CHAPTER 9:

SYSTEM FEATURES

9.1REAL TIME CLOCK (RTC)

The Real Time Clock is the current time and date. It changes every second, even while the system is turned off. The real time clock is used to display current time/date text on the monitors.

The text insertion display format for the time/date is:

DD/MMM/YY hh:mm.sec:

for example, 31/Jan/96 23:59.01

WARNING: Not all MAXPRO-Net systems will display seconds as seconds are only supported when ENHANCED and SMARTEXTtext modules are used.

9.2MONITOR TEXT DISPLAY

For the MAXPRO-Net system to label camera selections, display the current time/date and provide the user with other system information, text is superimposed onto the displayed video picture.

This text information is updated by the MAXPRO-Net Server whenever necessary, to provide the operator with accurate, meaningful system information.

Various modes of displaying the text are available. Usually, white text with a leading black shadow is used, while the background remains as the normal video picture. The entire background of the text area can also be made black, or black and white may be reversed altogether.

The position of the text information on the video picture is programmable for each individual monitor. Top, bottom, left, right or anywhere in-between. The text information can be positioned so that it does not interfere with the displayed video pictures.

CAUTION: Text display and positioning is set-up during system commissioning. It cannot be changed by an operator.
