Video Insertion Generator, Model 9980, Provides for the insertion of alphanumeric messages, alarms and IRIG time into a standard RS-170 or NTSC video signal. Annotation, positioning of the IRIG time message and selection and positioning of the alarm messages can be done via the detachable keyboard and/or the serial RS-232 port. The IRIG time may also be transmitted over the serial port upon command from the keyboard or the serial port. Seven discrete control inputs are used to enable the alarm messages with either a TTL level or a contact closure. The 9980 is housed in a 19 inch wide, 3 1/2 inch high 15 inch deep, rack mountable aluminum cabinet and is powered by 115 VAC, 50/60 Hz line. (230 VAC optional)

Model 9980A - As above except operates with RS-343, 875 line video.

Model 9980P - As above except operates with PAL/CCIR video.

Video Insertion Generator, Model 6028, A programmable Video Insertion Generator designed to be user configurable to meet a wide range of applications. Major features include:

• Four different character sizes, programmable on a line by line basis.
• Up to 30 rows of 80 characters each.
• Reverse video (highlight) on a character by character basis.
• Sixteen user programmable alarm messages.
• Fixed (Boresight) crosshair.
• Movable Crosshair, controlled by panel mounted joystick or via input ports.
• IRIG time, positionable anywhere in the display on a character by character basis.

The 6028 features non-volatile memory and can store up to four display set ups, any one of which can be selected to be active at turn on. You can talk and listen to the 6028 through a variety of methods including:

Detachable Keyboard, IEEE port (GPIB), RS 232 port, Serial IRIG B input, Sixteen parallel BCD or HEX ports (up to 96 optional), Sixteen discrete alarm inputs and Front panel LCD display (displays IRIG time or crosshair coordinates, switch selectable). All ports are active simultaneously. The 6028 has three modes of video insertion:

Variable, A front panel control varies the inserted video from full black to full white.
Auto Contrast, Inserted video is black or white depending upon background video.
Relative,Inserted video maintains constant contrast with background video.

The 6028 is housed in a 19 inch rack mountable cabinet, 3 1/2 inches high and 15 inches deep. It weighs less than 10 lbs. and draws less than 10 watts with all options installed.

Note: This unit does not have a direct replacement.

Multi-channel IRIG Inserter, Model 6055B-2, Provides for the insertion of alphanumeric messages, IRIG time and edge encoded data into two, asynchronous, RS-170, NTSC or S-Video signals. Major features include:

• Decodes and inserts IRIG time into ten asynchronous video signals.
• Generates and inserts up to 22 lines of 30 alphanumeric characters each into each video channel.
• Two fonts, selectable by front panel switch, keyboard or via RS232 port.
• Provides 16 discrete event/alarms, 8 per channel.
• Independent insertion of machine-readable digital information using left edge encoding method on each video channel.
• Built in countdown clock synchronized with applied IRIG B time signal.
• RS-232 port, provides means for remote annotation of display.
• Edge encoding on all channels available as an option.
• Non-Volatile memory, setup configuration not lost at power down
• Detachable keyboard, provides means for the operator to annotate and format the video display locally.
• Accepts RS-170, NTSC or S-Video. PAL version available, Model 6055B-2P.

Annotation, positioning of the IRIG time message and positioning of the alarm messages can be done via the keyboard and/or the RS-232 port. The IRIG time may also be transmitted over the RS-232 port upon command from the keyboard or the RS-232 port. Twenty discrete control inputs, two per channel, are used to enable the alarm messages with either a TTL level or a contact closure. A loss of IRIG B input causes the 6055B to automatically switch to an internal real time clock. If it is desired to operate the unit without IRIG input this clock may be set by either the keyboard or via the RS-232 port.

The 6055B-2 has two modes of insertion, constant contrast and white with black border, independently selectable for each channel via front panel switches. The overlay intensity is controlled by front panel controls. 

The Data Encode function encodes the time and selected text, independently into each video channel using the "Left Edge" encode method. Data may be read by the ITS models  6042 or 6142A Decoders or other decoders conforming to the RCC Document 452-86 Section 7, specification.

The unit includes an IRIG synchronized countdown clock.  The countdown clock is set by the keyboard or RS-232 inputs.  Enable (start) and load (preset) are controlled by TTL or contact closure inputs.

The 6055B-2 is housed in a 19 inch wide, 3 1/2 inch high, 15 inch deep, ruggedized rack mountable sheet metal cabinet and is powered by 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 400 Hz line.

Note:  This unit has been replaced by the Model 6055B-2A

Time Code Display, Model 6075, Two function unit that decodes and displays the NASA 36 or IRIG B Serial Time Code and also performs a counter function. Major functions include:

• Decodes NASA 36 or IRIG B Serial time code, selectable.
• Nine digit time display, 2.3 inch high LED characters.
• Three Character alphanumeric ID display
• Both parallel and serial control inputs
• Battery backed up internal crystal controlled clock, maintains timing in the event of a loss of time code input or power failure.
• Non-volatile memory, retains set-up in the event of power failure.

The unit displays the time or alternatively the counter state as selected either locally or remotely. Additionally a three character alphanumeric message, which may be entered via serial or parallel port, is displayed. Once A/N message is input it remains in non-volatile memory. Two A/N messages may be stored in the 6075, one is displayed in the time mode and the other in the counter mode.

When set to the counter mode the 6075 displays the state of an internal counter. The counter is always active regardless of the display mode selected. The counter increments or decrements a preset time display as commanded by the operator. The count reference is derived from the applied serial time signal or the internal clock in the absence of the time signal. When the 6075 is running on the internal clock, the displayed colons flash at a one hertz rate to alert the operator.

The unit is housed in a 29" wide, 5" high and 6" deep aluminum enclosure and is powered by 115 VAC 50/60 Hz.

Note: This unit does not have a direct replacement.

Time Code Display, Model 6075A, Same as 6075 except does not include the three character alphanumeric display. The 6075A has an additional feature which provides a programmable offset of the time display. This allows for the display of different time zones on multiple units operating on the same time code input.

The elimination of the A/N display reduces the size of the 6075A to a 21.5 inch wide, 5 inch high and 6 inch deep aluminum enclosure. It is powered by 115 VAC 50/60 Hz.

Note:  This unit has been replaced by the Model 6075B
