General Config
General Config applies to the currently selected program. There are two boxes to control the
video mode of the program and a button to select line usage.
Current Video Format
This box displays the current video format description for the selected program. It is only read
when the setup software starts and will not change if the video mode is changed while in setup.
Requested Video Format
The Requested Video Format controls how the program will respond to the video on that
program. The format can be either set to a specific format or to work with any video format in
either HD or SD. If set to a specific format then that format must be present or the TES9 will flash
the status LED to indicate that the video format is not correct. The TES9 will continue to insert
but will insert data as if it was the requested video format.
If the Requested Video Format is set to Any HD Format then the TES9 will automatically adapt
to the video as long as it is a known HD format. Modules which format data differently for the
different formats will format for the video.
Line Usage Dialog
The Line Usage Button brings up a menu to control how lines will be used. When this button is
selected, the following menu is displayed.
Line Usage Dialog
This menu allows you to specify what to do with data that may already be on a VANC line. If you
check the Append check box then the data on the line will be preserved and any new data will be
added to the end of the line. If the Append box is left unchecked then data already on the line will
be erased if any streams are configured to use that line for insertion. Control of overwriting
upstream data is on a line by line basis and is separate for the chroma and luma channels. It is
possible to have different settings for different lines.
Note — Lines that are assigned to a Transparent Stream configured for High
Capacity cannot be used by any other stream, and any upstream data on any of the
assigned lines will be overwritten.
If you are appending data to a line then you may reserve bytes on the line for the existing data.
This setting can normally be ignored (set to zero). If you will be filling the line with the
