HDE-3000 - 103 -
Version 1.40
Minor change:
This change is required to support the latest build of encoder cards, and it is compatible
will all previous builds of encoder cards.
Version 1.41
Minor change:
This change is required to support the latest build of encoder cards, and it is compatible
will all previous builds of encoder cards.
NOTE: To swap out old encoder cards with new encoder cards the HDE-
3000 should be updated to this version.
Version 1.42
Enhancement: Added SMPTE333 Support
SMPTE333 is a serial communications protocol for transmitting caption data from a
“caption server” to an MPEG emission encoder. A new “CAPTION SERVER” function was
added to the “COM Setup Menus” (menus 1.2 and 1.3). NOTE! The required baud rate and
format for SMPTE333 is 38400 baud
and 8-none-1.
Version 1.43
Experimental version not released
Version 1.44
Enhancement: Added “Grand Alliance” Protocol Support
The “Grand Alliance” protocol (SMPTE RP 2007) is a serial communications protocol for
transmitting caption data from a “caption server” to an MPEG emission encoder. This protocol is
sometime referred to as “the old 19200 protocol” or “the push protocol”.
Enhancement: Corrected SMPTE333 Timing Error
A timing problem was corrected in the HDE3000 software that was causing intermittent
delays in its SMPTE333 serial transmissions. This was causing intermittent serial
communication problems between the HDE3000 and the MPEG emission encoders.
Version 1.45
Enhancement: Corrected Subtitle Issue in 1080PsF24/23.98
A bug was corrected that was cutting off the right edge of subtitles placed at the
rightmost edge of the screen in 1080 progressive segmented frame 24/23.98 fps.
