cost-effective means of authoring and inserting the most
common VANC data into a SMPTE 259M or SMPTE 292M

VANC data to be created and stored within the card. Switches
(GPI/Os) can be used to control the VANC data that the card
inserts. The card automatically adapts to the video at its input
to produce the correct data at its output.

data types:
• Active Format Description (AFD) SMPTE 2016
