HDE-3000 - 101 -
Refinement: “Encoding” LED not lit when encoding SD line 21.
The “Encoding” LED on the front panel was only illuminating when encoding VANC
packets (SD or HD). This has been corrected so that the LED also illuminates when encoding
line 21 into SD video.
Version 1.35
Enhancement: Adding just v-chip to HD video
This enhancement facilitates adding v-chip to HD video that already contains captions
(without disturbing the existing captions). The existing 608 captions, 708 captions, and service
descriptors are passed through, and the v-chip information is multiplexed in.
Enhancement: Correct service descriptors when encoding via serial
Previous versions of the HDE3000 software had difficulty encoding the correct caption
service descriptors when encoding captions via serial.
Enhancement: Multiplexing 708 caption data and service descriptors
This enhancement allows the HDE3000 to properly multiplex additional 708 captions and
service descriptors into video that already contains existing 708 captions and service
descriptors.
Enhancement: Caption service descriptor encoding update
To comply with the latest specifications, the HDE3000 now encodes only one caption
service descriptor for any/all encoded 608 services.
Enhancement: Improved control of the 608 to 708 transcoders
There are now two menus (one for each transcoder), and the new menus allow you to
configure the transcoders differently for encoding caption files and encoding via serial.
Enhancement: New menu layout
The menus have been reorganized into groups, and a new “main” menu has been
added. All of the menus functions the same as before, but the navigation of the menus has
changed.
Enhancement: Upgrade software using USB drive
The software updating function (via the “perform software upgrade” menu) has been
enhanced to find software updates on either floppy disk or USB drives. It will automatically
search the floppy drive and any connected USB drives for the software update.
Enhancement: Network API dual encoder and transitions support
The network API was enhanced to allow the Link Logo Player software to access the
second encoder in a dual unit and to perform fade transitions.
Enhancement: Real time caption correction, second language
Real time caption correction is for the Prime Image Time Taylor HD.
Refinement: Sometimes transcoded italic captions are not white.
There was a bug in the transcoders that sometimes didn’t properly set the 708 text color
to white when transcoding the 608 “white-italics” mid row codes. This problem has been
corrected in this version.
