Video Input Selection and the

On-Screen Display

When using the Video Monitor output with the On-Screen Dis- play, the DC-2 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 this occurs, reselect the input to view the weak signal.

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 video format.

Adjusting the position allows you to move the DC-2 display items to a location where they will not interfere with any other video overlays or signals 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 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 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).

MENU BACKGROUND allows you to have on-screen controls displayed on a solid color background (ON) or directly superimposed on your video image (OFF).

Press DONE twice to return to the main menu.
