CONFIGURATION USING 9150 CONFIGWARE™
The 9150 Configware™ software is used to change the HD9155's default hardware setup for different
applications. In addition to controlling the character inserter windows, VITC line placement and input time
code selection, the HD9155 Systems parameters can also be controlled using the 9150 Configware™
software. Configuration sets can be saved and recalled to speed setups of the hardware. The HD9155
stores one user configuration which can be recalled by setting the front panel CONFIG switch to USER.
Note that the Front panel DOWNCONVERTER and CHAR GEN switches will override the settings of the
user configuration unless they are disabled by setting the Class 15 system parameters 7 and 8 to –255
respectively. (See section 4.1.4.4 for information about setting the system parameters.)
