6.5.- On Screen Display
The headend controlling device provides an
output RF channel where useful information
can be stored from the installation headend.
In this channel, it is also possible to include
an audio signal via the OSD audio connec-
tor.
Figre 23 shows the window of the headend
controlling device, where it is possible to
see, at the top, the different options to confi-
gure the CDC parameters.
Management.- This shows information on the
software, on the monitoring of the CDC and on
the scanning processes of the modules.
Configuration.- This lets the user configure
the RF channel and the modulator parame-
ters. These parameters are the same ones as
those that can be programmed using the
programmer 7234 (see section 5.1)
OSD.- Editing the on screen information.
Advanced.- Address management of the
CDC module, configuration of the GSM
modem and changing the password.
To present information in an RF channel, the
headend controlling device has an OSD
subsystem and a modulator which can show
up to 8 data screens in a selectable channel.
When it is not connected to the program,
the control module carries out periodic
scans to check that the devices and working
correctly and to detect any changes in the
headend status (detection of new elements,
devices with errors, changes in the configu-
ration). This data is shown on the first four
OSD screens. The other four screens are
available and are the only ones which can
be edited by the user. They are designed to
show information that the various owners of
the flats of the building want to share as well
as to show any information from the insta-
ller, or even for adverts, etc.
To access this submenu, select one of the
four pages that can be edited and that are
available and select the option "Edit scre-
en". Once the screen has been edited, the u
62
Headend Control - CDC
ser should select "Send screen" for it to be
loaded onto the CDC.
To make the OSD screens appear in the RF
channel generated by the CDC, it is neces-
sary to activate "Show information screens"
in "Management".
The changes carried out on the OSD scre-
ens are only updated when the remote ses-
sion is closed, and if it was a local mode
connection, when the cable has been
unplugged from the PC. The amount of time
that each screen will appear for is set by the
"Delay" option.
