CONFIGURING THE CHARACTER GENERATOR FUNCTIONS
The HD9010-SIE has independently positionable character windows to display the generator time and
source id/status, LTC, AUX LTC and ATC reader time and user bits. In the RDR LVS and VTR LVS
modes there are two additional windows to display the LVS info and CTL info. The SHAFT ENCODER
knob in conjunction with the HORZ and VERT keys control the position of the character windows. The
VCG CONTROL ON/OFF key selects whether the video character generator (VCG) keyer is on or off.
The use of these keys in combination with the VCG CONTROL SELECT key selects which windows
are displayed and their position on the screen.
The VCG SETUP menu is used to configure the character 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. The chart below shows the items available in the VCG SETUP menu.
Sections 3.7.1 to 3.7.5 give detailed information about each of the sub menus.
