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.

VBI-232 DATA ENCODER
/ DECODER

Remote Equipment
Control via the Vertical Blanking Interval
The VBI-232 encoder and decoder will establish a reliable data
link between any two sites where a baseband video link exists. Outgoing
video is looped through the encoder at the transmission site. RS232 data
is fed from the CP-1, eight button control panel to the encoder. Each
button on the CP-1 may be jumpered for momentary or latching operation. A
GPI option is also available. The encoder converts the RS232 data into
biphase pulses, and inserts these pulses into a user selected, clean line in the
vertical blanking interval (line 12-21 for NTSC, line 9-22 for PAL).
At the receive site, the biphase pulses are transparently
extracted from looped through video at the decoder, and converted back to
RS232. This data is fed to the RL-1 relay board. Each of the eight
relays may be jumpered for N.O. or N.C. operation. These 2 amp relay
contacts are brought out to a rear panel connector, (or if housed in a Leitch DA
frame, they are brought out to individual BNC's). The VBI-232 decoder
board and RL-1 relay board pair are normally housed together in the BVS FR710,
one rack unit frame.
The encoder will also accept RS232 data at a 1200 baud rate (via
DB9 connector) directly from a PC, for applications where computer control is
required. This data is then available on a DB9 connector at the decoder.

VBI-232 Encoder/Decoder Price (plug-in
board): $1490.00 USD / FR710 Price: $625.00 USD
RL-1 Price: $690.00 USD / CP-1 Price: $440.00 USD / GPI Option for CP-1: $180.00

VBI-232D
SDI DATA ENCODER
/ DECODER
The VBI-232D is the SDI equivalent of the popular
VBI-232 analog data transmission system. A unique feature of
this new design is the ability of an SDI encoder to communicate
with an existing analog decoder, as well as an SDI decoder.
RS232 data from the CP-1, eight button control
panel is fed to the encoder. Each button on the CP-1 may be
jumpered for momentary or latching (push on/push off)
operation. A GPI option is also available. The encoder
converts the RS232 and embeds the appropriate data into a user
selectable line in the SDI bitstream. A card edge switch
allows data insertion from lines 12 through 20, plus line 22 for
525 line systems. Lines 13 through 21, plus line 23 are
available for 625 line systems.
At the receive site, the VBI-232D decoder extracts
the embedded data from the SDI signal, converts it back to RS232,
and feeds this data to the RL-1 relay board. Eight relays,
with 2 amp rated contacts, are brought out to a DB9 connector on
the rear panel. Each relay may be jumpered for N.O. or N.C.
operation. A clean SDI output, minus the embedded control
data, is provided from the decoder. As both the encoder and
decoder are in the transmission path, both units are equipped with
failsafe bypass relays.
In situations where the receive site is taking an
analog NTSC or PAL feed from an SDI originating point, our VBI-232
analog decoder and relay board will provide the same functions as
the SDI versions. In all installations our original CP-1,
eight button control panel is used. The VBI-232D decoder
board and the RL-1 relay board pair are normally housed together
in the BVS FR601 one rack unit frame, leaving one empty slot for
an additional card from the 601 card family.
This data control system is ideal for remote
control of servers for local ad insertion, control of remote
transmitters, or any situation where a hard contact closure,
operated from a remote location, is required.
