Setting the Switches Introduction Overview Thank you for purchasing Wohler’s HDCC card, a product that provides a variety of closed captioning functions. This chapter explains how to install, set up, and use your card. I m p o rt a n t : Thorough the whole manual, the term of "closed captions"...

C h a p t e r 1 Setting the Switches Us i n g the C a rd Using the Card Using the HDCC card amounts to little more than setting the switches, attaching the I/O cables, and connecting a PC through either an Ethernet or a serial port to encode or analyze.
C h a p t e r 1 S e t t in g t h e S w it c h e s U s i n g th e C a r d Encoding Only When encoding, a signal that comes in on I/P 1 goes out on the odd- numbered outputs, and a signal that comes in on I/P 2 goes out on the even-numbered outputs.
