The Ancillary Data menu provides access to Closed Caption, Timecode and Video Index features.
Closed Caption Menu
The Closed Caption menu lets you configure closed captions for CEA-608B and CEA-708B standards.
CEA-608B is the closed captioning reference standard for SD NTSC analog and SD-SDI. Captions are
encoded on line 21 of the vertical blanking interval. CEA-708B is the standard for HD-SDI, typically
encoding captions on line 9.
The Teranex Processor automatically detects digital captions in both SD and HD video formats. If digital
captions are not present in an SD signal, the processor will look for analog captions on line 21. If the
program has captions on line 21 but you’re not seeing them, set the Analog In Line menu to look for
captions on lines 20 or 22.
Closed caption processing also supports up conversion of 608 CC2 and CC3 secondary language services
to 708 Service 2 (S2) via the Service 2 Source menu.
The Closed Captioning menu offers the following selections and adjustments:
 CC Enable – Turns Closed Captions ON or OFF in the output video.
 Analog In Line – Allows you to select the Analog Closed Caption Input Line.
 Analog Out Line – Allows you to select the Analog Closed Caption Output Line.
 Service 2 Source – Allows you to select between CC2 and CC3 as the Closed Caption Service
2 Source.
 Service 1 Language – Allows you to select the language used for Service 1.
 Service 2 Language – Allows you to select the language used for Service 2.
CC Enable
CC Enable is OFF by default. To enable closed captioning, go to Main Menu>Ancillary Data>Closed
Caption>CC Enable and select ON using the soft menu buttons or rotary knob.
Disabling captions may be helpful if the incoming closed caption data is incorrect or corrupt.
The CC status LED on the front panel is tied to the IN or OUT selection. When IN is selected, the CC
status LED will illuminate when closed captioning is detected in the input video. When OUT is selected,
the CC status LED will illuminate when closed captioning data is present in the output video.
