5.5.4 VANC Markers Menu
VANC markers are data packets that may be used to mark the beginning and end of any
data service packet encoded in the VANC of HD-SDI video. VANC markers help
downstream equipment identify the beginning and end of service packets. SMPTE
specification 291 encourages equipment designers to include this feature in new equipment.
5.6.1 XDS Rating Setup Menu (VCHIP)
This menu allows you to encode VCHIP data as part of the XDS service. VCHIP data is
used to set guidelines for the viewing of television programming or movies, whose ratings
are determined by the U.S. TV Parental Guidelines rating system. HDE-3000 also supports
the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) ratings as well as the Canadian English
and Canadian French guidelines. When VCHIP mode is enabled, HDE-3000 continuously
sends the selected rating at the repetition rate recommended by EIA-608. For more
information on VCHIP, please refer to EIA document EIA-744-A or EIA/CEA-608B.
