Menu
Overview
The
General Menu
provides options for configuring the general parameters
of the Encoder such as the time and date, screen savers, and fan control.
See Figure 4.7 for the
General
Menu
structure.
Model Number Option
The model number of the Encoder is reported and cannot be changed.
Whilst the Encoder is initialising this value may be incorrect because all the
option cards may not have been identified yet.
Config Name Option
This option allows a name to be assigned to the current Encoder
configuration. It is this name that is used if the configuration is stored (see
Section 4.16, Configs Menu).
Local Time Option
This option is status only. It gives the local time on the Encoder.
Local Date Option
This option is for status only. It gives the local date on the Encoder.
UTC Offset Option
The Universal Time Co-ordinate (UTC) is effectively the same as Greenwich
Mean Time (GMT). When including SI in the output transport stream the
Encoder is required to output a Time and Date Table (TDT). This uses UTC.
Therefore, as the local time is input on the front panel a UTC offset is
needed so that the UTC time for the

UTC offset. A positive value indicates East of Greenwich, and
a negative value indicates West of Greenwich.
If the specified UTC offset is outside the valid input range, a confirmation
screen is displayed which shows the minimum/maximum value allowed.
GPS UTC Offset
This menu item has values from 0 to 60. The factory default is 13 (which is
the current offset as of June 2005. The value changes at irregular times, a
few times a decade). This number is used to set the GPS_UTC_Offset field
in the ATSC STT table.
Temperature Option
The Temperature option indicates the current internal temperature.
