The Model 3960 Video Character Inserter accepts time of year information as either a serial time code or in parallel BCD form, along with a composite video input. The time data is formatted and inserted into the The Model 3960 will operate with either serial or parallel time sources accepting milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours and days time data (or some portion thereof). Several internal (or optionally front panel) adjustments permit the operator to select the character size, vertical and horizontal position and brightness and H = Hours · · · · · · time@datachroninc.comwww.datachroninc.com Fax: (714) 491-8213(714) 491-8500 Anaheim, CA 928051333 South Lewis Street - Time Display - Remote Alpha-Numeric Header Data Insertion - Front Panel Numeric Header Data Insertion - Multiple Channels Options: m = milliseconds S = Seconds M = Minutes D = DaysWhere: DDD:HH:MM:SS:mmm enable a mask.
