HOW TO OPERATE THE GRATICULE GENERATOR
USING THE RACK MOUNT CONTROL PANEL
The Evertz HD9690 series HDTV Graticule Generators are multi format digital video graticule generators
that key various alignment markers and mattes over a source video picture in a wide variety of
applications. The model HD9690-444 can be operated in a dual link mode for emerging 4:4:4 high
definition applications, or a 4:2:2 mode for traditional high definition (1125 and 750 line) digital video. The
model HD9690 can only be operated in a 4:2:2 mode for traditional high definition (1125 and 750 line)
digital video. Operation of the two versions of the Graticule generator are identical except where noted.
Throughout this manual the term "HD9690" or "HD9690 series" is used to refer to
both versions. When features apply only to specific versions they will be listed
explicitly (e.g. "HD9690 version" or "HD9690-444 version").
The standard Graticule Generator version consists of a 1 RU chassis with integrated control panel. The
Graticule Generator is also available in a remote control version, which has a blank front panel and either
a rack mountable, or a desktop remote control panel. Operation of the Graticule Generator from the
integrated control panel or the rack mount control panel is identical and is described in this chapter. For
information on controlling the Graticule Generator from the desktop remote panel see chapter 4. For
information about connecting the rack mount remote panel to the Graticule Generator electronics see
section 2.7
3.1.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE KEY AND DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
The display area consists of a 16 digit alphanumeric display, 11 LED status indicators and a 24
pushbutton keypad.
The keypad is used to select and control the attributes, position and size of each of the Graticule
Generator objects. The Setup menu provides a means of setting overall constraints on the Graticule
Generator, allowing you to configure the device to your application. Ten user preset buttons and one
factory preset button allow you to save and recall frequently used collections of objects, to simplify
operation of the Graticule Generator.
The remainder of this section gives an overview of each of the front panel buttons. Sections 3.3 to 3.8 give
detailed information on controlling each of the screen objects.
