As with the other display formats, the horizontal "position" value is the starting character for where the hours value is
positioned. For the display area of nine lines of twenty characters, screen character locations are numbered 001 for the upper
left corner, and 180 for the lower right corner.
For example, if set to "001" the HH display is located at the very uppermost left screen position. The other associated values
are displayed directly underneath the HH hours display. Increasing the position value moves the entire display across the
screen until the HH display drops down to the next line.
The next menu items are for setting up the date display.

display screen. A value of 180 starts the display at the lower right of the screen.
NOTE:
When the position of the date display is first changed via actuation of the CHAR switch, the TVC-50 temporarily exits the
SETUP menu and returns to display the text screen on which the date will be displayed. Further actuation of the switch causes
the starting position of the date display to move character-by-character in a serpentine fashion so that you can observe its
actual position within the video and any TVC-50 text overlay.
The following nomenclature is used to describe the date format:
