The HORITA KCT-50 is a stand alone video character generator that works with a standard PS2- type PC keyboard to add titles and captions to your SD NTSC RS-170A/PAL 625/50 analog composite video. The KCT-50 can add up to nine lines of 20 characters each, and the best part is no PC or PC software is required! In addition, the KCT-50 also includes a battery backed up clock/calendar which can overlay your video with a variety of formats of time and date displays to accompany the text.
Because the KCT-50 has its own built-in text editor that performs the common typing operations of insert, delete, backspace, home, end, etc., you can quickly add source ID information, title or caption experiments, identify security locations, and perform similar titling/captioning tasks.
Up to 25 KCT-50s can be connected together and addressed and controlled from a single PC keyboard*. The KCT-50 can also be controlled from front panel switches. Each KCT-50 maintains 2 separate setup and display screens which can be selected via the keyboard.
