5.7.1 Transcoder 1 Setup Menu
The transcoder 1 setup menu allows you to define the configuration of the primary
language transcoder (transcoder 1: 608 CC1 to 708 service 1). It allows you to set the
service descriptor language for Service 1. It also allows you to define three separate
configurations; one for caption file encoding, one for encoding via serial, and another for
when neither is being encoded. It also allows you to disable transcoder 1 when necessary.
“Language”: This will be the language that the service descriptor uses for Service 1. The
options are as follows; English (eng), Spanish (spa), French (fre), Portuguese (por),
German (ger), Danish (dan), Italian (ita), Finnish (fin), or Swedish (swe).
“Default”: This setting defines the configuration of transcoder 1 when not encoding a caption
file and not encoding via serial.
“OFF” = the transcoder is disabled and existing 708 service 1 captions are passed
through unaltered. This is necessary to allow adding vchip to HD video that has
already been captioned.
“CC1” = the transcoder is enabled and it will transcode received 608 CC1 captions to
708 service 1. This allows adding 708 service 1 captions to video that only contains
608 captions.
“for Caption Files”: This setting defines the configuration of transcoder 1 when a caption file
is being encoded.
“OFF” = the transcoder is disabled and existing 708 service 1 captions are passed
through unaltered.
“CC1” = the transcoder is enabled when CC1 captions are being encoded from a caption
file. This is the recommended setting for all caption file encoding scenarios.
“for Serial Commands”: This setting defines the configuration of transcoder 1 when captions
are being encoded via serial.
“OFF” = the transcoder is disabled and existing 708 service 1 captions are passed
through unaltered.
“CC1” = the transcoder is enabled when CC1 captions are being encoded via serial.
This is the recommended setting for all serial encoding scenarios.
The “status” section at the bottom of the menu indicates whether or not the transcoder is
enabled and which encoding function (caption file encoding or serial encoding) currently
controls the transcoder.
