Click Image to Enlarge

The ES-455U is a Video Character Inserter unit which receives an external source of SMPTE/EBU timecode. 8 digits of Time data (Hours, Minutes, Seconds and Frames) and 8 User Bit digits are superimposed onto a video signal looped-thru the unit. On-screen menus allow adjustment of the display Size, Position and Mask Mode (black background on/off and transparent or solid display). The display mode may be changed to display the Time and User bits either Side-by-Side or Stacked, or to display Time or User Bits only. The brightness of the Characters and Background may be individually set via front-panel controls. The display may be turned on/off via a front-panel control. An optional RS-232 interface & Windows® Control Panel software may be ordered, which allow remote control of the display modes. The unit will read bi-directionally from 1/30 to 30x play speed (dependent upon the audio/timecode performance of the video player).
