HDE-3000 - 100 -
Enhancement: HD Ancillary Time Code Support.
Support was added for ATC (ancillary time code) as per SMPTE 12M-2-2008 (DID =
60h, SDID = 60h). NOTE: HD ONLY. The current implementation can only read ATC in HD
video. It cannot read ATC in SD video. A new menu was added to select the time code input
(LTC or ATC).
Refinement: Cheetah Caption Files.
A minor problem was corrected that was sometimes causing caption position mistakes in
the second language for multiple language Cheetah .CAP files.
Enhancement: Real Time Caption Correction.
This support was added for the Prime Image Time Taylor HD. The Time Taylor is used
to shorten video programs by selectively removing frames of video until the length of the
program is reduced by the desired amount. But since the act of removing video frames also
removes caption data, the captions must be “bridged” around the Time Taylor using two
HDE3000 units.
Version 1.33
Enhancement: Com Port Cascading for HDE3000 DUAL.
This feature allows both encoders in a dual to be driven by one com port so that two
video feeds can be encoded with the same captions simultaneously.
Enhancement: SD VANC Encoding/Decoding.
This new feature allows the encoding/decoding of VANC captions for SD. Line 21
captions are always encoded in SD, and when enabled, VANC captions are also encoded
simultaneously.
Version 1.34
Enhancement: HDE3000 Dual - Real Time Caption Correction.
The HDE3000 Dual software has been enhanced to facilitate this using one dual unit
instead of two single units.
Refinement: dual units intermittent “memory errors” and lockups.
There was an overflow problem with the event queues that was sometimes causing
intermittent memory errors and lockups on HDE3000 dual units with the most recent
motherboards. This problem has been corrected in this version.
Refinement: problem with 608 monitor when encoding SD VANC.
A mistake was corrected that under certain conditions was causing garbled captions in
the 608 caption monitor display window on the VGA screen.
Refinement: V1.33 not encoding CC into HD progressive video.
A problem has been corrected that was accidentally introduced when SD VANC
encoding was implemented in V1.33. The bug caused the HDE3000 to not encode VANC
packets into HD progressive video (1080P and 720P) when F2 is set to “disabled” in the “HD
VANC Lines Setup” menu.
