3.6.3.  Selecting and Positioning the Individual Character Inserter Windows 

Separately positional character windows displaying the generator time and user bits are available.  
There are also separate windows for the ATC, LTC and auxiliary LTC reader time and user bits.  The 

SHAFT ENCODER

  knob in conjunction with the 

HORZ

  and 

VERT

  keys controls the position of the 

character windows.  The 

VCG CONTROL ON/OFF

 key selects whether the video character generator 

(VCG) keyer is on or off.  The use of these keys in combination with the 

VCG CONTROL SELECT

 key 

selects which windows are displayed and their position on the screen. 
 
Press 

VCG CONTROL SELECT

  to enable the 

Window Select 

mode.  All the character windows will 

appear on the screen with the window for the generator time highlighted.  Use the 

CHAR GEN ON/OFF

 

key to turn the Time window on or off.  Use the 

VSIZE

 key to turn set the vertical size of the character 

window.  Use the 

VCG CONTROL ON/OFF

  key to turn the highlighted window on or off.  Press and 

hold the 

HORZ

 key and turn the 

SHAFT ENCODER

 knob to move the window horizontally. Press and 

hold the 

VERT

  key and turn the 

SHAFT ENCODER

  knob to move the window vertically. Turn the 

SHAFT ENCODER

  knob without any keys held down to select the next window and then turn it on or 

off and move it to the desired location in the same way.  The HD9010TM returns to the normal VCG 
display mode after the last window has been selected.  Windows that were turned off in 

Window Select

 

mode will disappear. 
 

3.6.4.  Positioning the Overall Character Display and Turning it On and Off 

In the normal VCG display mode when none of the windows are highlighted, the 

CHAR GEN ON/OFF

 

key turns the character keyer on and off.   
 

 

When the VCG DISABLE  GPI has been activated, you cannot turn the character 
windows on using the CHAR GEN ON/OFF

 

key. 

 
In the normal VCG display mode, when none of the windows are highlighted, the arrow keys  (

, 

, 

, 

) move all the displayed windows by the same relative amount.  For example, to move the time 

and source ID/status windows both down by one line press the 

 key.
