[Cin] Revision Proxy section on Manual

[Phyllis Smith]

IgorB, I made the 3 changes and checked into GIT.
1) removed youtube reference and just left if to do workaround with
Inkscape instead of using Title.
2) removed the word "scaled" which was in the color blue
3) corrected ETA to be "Estimated Time of Arrival (completion)
