    AC power input, 120 – 240 V, 50-60 Hz tolerant. Connect to the unit’s AC power source. Master Video In Input for program video source. HD490 can use HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M) or SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M). Master Video Out Relay-bypass protected primary video output.
  • Page 7 HD490 Smart Encoder Serial Ports 490 Encoders have two serial data ports. For HD490, port 1 is a 708 caption data output port to be connected to an ATSC encoder captioning port (see page 22) and port 2 is an RS232/RS422 port for caption data input.

  • Page 8: Encoder Operation

    Press the CANCEL key from any menu screen to return to the top of the menu hierarchy. In the HD490, when the front panel menu is inactive, the display will revert to a status screen. The top line shows the availability and format of the video signals at the Master and Aux Video Inputs in the left and right corners, respectively.
  • Page 9 Encoder will power down automatically once the update is complete. In HD490 versions 2.3.8 and up, updates can also be applied over your LAN on the HD490 Web Configuration page.

  • Page 18: Local Caption Entry

    HD490 Web Terminal Data Port Settings The serial data input ports (labeled ‘P2’ only for HD490) are factory configured to use the RS232 protocol at 1200 baud, 7 data bits, and Odd parity. To change these settings, see page 37. The dial-up modem is set to operate at 2400 baud, but will also operate at 1200 baud without explicit reconfiguration.
  • Page 19 HD490 Smart Encoder In HD490 Versions 1.19 and above, you can use the Web Terminal interchangeably with the serial port interface. Instead of entering <CTRL+A> at the beginning of commands, use ‘@’. In this manual, Encoder commands will be distinguished from other text by use of a bold font.

  • Page 23: Hd Output Types

    HD490 Smart Encoder HD Output Types The HD490 is capable of outputting HD caption data in three different ways. HD VANC Insertion implements SMPTE 334M-style encoding of the caption data on to the output video signal. HD Serial Output puts the caption data out onto P1 instead, for connection directly into an ATSC encoder.
  • Page 24 (19200 Baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and one stop bit). Note that, each time the HD490 is power cycled, the default startup behavior is to return to the HD VANC Insertion mode. If a SMPTE 333M ATSC encoder is connected to P1, 333 serial output will begin as soon as SYNs are received.
  • Page 25 GA output will automatically begin each time the Encoder is power cycled. When either serial output mode is active, no VANC caption data will appear on the HD video output. Copyright © 2000-2012 EEG Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
