Using the ESE HD - 488E is easy. First, connect it to your HD SDI video setup. You can use the USB setup interface to configure the settings. Select the HD format your video uses, and then choose what information you want to display on the video, like time, user bits, or text. When using the inserter mode, decide which window you want the information to appear in. For maintenance, keep the unit in a clean and dry environment. Check the power supply regularly to ensure it's within the 90 - 264 VAC range. If you choose the GPS option, make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky. Avoid using incompatible options like ordering ESE Time Code Input and IRIG input together. If you have any issues, refer to the user manual or contact customer support.
