messages from internal memory
The CC-101 units will playback data from its internal user programmable
memory. While the unit is in playback mode, the CC mode LEDs will be
blinking. To stop playback, hit the CC mode selection button.
. GUI (Graphical User Interface by Hall Research)
You can download a Windows® GUI from the CC-101(-PRO) product’s
webpage on
www.hallresearch.com
. There are multiple versions of the
program available depending on the revision of firmware in the device.
The newer revisions programs are not 100% compatible with older
firmware devices.
This software will allow you to upload up to 10 different strings to the
CC-101 or CC-101-PRO for text overlay. Each of these 10 strings may be
up to 200 bytes in length. A wait time of 0 seconds to 65,535 seconds
may be added to the end of each of these strings.
After these strings have been uploaded to the CC-101(-PRO), there are 4
different ways to tell the CC-101(-PRO) how to show these stored strings.
1. Specify, in the GUI, to show these stored strings every time the
unit is turned on.
2. Press the “Input” and the “CC” selection buttons simultaneously
for 3 seconds. Hitting the closed caption “CC” mode button will
terminate the playback mode. (Note that there is a slight delay
after pressing the buttons before the playback starts). Both the
red and green led’s will blink to indicate that a playback is
occurring.
3. Specify, in the GUI, to show these stored strings immediately
after the upload is complete, via the “Show strings on upload”
checkbox.
4. Send a hex command to display these stored strings on power-
up. Hex commands are listed in table 2.
These 10 strings can be composed of ASCII characters, Hexadecimal
characters, and special TOC (text overlay commands)
