    6.8 VITC GENERATOR AND CHARACTER GENERATOR CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The 6231 video keyer submodule is used for both the VITC generator and for the character generator in the 4025TR. This submodule can be used with either the 6150 or 6120 base processor boards, as needed. Video in and out, and the MCU address and data bus are fed up the header from the main board.

    Once per field, the MCU loads the VITC bit pattern for a particular line into static RAM U9. It is thus possible for the 4025TR to generate different VITC data for individual video lines. In practice, the 4025TR will generate one line pair for the primary VITC generator and another for the secondary line pair.

    To calibrate the video keyer, connect colour bars from your sync generator to the Video input loop, of the 4025TR, and to channel A of your oscilloscope, and terminate it. Connect the video output to channel B of your scope and terminate it.
