Vertical Interval Test Signals (VITS) may be included on Flat. Field and Matrix test signals in single standard configurations.
It may be configured for multiple signal standards by selecting up to 26 signals as a user signal set. Up to eight messages, each containing two 16-character lines, may be stored for later recall. One message may be inserted into the video test signal, and up to four may be cycled into the test signal in a continuous loop (displaying each message for 1 to 9 seconds). The message may be positioned anywhere within the safe-title area. Creating ID text is fast and simple using the alphanumeric keypad no tedious scrolling through the alphabet with arrow keys for each character in the ID
message. Just type in a message backlit LCD display. Up to four complete front panel configurations, including menu selections, current text message, and cycle information may be stored for later recall. Thirteen audio tone frequencies (from 50 Hz to 20 kHz) or an audio sweep are selectable from the Tone menu. Four tone levels (10, 0, +4, and +8 dBu) are available as well. Special tone frequencies and levels within these ranges may be set up for special applications. An audio click sequence can also be selected as an aid in easily identifying and tracing left and right.
