OVERVIEW
The 8950-SID is a dual-purpose Source ID decoder that reads either
source ID information encoded into vertical interval timecode, source ID
encoded by the PESA source ID encoder system or Neilson Source ID
codes encoded on line 20. The 8950-SID decodes these signals directly
from the digital bitstream. The model 8950-SID VITC reader's line range
can be easily programmed from the front panel, thus permitting recovery of
VITC source ID data where it is encoded along with other VITC data.
The high resolution character inserter provides two independently
positionable windows to show time and source ID/status (decoded from the
user bits) or Neilson Source ID. Two character sizes and the choice of
white or black characters with or without contrasting background mask are
selected from the front panel.
Features:
•
Keys source ID information recovered from D-VITC directly into digital
video bitstream

•
Character Inserter displays timecode, source ID and VTR status in the
picture
•
Separate positioning of each character window
•
