5.2.1 CC Monitor Setup Menu
The monitor menu lets you determine which captioning services to monitor from the VGA
monitor or remote software, it will not show up in the video. For 608 captions you can choose
CC1-CC4 or XDS. For 708 captions you can choose S1-S2. 16 second timer automatically
erases the VGA captions after 16 seconds of inactivity.
5.2.2 Open Cap Decoder Setup Menu
An “open caption decoder” is a device that decodes closed captions and overlays (or
“burns”) the caption characters into the video. This feature is used by post houses to create
“open caption demo tapes” for their customers to inspect. This menu allows the user to control
the open caption decoder for SD and for HD video. When SD video is fed to the HDE-3000, the
top setting is used to control the open caption decoder. When HD video is fed to the HDE-3000,
the bottom setting is used to control the open caption decoder. For SD video your options are
CC1 – CC4 and for HD you options are CC1 – CC4 or S1 – S2. 16 second timer automatically
erases the open caption decoder display after 16 seconds of inactivity.
WARNING! When you are not creating an open caption demo tape, set the open
caption decoder to “OFF” to prevent the HDE-3000 from overlaying open captions into your
video when you are encoding closed captions.
