6.5 HIDING DISPLAYED TEXT
The displayed monitor text is used to identify the selected camera, present current
time/date and other prompt messages. Sometimes, it is required that the displayed text
be turned-off (or hidden) allowing the total picture area to be viewed.
To hide the displayed text, the following must first be true.
• You must currently have a monitor selected
Press the
key to remove the text from the monitor. You can manually control
the selected PTZ camera as required. The text will remain hidden.
By selecting another camera, moving to another monitor or pressing the
key
again, the text display will be restored.
If the monitor supports SMARTEXT a played-back recording (from a VCR) can have it's
concealed text information revealed.
6.6 REVEALING SMARTEXT
On some video systems, it is necessary to record a camera with its identification and
time/date text information remains concealed, so the maximum recorded picture area is
maintained.
SMARTEXT is used to encode the text information (as data) into the recorded video
signal without affecting the displayed picture. During playback, the operator has the
choice to either reveal or hide the encoded text information.
For SMARTEXT playback, the following must first be true.
• You must currently be selecting a monitor that supports SMARTEXT decoding.
• You must be playing-back a recording which was encoded with SMARTEXT
information.
The function of the
key is then extended to include SMARTEXT decoding.
• The FIRST time the key is pressed the normal monitor text display is hidden. This is
the same as before.
• The SECOND time the key is pressed the encoded SMARTEXT information (in the
video signal) will be revealed and displayed on the monitor.
• The THIRD time the key is pressed the normal monitor text display will be restored
and the SMARTEXT information will be concealed.
