HDE-3000 - 95 -
Appendix E. Upgrade Release Notes
Version 1.20
New Feature: field 1 synchronization for subtitling.
A new menu was added to the DV3000 software: This menu allows the user to
enable/disable the new field 1 synchronization feature. When enabled, the HDE3000 detects
when a subtitling event is about to occur during field 2 and delays the event until field 1. The
reason for this feature is to prevent any subtitle events from occurring during field 2 because
this can cause problems for down converters with the progressive segmented frame video
formats.
New Feature: support for CC2 Spanish transcoding
A new menu was added to the DV3000 software: This menu allows the user to select
which EIA-608 service to transcode to EIA-708 service 2. Typically, Spanish captions are
encoded in the EIA-608 CC3 service (in field 2), but sometimes they are encoded in the EIA-608
CC2 service. This menu allows you to tell the HDE3000 whether the Spanish captions are in
CC2 or CC3.
Enhancement: improved time code frame rate controls
The current time code frame rate has always been displayed in the lower right corner of
all the menus. The functionality of this indicator was improved. It now more accurately displays
the current time code frame rate (determined by the input video frame rate and the settings of
the “time code override” menu). The “time code override” menu was also improved to include
29.97 as a valid override value. In addition, all time code calculations in the HDE3000 software
were updated with new high accuracy calculations (especially improved for drop frame time
code calculations).
Enhancement: support for EIA-608 data redirection completed
This enhancement allows the HDE3000 to redirect upstream EIA-608 data (decoded
from the VANC caption packets) out its serial ports or out through its network API. This
facilitates caption data capturing and bridging.
