Page 5: Introduction
Supported caption bridging capabilities are: HD to HD, HD to SD, SD to SD, and SD to HD. The CB515 can tolerate video inputs that are not in sync. The CB515 is also a relocating HD caption bridge which can bridge caption data between video sources in a wide variety of HD video formats, including 1080i, 720p, 24/23.98p, and 24/23.98psf, and relocate HD caption displays. -

The front panel has the following elements: Power LEDs Each LED corresponds to one of the two power supplies the CB515 can be equipped with; note that the second supply is a paid option. Green indicates that the given power supply is active, and red indicates that it is inactive. - Page 7 CB515 HD Caption Legalizer / Relocating Bridge Front Panel LCD When none of the control panel buttons have been pressed in the last 30 seconds, the front panel LCD display is divided into sections as shown below: Master Video Standard...

Master video input. Accepts SMPTE 259M SD-SDI or SMPTE 292M HD- SDI. Connect the CB515 to your local network to access web-based configuration and status monitoring, using the IP address configured through the LCD menu. IDC-16 connector with 8 independent GPI input switches. See appendix for GPI pin outs and configuration. -

Press the CANCEL key from any menu screen to return to the top of the menu hierarchy. In the CB515, when the front panel menu is inactive, the display will revert to the status screen, described in the previous section. Press any key on the Control Pad to return to the top-level menu from the status screen. - Page 10 When the update utility is finished, the new firmware has been installed. Some updates will require a power-cycle before they take effect. Updates can also be applied over your LAN on the CB515 Web Configuration page. Copyright © 2009-2014, EEG Enterprises, Inc.

Page 11: Web Configuration
To use Web Configuration, first connect the Ethernet connector on the rear panel of the CB515 to your local network. Then, use the front panel LCD and button pad to give the Legalizer a valid IP address and subnet mask for your network by navigating to System Setup | Network Setup | IP Address and System Setup | Network Setup | Subnet Mask. - Page 12 NTP; for the latter, you can enter and save up to three NTP server addresses. Note that the CB515 will maintain an accurate system time even when the unit is powered off, as it is equipped with an internal battery to power its clock.

To hide the history window, click on the ‘Hide History’ button located between the active web terminal and the open history window.

AUX on the rear panel. The settings for this port are 1200 baud, 7 data bits, odd parity, and one stop bit. The CB515 uses a subset of the EEG Smart Encoder command set. Encoder commands are recognized by a leading control code of <CTRL+A>, also represented by the ASCII hex code 01. -
Page 15: Caption Port Serial Output Modes
HD-SDI video outputs. 333 Serial Output In 333 serial output, the CB515 sends its 708 caption output to a serial output queue for transport to an ATSC encoder supporting SMPTE 333M protocol. 333 is a “pull” protocol; the ATSC encoder sends synchronization requests (SYNs) to the Legalizer, which then sends the requested data bytes out through the serial port. -

(19200 Baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and one stop bit). Each time the CB515 is power cycled, it will return to its default mode of writing caption output to HD VANC. If GA serial output is always desired, the GA output initialization command should be stored in Startup Settings to reduce setup time. - Page 17 CEA-608 standard for SD broadcasts, and should be included in the 608 compatibility bytes of CEA-708 compliant HD broadcasts. The CB515 Legalizer includes all of the XDS functionality of the broadcast industry’s leading XDS solution, the HD490 Smart Encoder. XDS data packets can be loaded into the Legalizer’s queue with one simple command, and be...

The GPIO pins are located on the two 16-pin connectors on the rear panel of the CB515. The top connector is used for the GPI switches and the bottom is used for the GPO switches, with the pins numbered in the following manner on... - Page 24 CB515 HD Caption Legalizer / Relocating Bridge GPO Pin Assignments The GPOs use the lower 16-pin connector, which mates to a female IDC-16 connector. The pin assignments are given in the table below: Pins Output 9,10 11,12 13,14 15,16 GPI Switch Functions Each GPI Switch is activated when closed (connected to ground), and inactive when open (left floating).
- Page 25 Each GPO consists of a pair of pins, forming a switch that is CLOSED when the output is ON, and OPEN when the output is OFF. The GPOs on the CB515 do not currently have any behavior defined and are reserved for future use.
