Communication Screen

This read-only screen enables you to view the RS-232 remote port baud rate (left) and port type (right). The protocol for this port is 9600 baud, eight data bits, no stop bits, and no parity. You cannot change any of these port parameters. (This screen is the same on the DSC 3G-HD A and the DSC HD-3G A.)

Device Info Screen

This read-only screen provides a quick view of certain selections, parameters, and status information for the DSC. (All these items are also on other DSC screens. However, the Device Info screen provides them all on a single screen for a system overview). This screen differs between the two DSCs as follows:

The DSC 3G-HD A Device Info screen (shown in figure 27 on the next page) shows the AFL On and Off status and the display resolution and refresh rate (no genlock information).

The DSC HD-3G A Device Info screen shows the Genlock/AFL On and Off status (no separate items for AFL or the display rate).
