Video Path Controls
Accesses the flat field generator, timecode burn-in, text
burn-in, and timecode generator (self-generate) controls
for Video Path A card input.
• Flat Field Insertion Controls
Controls flat field insertion, failover insertion, and format as follows:
• Enable:
• Disable never replaces input video with flat field.
• Enable manually replaces input video with flat field (regardless or not if
input video is present).
• Enable on Loss of Video allows valid input video to pass, but fails over
to flat field upon loss of input video.
Note: Failover occurs when receiver module does not detect stable lock
for known formats supported by the card.
• Format selects the flat-field format when flat field is inserted onto video.
Choices are typical TV and film SD, HD, and 3G formats (refer to
Specifications in Chapter 1. Introduction for more information).
Note: When flat field is inserted (either manually or by failover), format
of flat field is always as set per this drop-down, and does not
automatically track with input video.
• Color allows flat field color selection of nine common colors.
• Status shows flat field insertion status, as well as status of input SDI on the
video path.
• Timecode Master Controls Provides controls for using either video or other external timecode source, or
using the card TC Generator self-generated timecode.
• Free Run Timecode Controls Allows an initial (starting) count to be applied to output video timecode when
Free Run (TC Gen) insertion is enabled.
Note: • Initialization can only be applied when card is outputting Free Run
timecode (as shown by Output Status displaying “Free Run”).
• If failover to Free Run occurs due to loss of external timecode(s), the
Free Run count assumes its initial count from the last valid externally
supplied count.
• Output Status shows the timecode source being used
for card video output timecode and burn-in. If no
signal-based timecode is being inserted into output
video, Insertions Disabled is displayed.
• Timecode Passthrough selects either card
self-generated timecode (TC Gen On) or allow card
timecode passthru (TC Gen Bypass).
• Countdown Mode and Count Direction controls
apply only to card self-generated timecode
- Direction control selects either count-down or
count-up.
- Countdown Mode selects action to take in
countdown mode when zero count is reached (either
wrap to 23: hour or halt at zero).
