4.11 Inserting Spaces and Deleting Characters
Actuating the MODE switch to DISPLAY after once already in the data entry mode places the TVC-50 into the insert/delete
mode. In this mode both the cursor and LED flash rapidly. The POSITION switch is used to move the cursor to a desired line
or character.
Actuating the CHAR switch to PREV deletes the character under the cursor and pulls the remainder of the line to the left.
Actuating the CHAR switch to NEXT inserts a space under the cursor and moves the line to the right.
4.12 Centering a Line of Text
The insert and delete function is convenient for centering a line of text once entered. First, enter the text desired on each line,
starting at the left of the screen. After the desired text is entered, switch to the insert/delete mode, position the cursor at the
start of the line, and insert (or delete) spaces until the line of text is centered or place where desired.
4.13 Turning the Display OFF and ON
When the DISPLAY" mode is first selected directly after exiting SETUP, the TVC-50 display is turned on. If DISPLAY is
again selected, the display is turned off. From this point, if DISPLAY is again selected, the TVC-50 enters the text "edit"
mode. If, however, SETUP is selected, the display is simply turned back on. In this manner, the MODE switch can be used to
quickly turn the TVC-50 display on and off.
4.14 Operating in the Split Screen Mode
The "split screen" mode is selected by choosing "1S" or 2S for the VPOS when in the SYSTEM/DSP setup menu. The split
screen mode splits the nine display lines into five (5) lines for the top of the screen, and four (4) lines for the bottom.
When in the split display mode and the vertical position is increased, the first five lines of the display move up from the center
of the screen towards the top, and the last four lines move from the center towards the bottom. This keeps TVC-50 text
overlays out of the center of the screen.
4.15 Making a Time Code Window Dub
To make a time code window dub or "burn", set the display format to one of the time code formats and position the time code
display where desired. Both time code and user bits can be displayed at the same time.
4.16 Time Code "+1 Frame" Updating
After reading the time code frame number, the TVC-50 updates it by +1 frame before it is displayed. This is so the displayed
frame number matches the actual time code number that is being read.
NOTE:
To allow the most margin for different time code-to-video phase relationships and to also allow time for updating of the time
code frame number by +1 frame before writing it to the video display, it is recommended that the display be positioned
within the lower half of the screen.
