Television screens do not normally show the entire picture. A small amount
of each edge is normally cut off. The amount that each edge cuts off can
vary, making the image slightly off center. For normal television viewing,
this is not very important but titles tend to make any imbalance noticeable.
TitleMaker 2000 allows you to adjust the picture to center it on the screen.
To adjust the centering, press SHIFT + POSITION. A large rectangle is
displayed. Use the arrow keys to adjust the rectangle until it is centered
and press NEW LINE/OK. The new centering will be remembered even if
you unplug the unit.
You can re-center the image, bringing it back to the original factory setting,
by pressing SHIFT + POSITION again while the rectangle is displayed.

production equipment (such as a mixer or another titler), satellite tuners,
broadcast tuners/receivers, video-equipped computers, etc. They may have
S-video (Y/C) or composite (RCA-style) output jacks. RF sources (cable TV,
antenna, “channel 3/4,” or other modulated sources) must be converted to S-
video or RCA-style format video using a tuner, television, VCR, etc.
■ Connect the video source’s VIDEO OUT jack to the video IN jack on the
TitleMaker 2000. Connect the source’s AUDIO OUT jacks to the TitleMaker
2000’s AUDIO IN jacks.
