HOW TO OPERATE THE SOURCE ID ENCODER
The HD9010-SIE HDTV Source ID Encoder is a full function time code reader/generator system for
high definition serial digital video. The HD9010-SIE is a combination dual generator/ dual reader for
Linear Time Code (LTC) and RP188 Ancillary Time Code (ATC), and contains a high resolution
character inserter which can be burn the generator or reader numbers directly into the serial digital
program output. The HD9010-SIE combines the latest LSI technology with sophisticated embedded
microcontroller firmware to provide a powerful, flexible high definition master time code reader and
generator system.
The basic HD9010-SIE operates in one of five modes. In the VTR modes, it is designed to listen to
communications between a VTR and its controller, and take time code and machine status. In the RDR
modes, the HD9010-SIE takes time from its LTC or VITC reader and in GEN mode it allows the user to
preset a time into the time code generator. In the LVS modes, the HD9010-SIE is designed to interface
to a Profile Disk recorder running the LVS software. The serial port of the LVS device sends recorder
status, scene and control information to the HD9010-SIE.

AN OVERVIEW OF KEY AND DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
The front panel controls consist of a 16 digit alphanumeric display, 10 LED status indicators, a 20
pushbutton keypad, and a shaft encoder knob.
The keypad is used to program the source ID message that will be encoded, to control the front panel
Setup menu system, to enter numeric data such as the time and date, and to provide control of the front
panel display. When the SHIFT key is held down, the meanings of some of the keys are modified,
gaining quick access to a wider variety of functions. (Throughout this manual SHIFT + indicates that
you should hold down the SHIFT key while pressing the second key.) The shaft encoder knob is used
to navigate the front panel menu system and to adjust the phasing of the sync pulse outputs.
A front panel Setup menu provides a quick and simple method of configuring the HD9010-SIE for your
application. Sections 3.3 to 3.8 give detailed information on the specific operations required to control
the HD9010-SIE.
3.1.1. The Setup Menu Pushbutton Group
The Setup pushbutton group consists of the GEN, RDR, VCG, UTIL, SELECT and ESC keys and the
SHAFT ENCODER knob and is used to navigate the Setup menu system. The GEN, RDR, VCG and
UTIL keys allow you to quickly go to various parts of the menu while the SELECT, ESC and SHAFT
ENCODER knob are used to navigate the menu.
GEN
Enters the GENERATOR SETUP menu that is used to set up various items related to the
LTC and Ancillary Time Code generators. (See section 0)
