OVERVIEW

Models 8084/8084AD/8085 Closed Caption Encoder Manual
This manual describes the operation of three different Closed Caption
Encoder products manufactured by Evertz Microsystems. These products
combine the capabilities our previous 807X caption encoder line with the
latest advances in processor and memory architecture.
The Model 8084 Digital Video Closed Caption Encoder provides a cost-
effective method of encoding closed captions into the digital video
bitstream. It has been designed to meet the needs of both television
broadcast and post-production facilities. The Model 8084AD Caption
Encoder adds the capability of inserting captions directly into a composite
video signal as well as a digital video bitstream. The Model 8085 DTV
Caption Encoder performs transcoding and translation to EIA-708
"advanced" captions, in addition to typical captioning functions.
Generally, all of the features noted are available on all caption encoder
models. Any exceptions are noted within the manual text.
