PDC-888 Closed Caption Decoder
High performance closed caption decoder (NTSC or PAL with automatic
detection), the PDC-888 can display captions for composite, component
and S-Video. Supports nine standard data channels: Caption channels
1 through 4 (CC1- CC4), Text modes 1 through 4 (T1 through T4), and
Extended Data Services (XDS). Operational modes are selectable from
four front panel switches. The component inputs accept RGB or YUV.
The caption data is keyed into all component channels.
All video inputs have AC power by-pass in case of a power failure.
Component video is internally terminated. A complementary differential
input amplifier assures high common mode rejection while its phase-
linear keyer cleanly inserts decoded characters into the video image.
Differential gain and phase are well within 0.1% and 0.1E respectively.

PDA-895 Closed Caption Encoder/Decoder
A CC Encoder/Decoder capable of inserting and decoding caption and
text data on NTSC, PAL, analog Y/C, RGB, YUV and SDI. Caption and Text
data may be inserted in either field of the Vertical Blanking Interval.
Data on the incoming video signal can be recovered from either field of
the VBI. The data may be displayed as Open Captions, using the
built-in
CC decoder, and captured by a computer’s serial data
port.
Encoding, Decoding, and Data Recovery may be done simultaneously.
CC decoder's functions may be controlled from the front panel while
the Encoder and Data Recovery functions are controlled via the serial
data port, on the SDI and analog composite and the open caption
outputs. Inputs and outputs are provided for, not only NTSC and PAL,
but also analog Y/C, RGB, YUV, and SDI. Power-loss feature bypasses
the analog and SDI when AC power to the PDA-895 fails.

ENC-896 Portable CC Encoder/Decoder
Capable of inserting and decoding caption and text data on NTSC, PAL,
Analog Y/C, RGB, YUV, and SDI. Caption and Text data may be inserted
in either field of the Vertical Blanking Interval. In addition, data on the
incoming video signal may be recovered from either field of the VBI.
This incoming data may be displayed as Open Captions, using the
built-in Closed Caption Decoder, and captured by a computer utilizing
it’s serial data port. Encoding, Decoding, and Data Recovery may be
done simultaneously. The Closed Caption Decoder’s functions may be
controlled from the front panel while the Encoder and Data Recovery
functions are controlled via the serial data port, on the SDI and analog
composite and the open caption outputs. Inputs and outputs include
composite (NTSC/PAL) analog Y/C, RGB, YUV, and SDI.

PTC-892 Closed Caption Encoder/Decoder
Like the PDA-895 and ENC-896, the PTC-892 is capable of inserting and
decoding caption and text data for NTSC, PAL Composite, Y/C, RGB,
YUV, and SDI. Caption and Text data may be inserted in either field of
the VBI. In addition, data on the incoming video signal may be recov-
ered from either field of the VBI. This incoming data may be displayed
as Open Captions and captured by a computer. Encoding, Decoding,
and Data Recovery may be done simultaneously. Inputs and outputs
are provided for, not only NTSC and PAL, but also Analog Y/C, RGB,
YUV, and SDI. The power-loss feature by-passes the analog and SDI
when AC power fails. The PTC-892 has SMPTE LTC input for precise
cation timing with the video. A front panel Vacuum Fluorescent Dis-
play, VFD, shows various functions. A rotary optical encoder provides
an easy selection of the various operating set-up functions.

PDA-895, ENC-896 and PTC-892 All Feature
A weather-lift feature moves the captioning up 1to 3 lines whenever a contact-closure is detected on its GPI input. For remote captioning
applications, a second serial port is available as a modem input. Both serial ports may be configured for RS-232 or RS- 422 I/O. DIP
switches are provided to select the baud rates (1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600 bps). Modem speeds are 1200 or 2400 baud. The modem
takes priority over the serial port, and when the modem hangs up, the PDA-895, ENC-896 and PTC-892 are restored to the last mode left
by the modem. Front panel LEDs show the unit status and the presence of serial data. A pair of front panel push-buttons allow the user
to run an encoded test message or to place the unit in by-pass mode. They all Incorporate V-Chip technology. The PDA-895, ENC-896
and PTC-892 handle the automatic repetition of the “V-Chip” data and can interleave it with existing Line 21 Closed Caption data.
