MG-50 Matte Generator
with “On-Screen” Readout
The MG-50 can overlay one of 20
programmable matte patterns or
rectangular “border” outlines over a
video image. Use is to precisely
locate, define, or measure areas in
video image where information is to
be placed, insert “Curtains” during
film/video transfers, outline a
particular area of interest, etc.
◆ Ten formats with preset aspect ratios ranging from1.37:1 to 2.74:1.
Ten with user-definable position, size and aspect ratio.
◆ Selectable matte types for each of the formats include matte black or
white; matte/video reverse; full matte or rectangular border outline.
◆ On-screen readout displays the current format number, type, aspect
ratio, and vertical and horizontal position.
◆ Select matte and/or on-screen readout displays On/Off.
◆ Direct video bypass when power is switched off.
◆ All user-defined formats and types stored in non-volatile memory.

SAG-50 Safe Area Generator
The SAG-50 overlays one of eight safe
action and safe title borders, with
optional center cross over incoming
video, enabling graphics and other
information to be positioned within
the picture. The SAG-50 can also
overlay video images with Dot and
Crosshatch test patterns (with image
center indicators) for lining up cam-
era graphics or performing conver-
gence and centering adjustments on
single monitors, or for setting up video walls. Can also output an oscillo-
scope “Line Trigger” signal and display an intensified line with a digital
readout showing its actual line and field number on the video monitor.
◆ Safe action and safe title overlays are fixed at 80% and 90% of the
image area and include individual 25% and 30% horizontal markers.
◆ Intensified Line and Trigger can quickly be changed from line -10 to
line 262, and the field can be selected as Field-1/2, or both. This
provides a very accurate method of identifying the exact location of
and/or placing graphics in the picture, measuring text height in line
numbers, etc.
◆ Line trigger output changes an ordinary oscilloscope into a precise
piece of test equipment capable of observation and identification of
individual video lines of either or both fields for viewing VITS test
signals, VITC time code, head switching points, etc.

VS-50 Video Stopwatch with GPI Output
The VS-50 “Video Stopwatch”
overlays your video with an
“on-screen” timer display to
help you time lectures, speak-
ers, events, talent, rehearsals,
indicate time remaining, etc.
Plus, with the GPI output, you
can trigger and time sound or
other effects, lab experiments, etc., relative to the action in your video.
Four operating modes provide you with a simple downcounter to zero, a
downcounter that continuously “reloads” each time it reaches zero, a
combination down/up counter that counts up after it counts down to
zero, or a simple up counter.
The versatile VS-50 GPI output can quickly and easily be set to signal you
when the counter reaches zero, or on every second or minute of the
down or up count. Other features include time and date display,
captioning/titling ability, and remote control inputs.
◆ Nine different stopwatch display formats include those with tenths
and hundredths of a second.
◆ Adjustable character sizes include large characters that can be
viewed across the room.
◆ Simple “switch closure” inputs for remote control of start, stop,
preset, reset, count up/down, etc.
◆ Multiple formats for time and date displays.
◆ Stores and displays up to nine lines of twenty characters each for
captioning/titling video image.
◆ Four separate setup menu displays make it easy to set character size,
position, contrast, black/white, mask, time, date, etc.
◆ “Split screen” vertical position mode allows placement of display lines
at the very top and bottom of images to keep them out of the action.

ETD-100 Elapsed Time Display
The ETD-100 is a 0.8” H LED display timer that can be used to time various
situations and events such as talent, speakers, presentations, experiments,
etc. It can count up or down and outputs a “GPI” signal when the count
reaches zero. The LED display has a brightness control and is large
enough to be read across a room. Display of tenths and hundredths of a
second can be turned on or off. The ETD-100 is activated via simple local
or remote switch closure inputs to initiate timing sequences of
reset/count-up/stop and preset/count-down/stop. Local and remote
setup of the preset time is also available and all counter setup
information is retained in non-volatile memory.
