that uses RGB information with a separate, composite sync connec-
tion. If you require this sort of output for your television, please use
a BNC-to-SCART adapter cable (ask your dealer about this if you do
not have one), connecting the RGB BNCs as indicated on the rear
panel of the Nº40, and connecting the sync cable to the C sync
(composite sync) output (which is actually another copy of the
composite video signal). Note that the order of the connections is
G, B, R, C sync from left to right, as seen from the rear of the Nº40
video processor.
Message Position This item determines where on the video display such messages are
displayed. You have six options:
• 4:3 Top
The first line of text is just below the top of a standard 4:3 tele-
vision screen, just inside the “safe picture area.”
• 16:9 Top
The first line of text is just below the top of a wide screen 16:9
television screen when in its linear letterbox mode; this
amounts to a “safe picture area” for this application that
ensures you can read all the text, no matter how you set the
aspect ratio of your television.
• Middle
The text is centered in the middle of the screen.
• 16:9 Bottom
The last line of text is just above the bottom of a wide screen
16:9 television screen when in its linear letterbox mode; this
amounts to a “safe picture area” for this application that
ensures you can read all the text, no matter how you set the
aspect ratio of your television.
• 4:3 Bottom
The last line of text is just above the bottom of a standard 4:3
television screen, just inside the “safe picture area.”
• No display
No on screen messages will be displayed at all. This option is
only available for Rezones and is probably the best choice for a
record zone.
You can choose whichever option makes the most sense for your
system, given the other products’ on-screen displays that may be
competing for screen real estate.
