  • Page 11: Processes

    Ethernet Processes Encoding The HDCC-708MULTI-OG2 can receive caption data from either the RS-232 port or one of two available Ethernet virtual serial ports, and embed it into the input video stream. The monitoring output channel allows the encoding to be visually confirmed by displaying the video with captions overlaid.

  • Page 12: Bridging/Transcoding

    E n c o d i n g Bridging/Transcoding As a bridge, the HDCC-708MULTI-OG2 can decode the captions from the input video stream on one channel and encode them onto the video stream of the second channel. If one channel is HD and the other SD, the card will automatically reformat the caption data for the destination frame rate (transcode).
