used by Camera Control Software and 3rd party software: customers typically use the Camera Control Software
to configure permanent OSD information (see chapter 4.3.8.1). Once this is completed, EMC software sends
only MX:TIME and MX:DATE (see table 5-6) to update time and date.
5.4.1 Description of Commands
Tables 5-6 and 5-7 show permanent OSD commands in order to display text, time, and date.
Table 5-8 shows permanent OSD commands in order to display battery status.
Whether a command is supported by a receiver, depends on its receiver type and firmware version. This
dependency is described in table 5-9.
