The

keys are used in conjunction with the numeric keys to set the value stored in
the OFFSET register.
Press the
ENTER
key to recall the last value that you entered into the OFFSET register. The display
prompt at the left of the display will blink while data entry mode is active, and the dual functioned keys
are now changed to their numeric values. If you want to re-enter this value press the
ENTER
key to
complete the data entry.
Pressing any numeric key will clear the previous value and place the new value into the numeric
display, starting at the right. Un-entered digits are assumed to be zero, hence leading zero digits are
not required. When the required number of digits are entered, then press the
ENTER
key to complete
the data entry.
Attempts to enter too many digits, or make illegal entries, i.e. 65 minutes, will result in the display
returning to the last valid time entry made. Re-enter the correct value and press the
ENTER
key.
Pressing the
CLEAR
key will cancel the data entry mode without changing any data.
The numeric keys return to their normal display functions when the data entry has been completed by
pressing
ENTER
or canceled by pressing the
CLEAR
key. The display prompt will return to its steady
On state when data entry mode has been completed.
The drop frame and colour frame modes of the code being read are transferred to the generator during
jam sync. The formatted modes return when the Jam sync mode is terminated.

The user will have to determine by experience the most suitable lines for recording VITC according to
the following criteria.
In order to protect the VITC reading process against dropouts, the VITC is usually repeated on 2 non-
adjacent lines in the vertical interval of the video signal, not earlier than line 10 (6 for PAL) or later than
line 20 (21 for PAL). For certain recordings, the use of some of these lines may interfere with other
signals inserted into the vertical interval.
