The ES-206U is a "stand-alone" Video Time/Date Generator & Inserter which superimposes Time and Date information onto a looped-thru video signal. The unit generates six digits of date (Month, Day & Year) and six digits of time (Hour, Minute & Second). With the ease of on-screen programming setting the ES-206U is a snap. Controls include Time & Date set and Size, Position & Brightness set. The unit also has several styles of background masks which include, solid characters on video, translucent characters on video or translucent characters on a translucent grey mask. A display setting mode allows the user to view the time and date side by side, stacked, time blanked or date blanked. An optional RS-232 Interface Windows Control Panel Software may be ordered, which allows remote control of the display modes. Other features include 12 or 24 hour selection and daylight savings time mode.
