Misc A Menu: Setting the Slate, Closed Caption, and Aspect Ratio Parameters
The Misc A menu shown below provides controls for setting parameters for slate text that can overlay
the test pattern, a moving cyclops signal with audio pop and beep options, closed caption display
options, and AFD code selection for aspect ratio display options.
Use the controls to set the following:
• Slate ID – On or Off. Select On if you want to use the Slate feature.
• Cyclops/Aud ID – Adds motion, audio pop or beep, and closed caption elements to the video
test signal which proves that the signal reaching this destination is a true live signal and not a
freeze frame from a frame synchronizer that has lost its input.
Available selections are: Off, Cyclops Only, Cyclops Aud Pop, Cyclops Aud Beep.
• Slate Text – Enter the text that you want to overlay on the test pattern and hit enter on your
computer keyboard.
• ANC Source ID – On or Off. When on, the ANC Source ID control embeds the first 16 characters
of the Slate Text into the vertical interval as ancillary data.
• Closed Cap Gen – If you are testing closed captions, select one of the closed caption display
methods. This impacts how closed captions are displayed on screen.
Available selections are: Off, Hello World, Knock Knock, Pop-On 1, Roll-Up 1, Fast Talk,
Special Char, Corners, Italics/UL, Indent, CC1 and CC2.
• AFD Out – Active Format Description code selection. This impacts how the aspect ratio of the
video content is treated when upconverting or downconverting between the 16:9 and 4:3
aspect ratios. The most commonly used AFD code selections are 1001 and 1010.
