DCB-21 SDI CLOSED CAPTIONING POSITIONER / BRIDGE

Prevent captions from blocking emergency warnings.

As per FCC ruling 47CFR79.2, "emergency information should not block any closed captioning, and any closed captioning should not block any emergency information" (click here to open FCC ruling in a separate window).  The DCB-21 will vertically re-position previously encoded SDI closed captioning during local road/weather warnings or EAS crawls.  Two GPI's, plus on-board jumpers, provide a choice of five upper and five lower screen positions.  The DCB-21 may also bridge both odd and even fields of line 21 around video processing equipment that disrupts this line.  (The odd field of line 21 contains CC data, while the even field contains V-chip and Extended Data Services.)  This bridging mode may be activated separately or simultaneously with the re-positioning, via a third GPI.  A unique feature of the DCB-21 is the ability to successfully bridge CC data from one NTSC video source to another, without the two sources being synchronous or timed with each other.  Embedded audio is passed through in all modes.  Re-position and bridge functions are initiated by latching GPI's.  A power failure bypass relay is provided to ensure failsafe operation.  The DCB-21 occupies one of three slots in the FR601, 1RU frame.  An optional redundant power supply is available.  Click here to see functional drawings showing re-positioning & bridging using the DCB-21

DCB-21 Price (plug-in board): $2225.00 USD / FR601 Price: $625.00
Optional redundant power supply for FR601: $335.00 USD
