vFlex Multi-purpose HD Video Data Inserter (formerly mfg’d by Softel)
vFlex is a multi-purpose ancillary data processor that can insert a range of video data in the
transport stream.
Presented as a single-unit to save rack space, vFlex performs a large variety of data processing
including, ancillary data encoding and decoding, opt cuing, ad insertion, wide screen
signaling as well as graphic insertion for all HD and SD environments.
The plug-in supports several alarms some of which are informational, holding device
information. Only one alarm is both a true alarm and consistently present in all variations of
this plug-in’s runtime: the
Device Communication alarm (in the Health Monitoring sub-
folder). The remaining alarms belong to individual modules.
Certain parameters may be passed to the plug-in, as follows:
