CHARACTER GENERATOR FUNCTIONS

The 8010TM has six independently positionable character windows to display the generator and LTC
and VITC reader time and user bits. The four arrow keys (, , , ) control the position of all the
windows. The CHAR GEN ON/OFF key selects whether the video character generator (VCG) keyer is
on or off. The use of these keys in combination with the CHAR GEN WINDOW key selects which
windows are displayed and their position on the screen.
Five items on the programming menu are used to configure the character size, style, and whether
frames, fields and symbols should be displayed in the character generator. The following descriptions
appear in the order they appear on the menu.
