMOVAL When a 525 video input is used with set-up, it is not possible to accurately know where the pedestal starts and stops, due to the specification differences between analogue and digital horizontal blanking.
