Definition for:
"OSD Time & Date = xx"
This menu item allows the user to control the behaviour of the ‘on screen display’ (OSD)
when it is not being used for menus.
The options in the field “xx” are:
Off
Time
Date
Time-Date
GPS
When “on” and not in a menu, the selected information will appear cut into a text box on the
relevant video 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.
1. In interlaced video formats, the top-left block appears in the first field, the bottom-
right block appears in the second field.
2. In progressive video formats at frame rates above 30Hz, the same timecode is output
for each frame pair 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.
3. 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.
