(continued)
• HD ATC_LTC Line Insertion Control For HD TSG timecode output, selects the line number for ATC_LTC
timecode data.
Note: • Although the output line drop-down will allow any choice within the
9 thru 20 range, the actual range is automatically clamped
(limited) to certain ranges to prevent inadvertent conflict with
active picture area depending on video format. See Ancillary
Data Line Number Locations and Ranges (p. 3-7) for more
information.
• The card does not check for conflicts on a given line number.
Make certain the selected line is available and carrying no other
data.
• ATC_VITC Legacy Support Control When enabled, accommodates equipment requiring ATC_VITC packet in
both fields as a “field 1” packet (non-toggling).
Note: Non-toggling VITC1 and VITC2 packets do not conform to
SMPTE 12M-2-2008 preferences. As such, ATC_VITC Legacy
Support should be enabled only if required by downstream
equipment.
• Timecode Start Selection Selection lists for entering initial (starting) timecode in:
• Hours: 0 to 24 hours
• Minutes: 0 to 59 minutes
• Seconds: 0 to 59 seconds
• Frames: 0 to 59 frames
Note: Although frame range drop-down shows full control range, frame
range is clamped as appropriate for TSG output format selected
using Test Signal Generator tab.
Reset and start a count as follows:
1. Enable desired timecode format as described on previous pages.
2. Enter desired start count using drop-down lists shown to the left.
3. Click Apply Values: Confirm. The pop-up shown below appears
showing the count is ready to be initialized to the entered values.
4. To reset and start the count at entered value, click Yes. At this instance,
entered count commences and increments accordingly.
Note: • Timecode entered with this function is applied to TSG output
only; program material timecode when outputted by the card is
not affected by this function.
• When count is initiated, count remains in effect regardless of
whether TSG output is invoked. If TSG output is invoked at a
later time, the count reflects the running count, as initiated per
the preceding Confirm action described above.
