HDE-3000 - 52 -
5.7.4 Generator Standard Menu
The HDE-3000 contains an internal video generator that is automatically enabled
whenever there is no input video connected to the unit. The internal generator defaults to
generating black 1080i 60 (“black burst”). The HDE-3000 “status display” (in the “menu”
area of the VGA display when the menus are not being displayed) reports “No Video” in
yellow to indicate when there is no input video connected and the internal generator is
enabled.
This menu allows you to select a different default video standard to generate when there
is no input video connected to the unit. The internal generator can generate all of the video
standards that the HDE-3000 supports: 1080i, 1080PsF, 720P, NTSC, etc. Also, the HDE-
3000 “status display” indicates the current standard being generated when the generator is
enabled (in yellow, just below the yellow “No Video” indicator).
5.7.5 Safe Title Area Menu
This feature displays a safe title area test pattern per SMPTE Recommended Practice
RP 27.3. The HDE-3000-generated pattern deviates from the SMPTE pattern in that it
shows square corners as well as round corners. The pattern will “paint” after each subtitle
when used with .usf subtitle scripts. This allows you to easily check each subtitle in a show
for conformance to RP 27.3. You can set the safe title area pattern to several colors and
transparencies by cycling through the color menu.
