2.  Press the DOWN(-) push-button until VANC is displayed. 
3.  Press SELECT to enable the VANC menu.  PROC is displayed. 
4.  Press SELECT to enter the PROC menu.  The current VANC processing option is displayed. 
5.  Press the UP(+) or DOWN(-) push-button until the desired VANC processing option is 

displayed. 

6.  Press SELECT to store the new VANC processing option.  PROC is displayed. 
7.  To return to normal mode, press ESCAPE. 
 
 
Additionnally, setup removal can be enabled in vertical ancillary data when operating with NTSC 
or PAL-M signal format.  To enable or disable setup removal on the VANC, do the following: 
 
1.  Press SELECT to enter the menu.  FRMT is displayed. 
2.  Press the DOWN(-) push-button until VANC is displayed. 
3.  Press SELECT to enable the VANC menu.  PROC is displayed. 
4.  Press UP(+) or DOWN(-) until STUP is displayed. 
5.  Press SELECT to enter the STUP menu.  The current setup selection is displayed. 
6.  Press the UP(+) or DOWN(-) push-button to select ON to enable setup removal or OFF to 

disable setup removal. 

7.  Press SELECT to store the new VANC setup selection.  STUP is displayed. 
8.  To return to normal mode, press ESCAPE.

 

 
 
 
 

3.13   Closed Captioning Selection 

 

When decoding NTSC or PAL-M signals that include closed captioning data on line 21, the 
decoding filter may affect the closed captioning content on the output signal;  to prevent any 
degradation, the module allows line 21 to pass through without being affected by the decoding 
filter.  To select closed captioning pass-through, follow these steps: 
 
1.  Press SELECT to enter the menu.  FRMT is displayed. 
2.  Press the DOWN(-) push-button until CC is displayed. 
3.  Press SELECT to enter the CC menu.  The current setting is displayed. 
4.  To enable closed captioning pass-through function, press the UP(+) or DOWN(-) push-button 

until ON is displayed or OFF to disable the function. 

5.  Press SELECT to store the selected closed captioning pass-through setting.  The menu 

returns to CC. 

6.  Press ESCAPE to return to normal mode. 

 
 

3.14  True PAL Selection 

 

The PAL video signal is inherently non-orthogonal.  Orthogonality refers to the relationship 
between the color burst and the sync falling edge.  However, some source equipment have 
provisions to produce orthogonal PAL signals.  If the input PAL, PAL-M, or PAL-N signal is said to 
be orthogonal,  follow these steps in order to enable true PAL filtering. 
 
1.  Press SELECT to enter the menu.  FRMT is displayed. 
2.  Press the DOWN(-) push-button until TPAL is displayed. 
3.  Press SELECT to enter the TPAL menu.  The current setting is displayed. 
4.  To enable true PAL filtering, press the UP(+) or DOWN(-) push-button until ON is displayed 

or OFF to disable the function. 

5.  Press SELECT to store the selected true PAL setting.  The menu returns to TPAL.
