HORITA
MG-50
Matte Generator with "On-Screen" Readout
Can overlay one of twenty programmable
Matte patterns or rectangular “Border”
outlines over a Video image. Use is to
precisely locate, define, or measure
areas in Video image where informa-
tion is to be placed, insert
“Curtains” during film/Video trans-
fers, outline a particular area of
interest, etc.
■ Ten formats with preset aspect ratios ranging from 1.37:1 to
2.74:1. Ten with User-Definable Position, Size and Aspect
Ratio.
■ Six selectable matte types for each format. Matte Black or
White, Matte/Video Reverse and 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, Convergence Pattern and Oscilloscope Line
Trigger and Generator
Overlay Safe Action and Safe Title
borders, with optional Center Cross
over incoming Video, enables graphics
and other information to be
correctly positioned within the
picture. The SAG-50 can also
overlay Video images with Dot and
Crosshatch test patterns (with Image Center indi-
cators) for performing convergence and centering adjustments on single
monitors, or for setting up Video walls. An added feature not found in
any other safe area generator is the ability to output an oscilloscope
“Line Trigger” signal and display an intensified line with a digital read-
out showing its actual line and field number on the Video monitor.
■ Intensified Line and Trigger can quickly be changed from line -10 to
line 262, and the field can be selected as Field-1, Field-2, or both.
This provides a very accurate method of identifying the exact loca-
tion of and/or placing graphics in the picture, measuring text height
in line numbers, etc.
■ The trigger output signal changes an ordinary oscilloscope into a pre-
cise 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.
■ Safe Action and Safe Title overlays are fixed at 80% and 90% of the
scanned image area and include individual 25% and 30% horizontal
markers.
■ Dot/Crosshatch convergence patterns are 15 lines/dots across, by 13
lines/dots top to bottom. Both patterns have special “Center Screen”
pattern for locating exact center of scanned image. Safe Area Center
Cross can be switched On/Off separately.
AM-50 "On-Screen" Audio Meter
An on-screen Audio Level meter, the AM-
50 provides a visual indication of Audio
signal amplitude. Dual channel
“bridging" type Audio inputs accept
balanced or unbalanced (single
ended) stereo Audio inputs.
Balanced input range is selec-
table from 0, +4 or + 8 dB, sin-
gle ended input range from
-20, -10 or -5 dB.
■ Various formats are for displaying the Audio levels, including
those designed to take up a minimum amount of on-screen
Video space ("See -Thru" mode, Black Mask On/Off, Audio
Level Markers On/Off, etc.) Display Format, Size and Position
selections are saved in non-volatile memory.
■ Channels can be individually identified as 0-9 A-F, or as a group
from 00 to 99 or 0-9 A-Z.
■ Normal, Peak, Alarm, and Phase Check modes are provided.
■ Phase Check mode shows "IN" or "OUT" phase condition.
■ Alarm mode leaves flashing "Peak" reading until display is
manually reset.

VS-50 Video Stopwatch
The VS-50 "Video Stopwatch" overlays
Video with a digital stopwatch dis-
play that can count either up or
down. Use it to time lectures, events,
indicate time remaining for
announcers, talent, etc. The VS-50
can be controlled by front panel or
remote switches. The switch closure remote
inputs are on two standard DB9 connectors and provide control of
timer operations such as Seconds, Minutes and Hours Preset, Count
Up/Down, Counter Reset, Counter Run/Stop and Display Lap Time.
■ Adjustable character size includes exceptionally large characters for
viewing across the room
■ GPI output when Down Counter reaches Zero
■ Battery backed up Clock/Calendar keeps time of day and date
■ Time and date can be displayed in a variety of formats
■ Stores and displays up to 9 lines of 20 characters each for adding
source ID information
