Getting Started Introduction Overview This chapter describes the basic captioning functions that you can perform using your Wohler HDCC-708MON-OG1 (for the Ross DFR-8321 frame). Goals for This Chapter Provide a Quick Start process that gives an overview of the installation.
Refer to Using DashBoard on page 33 for instructions. The HDCC-708MON-OG1 is a one-channel card; It allows a single HD/ SD-SDI stream to pass through. Caption data is output through several available serial connections: RS-232, USB, and Ethernet (via a virtual serial port).

CHAPTER 4 Using DashBoard Introduction Overview This chapter explains how to use the HDCC card in a Ross DFR-8321 frame with the DashBoard Control System™ (the PC graphic user interface, from here on referred to as DashBoard) to configure your HDCC card.
C h a p t e r 4 U si n g D a s h B oa r d St a r t in g Da s h B o a rd Starting DashBoard The operations of the HDCC card are controlled by the settings of internal registers, which are easily and intuitively configured with DashBoard.

C h a p t e r 5 Te r m in a l B a ck g r ou n d Background The HDCC card’s operation is governed by several registers. These registers are modified automatically when you use the DashBoard. However, more advanced users may prefer to configure these registers manually.
Note: If you’re using the Wohler MC-1RU frame, you can access the Terminal with the same serial port you use to connect to the HDCCRegEdit. (HDCCRegEdit is really a user interface that uses the Terminal.)
