Advanced configuration of the HD1492 can be set through the RS-232 serial ports labeled P1 and P2. The settings for these ports default to 1200 baud, 7 data bits, odd parity, and one stop bit. The HD1492 uses the EEG Smart Encoder command set. Encoder commands are recog- nized by a leading control code of <CTRL+A>, also represented by the... -
Page 22: Local Entry Modes
HD1492 HD Encoder Frame Card To send the encoder commands through the serial input ports, connect a standard 9-pin straight cable between your PC’s serial port and one of the DB9 connectors marked P1 or P2. You can now send commands to the encoder, from your PC, using a communications application such as HyperTerminal, which is bundled with most versions of Windows. -
Page 23: Regeneration Mode
HD1492 HD Encoder Frame Card for secondary language captioning. When 608 data is up-converted to create 708 data, CC1 data is assigned to Service 1, and CC3 data is assigned to Service 2. Text and XDS data is preserved in 608 down- compatibility bytes, but is not up-converted. - Page 24 The HD1492 Encoder will automatically create all necessary control and formatting codes. When RealTime mode is ended, the channel will re- turn to upstream Regeneration.

Page 25: Xds Insertion
HD1492 HD Encoder Frame Card The input text may be formatted to fit on 32 character lines by sending a carriage return at word boundaries approaching the 32 character limit. If sufficient data to fill a line is not available within a reasonable amount of time, a carriage return should be sent to ensure timeliness for the queued data. - Page 26 HD1492 HD Encoder Frame Card automatically whenever the Encoder is operating. Packets are inserted into output video signals using EEG’s proprietary Stochastic Scheduling Algorithm. The Stochastic Scheduling Algorithm is a finely tuned solution to the Field 2 bandwidth limitations that cause difficulties in XDS packet transmission.
- Page 27 HD1492 HD Encoder Frame Card Load XDS Packet: <CTRL+A>P Packet Duration Content [Priority] <ENTER> Creates an XDS packet and loads it into the XDS queue. The Encoder will begin inserting the packet immediately. Packet Packet sets the XDS Class and Type of the packet that will be created.
- Page 28 HD1492 HD Encoder Frame Card Duration Duration sets the transmission duration of the newly created packet. When a packet’s duration period ex- pires, it will be deleted from the XDS queue. A dura- tion setting of -1 will cause the packet to be inserted until it is deleted by a future command.

The EEG iCap™system is a real-time IP-based captioning system de- signed exclusively for use with the EEG Smart Encoder platform. With iCap™, the HD1492 Encoder and a single LAN connection replace both an older encoder used with a dial-up modem line, and an external audio coupler with an additional phone line, while improving system security, quality of service, logging, and monitoring. - Page 32 Refer to the iCap™ manual in the ‘Manuals’ section on the HD1492 con- figuration page for complete details about getting started with iCap™.
