module (Option BB), which will remember all ten pages of text
when power is turned off or in the case of accidental power loss.
The user may also create multiple pages of text, switch the unit
off, and remove the keyboard. The unit can then operate without
the keyboard, and be switched between the ten text messages by
using the front panel Page Up and Page Down buttons as needed.
The Video Titler has four switches and two LEDs on the front panel.
Most functions are set by use of the keyboard. Following is a brief
description of each switch and its functions:
Power Switch
The power switch is used to turn the Video Titler unit on or off.
When off, the unit draws minimal power. When on, the power light
will illuminate (green) and the Video Titler will be ready to use.
Display Switch
The display switch is used to enable or disable the titler display.
This will allow the video signal to pass through without the title
display. The blue indicator next to this switch will illuminate when
the display is enabled.
Page Up
The Page Up switch will display the previous page with each press
until the first page is reached. For changing pages, this switch
operates the same as the keyboard PgUp key. This switch is
provided for applications where the keyboard may be disconnected
from the main unit.
Page Down
The Page Down switch will display the next page with each press
until the last page is reached. For changing pages, this switch
operates the same as the keyboard PgDn key. This switch is
provided for applications where the keyboard may be disconnected

Keyboard Functions
Most functions of the Video Titler are controlled through the
keyboard. See the next section on Using the Titler for additional
information.
TLR300/TLR400 Functions
The TLR300/400 Titler series has been engineered for a broad
range of applications. A variety of options and features may be
selected or changed either through the menu system or by way of
a combination of keystrokes. This section describes the use of the
function keys and menus. Most selections can be made either by
pressing the appropriate number key or by using the up and down
cursor arrows and then pressing the <ENTER> key. The <ESC>
key can be used to exit most menus without changing the current
settings.
Help Screen - <F1>
A HELP screen is available by pressing the <F1> function key on
the attached keyboard. This screen lists many of the common key
commands and function keys. You can switch to the second page
of this list by pressing the down arrow key. Pressing the <ESC>
key will return the unit to normal operation.
Color Options
Eight colors of text are available from the <F3> Foreground Color
menu, and eight background color tiles may be selected from the
<F4> Background menu. Any letters typed will appear on a
contrasting background tile which surrounds the letter. The unit
will not allow the user to select the same Foreground and
Background color, which would make the letters unreadable. A
transparent background is also available, which places the text
characters directly onto the video image or underlying color page.
If using a solid underlying page, the user can choose from eight
