SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual Installing SEL-1ENC1 Modules You can insert a Selenio module into a frame with the power supply turned on or off. Follow this procedure: Remove a blank back module from the frame, saving the blank back modules and their captive screws for future configurations.
SEL-1ENC1 Installation, Operation, and Specifications CAUTION: Do not mix and match back and front modules. The front module must mate with a back module of the same product. Open the front panel and then slide the correct front modules into the slots that match the back modules.
SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual Powering Up a Module The SEL-1ENC1 is ready for use when its parameters appear in the Selenio UI. The power consumption of a SEL-1ENC1 module is 45 W. Upgrade Module Firmware All module firmware upgrades are activated in the frame controller section of the Selenio user interface.

Remove the module, and then return Switch 1 to the Off position. Reinsert the module. The module is now running the new software. Video Input General Loss of Input...
SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual Resolution The Resolution of the encoded image that you select in this field is based on the source you set in the Source Format parameter. ARC Control Use this parameter to set the aspect ratio for the output video. The SEL-1ENC1 encoder provides a small number of ARC settings to accommodate different sources.
SEL-1ENC1 Installation, Operation, and Specifications Video Compression Detailed control of GOP structures and compression settings makes it possible to create streams to best fit your requirements while achieving the highest picture quality possible. General Chroma Sampling The SEL-1ENC1 offers two options: 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 (availability depends on model type purchased).
Page 25
SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual MPEG-2 anchors prediction points at I-frames and P-frames. Intervening B-frames reference only the closest the I- and P-frame pictures. H.264 relaxes these restrictions, allowing B-frames to reference I- and P-frames that are outside their closest neighbors (in addition to other B-frames). This flexibility alters the notion of open and closed GOPs and affects the placement of edit points in the video stream.
Page 26
SEL-1ENC1 Installation, Operation, and Specifications Min Qp Using this parameter, you can set the minimum quantization value of the encoder. If you select 1, the encoder determines its own quantization values. Any other value you insert, from 2 to 51, will be applied to the compression. This parameter is typically only used for variable bitrate coding.
SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual Application Examples These application provide a starting point for configuring your encoder module. There are many possible variations.

SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual Preprocessing This parameter selects special processing for the audio channel. Options are: None (default) Loudness Control, and MultiMerge. Delay This parameter makes it possible to correct lip-sync by adjusting audio delay between -500 to +500 msec, relative to video. A negative number causes the audio signal to precede the video and helps to synchronize audio and video when using an external audio encoder.

SEL-1ENC1 Installation, Operation, and Specifications Language Code This control specifies the ISO language code identifying the audio stream. In dual-mono mode, the control specifies the code used for the first mono channel. You can type a country code directly into this field. The default setting for this parameter is English (ENG). State This control enables or disables the addition of a specified audio channel into the stream.
SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual If the SI-Mode is set to ATSC (in Transport Stream > General), the Auto setting forces the module to the Explicit setting. If the SI-Mode is set to anything other than ATSC, the Auto setting forces the module to an Implicit setting.

SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual DVITC directs the encoder to extract Digital Vertical Interval Time Code from the specified VBI lines. The time codes are then transmitted in the MPEG stream according to ETSI EN 301 775 (a private extension). Typically, DVITC is carried on line 14, but it can appear on other VBI lines.
SEL-1ENC1 Installation, Operation, and Specifications VBI Status These parameters offer a detailed read-only view of the different field and lines in use for VBI. Ancillary Data Rate This parameter sets the maximum data bitrate to be encoded. When the data source specifies a data input value other than 0, incoming data is added to the encoder's program as a data stream.
Page 43
SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual Closed captioning uses a DID value of 0x61. Encoders extract closed captions automatically and move them to the program's picture user data. If a VANC service is specified with the DID and SDID for closed captions, the encoder will additionally pass the closed caption data as a VANC service.

SEL-1ENC1 Installation, Operation, and Specifications (Close Caption) Trans The encoder can receive either 608 or 708 closed captioning. The Trans parameter sets the translation behavior for the different sources types. Always enables 608-to-708 translation. Any incoming 708 captions are discarded, and translated 608 captions are used instead.
SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual KLV Rate This parameter sets the specific KLV data rate. Teletext and OP-47 Teletext Mode Teletext Mode sets the encoding for Teletext data. Options are Dual (default), ETSI EN 300 472, and ETSI EN 301 775. OP 47 Lines Use this parameter to set the maximum number of OP-47 teletext lines per frame to process.

SEL-1ENC1 Installation, Operation, and Specifications Laser Safety for Fiber Optic Back Modules WARNING! Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than those specified in this document may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure. Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit infrared light that is normally not visible to the human eye.
SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment during installation or servicing. Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set. Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the optical fiber systems during installation and service.
SEL-1ENC1 Installation, Operation, and Specifications Important Before you begin cleaning, always inspect the fiber connections. Points Inspect and clean both fiber ends every time you make a connection. Keep a protective cap on unplugged fiber connectors. Do not touch the end of a fiber. Store unused protective caps in a clean resealable container, located nearby for easy access.
SEL-1ENC1 Installation and Operation Manual Inspection and Cleaning Procedure Inspection To inspect and clean the fibers, follow these steps: Ensure the fiber is not “live.” WARNING! Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an energized fiber end. Inspect the fiber endface with a fiberscope.
SEL-1ENC1 Installation, Operation, and Specifications If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning procedure until the endface is clean. If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts, call Customer Service for further instructions; if the fiber end is clean, return to the installation instructions.
