Line Number Represents Count
In Generic mode, the line number represents the number of a count instead of a real
line number. This is reflected in the label in the softk ey changing from Line to Count.
In the Mode softkey selections, Line:Field 1, Line:Field 2 and Count:Vertical are used
to indicate where the counting starts. For an interlaced TV system, the counting
starts from the rising edge of the first vertical serration pulse of Field1 and/or Field2.
For a non-interlaced TV system, the counting starts after the rising edge of the
vertical sync pulse.
