Power On/Off
Press POWER and the power light comes on. You should see a screen (called the
POWER
Editing Screen) on the OUTPUT monitor, similar to the one in the illustration
below.
Press POWER again to turn power off. Titles are retained in the TitleMaker 2000's memory
even if the unit is unplugged.
When power is off, the OUTPUT monitor shows the video source that is plugged into

Demo
Press the DEMO button to automatically demonstrate a range of features and effects. If no
demo appears, check the connections. Press any letter key to stop the demo.
Instant Titles
Creating basic titles is simple. Start with
the Editing Screen. The screen may not
look exactly like this but it should have at
least the blinking cursor ( ). Press POWER
once or twice if the cursor is not dis-
played.
The cursor indicates where characters you
type will appear. Page symbols ( , de-
scribed later) separate pages of titles.
Type some titles. They appear at the
cursor location. Press PLAY when you are
finished. The Editing Screen disappears
and the finished titles fill the screen. Con-
gratulations — you have created your
first titles! Press NEW LINE/OK to return
to the Editing Screen.
The Editing Screen and the Play Screen
You have just seen how the screen changes appearance, depending on whether you are
creating titles or displaying them. The Editing Screen (the one with the cursor) is used to
create or change titles. The Play Screen shows just the titles, with no cursor or other items.
It is the screen you use to display and record the completed titles.
