Abstract
A video recording and reproducing system provides an operator with the ability to view the status of all operating conditions of a system at one time. When it is desired to view the status, an operator generates a request for a display mode. In this mode, all of the operating conditions are displayed on the television signal monitor in place of normal television signal image information. Information regarding the status of each condition is presented to a character generator, which causes the appropriate status to be placed next to each condition listed on the monitor. All of the information relating to the configuration of the system is thereby provided to an operator at once, and can be viewed not only at the location of the system itself, but also at any remotely located monitors, such as those found in a control booth.
