. Text Overlay
Text Overlay is the ability to superimpose user-generated text over the
output video. Text Overlay and CC are mutually exclusive; i.e. at any
given time, you can only display CC or text overlay but not both. Text
Overlay is generated via RS-232 Serial port (in live mode) using an
application such as HyperTerminal, or played-back from internal memory.
Note on RS-232 port availability on your PC
Some PCs and notebooks do not have a
serial port. To program the sender you may
need a USB to RS-232 Serial converter.
These are available from Hall Research
(Model USB-RS232-1).
Text overlay requires a video input; this means that if you have no video
connected, you cannot get a video output.
The unit can display a variety of text styles on the screen as shown below:
. CC Stream out (CC-101-PRO Only)
Press the “CC” and the “Pro Output” selection buttons simultaneously to
enable/disable the Closed Caption streaming out through the RS232 serial
port.
When the Closed Caption stream out is enabled, the CC green LED will
blink for 3 seconds. And when the Closed Caption stream out is disabled,
the CC red LED will blink for 3 seconds.
To have the unit default to streaming the CC out on power up, you must
use the RS232 port with the available GUI software to turn on the feature.
