Of these, the Monroe CEMS-0500/1000, VDS 840, and Decade Engineering XBOB
require a TV Features license key. The Chyron CODI interface requires both a TV
Features and a Plus Package license key.
• Choose the appropriate protocol for the connected serial device and check that
option.
• The CG should be connected to the server serial port (on the back panel) using
the correct serial cable (TFT, CODI, VDS use NULL modem cable, Monroe CGs use
straight through cable, SAGE Generic depends on specific CG, usually a straight
through cable).
• Use SAGE Generic for Evertz MediaKeyer and Logo Inserters as well as for Miranda
Imagestore CGs. Most of the character generator protocols present some further
configuration options. Some, like Chyron CODI and VDS840 present direct control
of alert repetition, font colors, number of crawl loops, etc.
• Experiment with these settings to get the desired behavior. The CODI protocol also
presents options for generating test patterns. Most CG’s also can be configured to
run repetitions of the video output during an alert.
