Video Input Selection and the
On-Screen Display
When using the Video Monitor
output with the On-Screen Dis-
play, the DC-1 automatically puts
up a blue or grey background
when no video signal is present.
Occasionally, an incoming video
signal may be so weak that it is
recognized as essentially no sig-
nal, triggering the background
overlay. If th is occurs, simply
reselect the input.
In addition to the front-panel display, the DC-1 contains a character genera-
tor for a video overlay display on monitors. Since the on-screen display is
capable of showing the full menu of options available at any point, calibra-
tion of the system is faster and easier if the DC-1 video output is connected
to a video input on a video monitor. This display will also show any
dynamic adjustments to controls such as volume, contrast, etc.
Adjustments to the on-screen display are made from the Display Adjust
menu. To display this menu, press the MENU ▲, ▼ or SELECT buttons on
the Remote to enter the Main Menu. Press MENU ▼ twice to select
DISPLAY ADJUST.
Press SELECT to enter the Display Adjust menu. Press SELECT to open the
On-Screen Display menu.
The VideoOn-Screen Display
This menu allows you to choose the position and duration of items dis-
played on-screen during normal operation, as well as the options of color or
black and white display and conformance to local broadcast format.
Adjusting the position allows you to move the DC-1 display items to a
location where they will not interfere with any other video overlays your
system may generate.
The STATUS option allows you to choose to have the on-screen display
always off, always on, or on for a two-second duration. Note that if you
choose to have the display "time out", this will not affect the display of the
main menu. Note also that parameter changes will still be performed when
you make adjustments with MENU ▲ or ▼, even if the display is inactive.
If you choose ALWAYS OFF, you will not be able to use the video overlay,
and even setup will have to be done using only the front-panel display.
COLOR allows you to have the on-screen display presented in mono-
chrome or color. FORMAT allows you to select NTSC, PAL or SECAM
formats. (Note that SECAM format is available only in monochrome).
Press DONE twice to return to the main menu.
