Selecting The Upstream Caption Source; Inserting "V-Chip" Ratings Locally - evertz 8083XDS-AD Instruction Manual

)UPSTREAM SOURCE
Source digital
Source analog
OPERATION
Select Bypass=on to configure the encoder to be bypassed.
When the video is bypassed, no video will be routed through the video
processing circuitry. Consequently the COMPOSITE DECODER, SDI
PREVIEW and ANALOG PREVIEW outputs will not be active.

Selecting the Upstream Caption Source

UPSTREAM SOURCE selects whether the 8083XDS-AD will read
upstream data from either the composite analog or component
SDI video input. The unit also synchronizes internal timing to
whichever upstream source is selected, so it is important to
always set this menu item correctly.
Select Source digital to extract XDS data from SDI video.
Select Source analog to extract XDS data from analog video.
If there is only one video source (digital or analog) entering the 8083XDS-AD,
the UPSTREAM SOURCE must be set to that video source for the device to
work properly.
3.2.5

Inserting "V-Chip" Ratings Locally

The operator may specify a "V-Chip" XDS program rating packet from the
front panel menu system. The encoder may be configured to insert a
specified program rating locally, without any computer connection. The
operator may also enable a timer to detect a loss of upstream program
rating packets, and configure the unit to insert a "default rating" on timeout.
All four rating systems presently defined are supported.
The United States T.V. Parental Guidelines (US-TV) system also defines four
flags (V,L,S and D) to further categorize the program content. These are not
supported, and are locked in the OFF setting.
Two menu items available from the front panel menu system allow the
operator to configure a local V-Chip program rating (code) and the local V-
Chip insertion timer.
