12 & 13) CGE and CGD (Character Generator Enable and Disable)
Function: These commands enable or disable the overlay of character generator output
on the player's Video Output signal.
Argument
[Ignored]
[Ignored]
Explanation: The CGE command permits the overlay of characters produced by the
player's internal character generator on the video being routed to the player's Video
Output. The CGD command inhibits the overlay process of even the Frame Number
Display information. At program RUN, the character generator overlay is enabled, but
usually there is no text being generated.
The internal character generator is used to display a variety of information. While in
Automatic Mode, the following information can be displayed:
• Frame or Time Number in the upper left corner, on line 0.
• Chapter Number in the upper left corner, on line 0.
• A user message on any of lines 0 through 11, of 20 characters each.
Note: Descriptive names used in this section differ from the names used in explaining
the external control of the player. CGE is equivalent to the external "DISPLAY ON" and
CGD is equivalent to the external "DISPLAY OFF".
14) DISPLAY
Function: This command controls the generation of a Disc Location display.
Argument
[Integer]
Explanation: The player's internal character generator can produce a Disc Location
display on line 0 of its overlay. On a CAV disc, the five-digit Frame Number is generated.
On a CLV disc, the Time Code 3-, 5-, 0r 7-digit time number is generated — Hours,
Minutes, Seconds, and Frame numbers, depending upon the encoding of the disc. If a CAV
or CLV disc is encoded with chapters, the two digit Chapter Numbers will also be
generated preceeding the frame or time number.. The character generator must be
"enabled" for character overlay or the Disc Location display will not be visible.
