Displaying Time Data and Operation Mode Indications
Time data and operation mode indications can be displayed on the monitor screen.
Time data can also be displayed in the time counter display on this unit.
To view time data and operation mode indications on the monitor screen
Set the CHARA. DISPLAY menu item (see page 66) to ON (factory default setting).
The time data and the indication of the current operation mode are superimposed on the video signal that is being output from the SUPER connector, and can be viewed on the monitor screen.
Use the DISPLAY CONTROL menu items (see page 66) to select the information displayed and the character type and position of the indications.
When you set the SUB STATUS menu item (see page 67) to other than OFF, you can also display supplementary status information on the monitor screen such as the operating mode of the internal time code generator.
For details of supplementary status information, see “Displaying Supplementary Status Information” on page 79.
