Circle Aspect = 16:9

OSD Time and Date
This menu item allows the user to control the behavior of the 'on screen display' (OSD) when it is not being used for
menus.
The options in the field are: Off, Time, Date, Time-Date, and GPS.
When “on” and not in a menu, the selected information will appear cut into a text box on the relevant pattern output.
The Time being displayed is the timecode being output on the video channel you are looking at. Thus if you are
looking at two screens to inspect SDI1 output and SDI2 output the time displays may be offset from each other.
There may be an extra character to the right of the frames-units number. This is a field/frame marker.
• In interlaced video formats, the top-left block appears in the first field, the bottom-right block appears in the
second field.
• In progressive video formats at frame rates above 30Hz, the same timecode is output for each frame due to a
limitation defined in SMPTE-12M . In these higher frame rates, the top-left block appears in the first frame of the
pair, the bottom-right block appears in the second frame of the pair.
• In progressive video formats at frames rates at or below 30Hz, the field/frame marker is not displayed, as a
unique timecode exists for each frame.
