would clear BOTH displays after 10 seconds when the OSD timed out.
NOTE: Text cannot be displayed when zone 1 is off.
NOTE: The X and Y coordinates are zero based, with x00, y00 being in the upper left corner of
the display (see exception below for Overlay Mode and 16:9 Aspect Ratio).
NOTE: Currently the On Screen dimensions are 28 characters by 11 characters. Valid OSD
coordinates are 00h to 1Bh by 00h to 0Ah (see exception below for Overlay Mode and
16:9 Aspect Ratio).
NOTE: Important Notes when using Overlay Mode with System Setting Monitor Aspect
Ratio of 16:9:
NOTE: When Monitor Aspect Ratio is set to 16:9, the OSD rows 0 and 3 are not
displayed when in Overlay mode. This implies that when the Monitor Aspect
Ratio is set to 16:9 and an OSD Overlay message is displayed, effectively x04,
y00 is the upper left corner and that valid (visible) coordinates are 00h to 1Bh by
04h to 0Ah.
NOTE: Some older versions of code permit writing to rows 02h and 03h while in
Overlay mode. This practice is highly discouraged for compatibility issues, and
as it may interfere with some monitors’ proper display of 16:9 ratio material (i.e.
writing to rows 02h – 03h may force the monitor back to 4:3 ratio temporarily).
NOTE: Non-overlay mode always uses the full OSD resolution, and thus valid OSD
coordinates for Non-overlay mode are always 00h to 1Bh by 00h to 0Ah (X
columns and Y rows respectively) regardless of the Monitor Aspect Ratio
setting in System parameters.
NOTE: The display is blanked with each D (display) command.
To display a multi-line message, use the following form:
(00, D, O, T00, M0, X04, Y01, "Multiple", X05, Y02, "Lines of", X06, Y4,
"Text";1181)
NOTE: The B&K Component's device has priority over its OSD. Thus, system events can
overwrite BKC-DIP displayed text. For example:
(00, D, O, T00, M0, X0, Y0, "No Timeout", X0, Y1, "But System can overwrite";13AF)
The text will appear on the On Screen Display. If, however, the unit must display
information (such as when the user changes volume), the OSD will be overwritten (in this
case with the volume information).
Front Panel Display (F): (receiveID, D, F, Ttt, Xcc, Yrr,"text";cs16)
