Mono sound is available for all TV subsystems. Different internal audio frequencies are
selectable.
Different analog Stereo sound systems are optional available, for example, for the
countries Germany (FM BG), Korea (FM Mk), and Czech Republic (FM DK).
NICAM and BTSC sound
are options. NICAM is a digital sound system mainly used for
PAL B/G, PAL I, PAL D, and SECAM L. Three special test signals are available to
check NICAM equipment.
The BTSC/MTS sound system is selectable for NTSC M and PAL M. BTSC is mainly
used in the United States and Taiwan. Several specific test signals are included.
External sound modulation is possible for all sound systems except NICAM and BTSC
sound. For BTSC, an external MTS signal can be applied; so the instrument operates as
RF modulator.
The modulated sound carrier is available at the RF Output and Sound IF Output. The
NICAM signal is applied to the NICAM Output and the BTSC baseband spectrum to the
MTS Output at the rear.
Teletext and Wide Screen Signalling bits
(WSS)
are available with both the PAL and
SECAM standard. The Teletext system is according to the WST Teletext standard and
includes both TOP and FLOF or Antiope. Automatically generated Wide Screen
Signalling bits in TV line 23 are bits to identify some transmission information, for
example, Aspect Ratio or Subtitling. Additionally the WSS bits are programmable.
Closed Captioning (CC)
is a subtitling system which is transmitted using either field of
line 21. In the Fluke 54200 Closed Caption and Text Service (T1 to T4) are available for
the TV systems NTSC, PAL 625 and 525 line systems, and SECAM.
The
VPS (Video Programming System) and PDC (Programme Delivery Control)
systems are used to synchronize a VCR recording with the actual broadcast transmission
(start and stop time). VPS is mainly used in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, whereas
PDC is used in many other European countries.
VPS uses TV line 16 of the PAL transmission standard. The PDC data are transmitted
with the Teletext signal.
Remote control
is done either using the IEEE-488 or RS-232C Interface. The option
provides both methods, however, only one can be used at a time.
