8 Features: General Description SD/HD/3G SDI XDS RAM (V-Chip) Data Recovery GPI Remote Legalizer 2 CEA-708 Services Converted from Port Communications 2 Serial 2 IP Field Upgradeable VANC Line Selection Optional Dual Supplies IP Captioning Power off Bypass Decodes CC1-CC4 or S1-S6 The SCE-492 is a standard definition, high definition, or three gigabits serial digital interface closed caption encoder or shortened to SD/HD/3G SDI CC Encoder. It will accept SD/HD/3G SDI transport streams and give three closed caption encoded outputs with the option of one of them being decoded of the same format as the input. For SD it will encode line 21/22 CEA-608 waveform and/or encodes SMPTE 334 Caption Data Packet (CDP). The Caption Data Packet will contain a header, CEA-608 data, CEA-708 data, caption service descriptor, and a footer. For HD and 3G level B it will encode the caption data packet. The unit will pass ANC data untouched including audio to the output. The SDI outputs are re-clocked making the SDI output eye pattern generally better than the input. It is a better re-clocker than most re-clocking Distribution Amplifiers (DA). It has RAM that is reserved for XDS packets, the packets will be inserted into CEA-608 field 2 based on XDS packet priority and field 2 availability. The unit also has XDS menus for Parental Guidelines (V-Chip) and Transmission Station Identification (TSID) packets. The RAM can be filled using V-Chip software. It has 2 serial RS-232 ports, both with adjustable baud rates. It has 2 Ports that are tunneled to the Ethernet connector. Allowing two IP caption connections at one address. A menu allows you to select resend or redirect data from the Ethernet port to the serial ports. Resend means the unit processes the data and sends the data out. Redirect means the unit sends the data out but does not process the data. It has a GPI remote activated Legalizer also called Weather Lift. With a menu that allows you to select the amount of lines to be lifted. You can raise the lower 4 lines up 2, 3, or 4 lines or raise all lines to the top 4 lines. Recently the FCC has mandated that captions are not to be displayed over things like people s names, school closings, and so on. This has become a major issue with broadcasters. It now has a decoded output and caption data recovery for quality monitoring. The SCE-492 SDI closed caption encoder dubbed Superior Encoder is the second unit to be launched in the Chameleon Series. The idea of the Chameleon Series is that one product can be configured into many different units just by changing the software. Similar to a chameleon changing color based on its environment hence the name Chameleon Series. SCE-492 8

10 Operating Instructions The SCE-492 for the most part is plug and play, should the need arise there are menus to allow you to change the settings. You should familiarize yourself with the Information Display. All four communication ports are always active so you will not have to turn them on or off. The default serial ports protocol is, a baud rate of 1200, 8 bits, parity none, stop bits 1, and flow control none. Optional external serial modems are available. The SCE-492 will encode captions according to the preferred method of the SMPTE 334 standard into a caption data packet CDP. This packet contains the CDP header, CDP closed caption data section which includes CEA-608 data and CEA-708 data, closed caption service information section (Optional), and a CDP footer. The unit will receive CEA-608 data and convert that to CEA-708 data then encode both of them into the CDP. When encoding, any pre-existing CEA-708 caption data packets will be deleted. For basic encoding the commands are the same as any other Link encoder like the PCE-845. The difference in the commands is in the fields. The CDP requires that both fields are present even if you are just encoding field 1, field 2 will have to be reencoded or nulled (zeroes). Field encoding control is based on a controlling port so field 1 can be encoded by one port and field 2 can be encoded by another port. This would allow you to encode CEA-608 CC1, CEA-708 S1, CEA-608 CC3, and CEA-708 S2 at the same time using two ports. Each field controlling port is automatically assigned to the last port that it received a field initialization command from, ignoring any other field data from other port(s) until the next port receives that field initialization. Up to four captioners can be connected and swap control of the encoder just by initializing it. This could be useful when doing live captioning for long periods of time. A new mode has been added called ready, this just means the unit is ready to receive data thru its selected port and when it receives a CEA-608 captioning command it begins encoding. This way you could have voice recognition captioning software sending data to one port and a teleprompter set on another port. If your teleprompter is set up correctly, when your teleprompter starts the SCE-492 will start encoding the teleprompter data and when the teleprompter stops the SCE-492 would start encoding the voice recognition data. A decoder has been added to one of the outputs for quality monitoring. The decoder also has the ability to send caption data out (data recovery) one of its four ports. A new mode has been added to data recovery called Alternate codes. In this mode the unit sends out an alternate character instead of special character also sends out a space, a carriage return, and a line feed for new lines instead of caption codes. This is done to make the recovered data more legible. SCE

11 IP Captions Unlike other encoders this unit has two ports tunneled to the Ethernet connector allowing for two simultaneous IP caption connections. The Ethernet port would have to be connected to a gateway router that has port forwarding setup. The units default IP address is , port number is Ethernet port 1, and port number is Ethernet port 2. The Ethernet connector of the SCE-492 has a web page that allows you to change network settings of the device. You would give your captioner your WAN (Internet) IP address, not the one listed above unless on a LAN, and port number or port number These connections are for caption data only the captioner would still have to get the audio for the program that is being captioned. There are many ways that a captioner can get the audio. It will be up to you and your captioner to determine how the audio will be sent and received. IP captioning is becoming the preferred method of captioners and broadcasters for live captioning. There are many reasons that IP captioning has become the preferred method of live captioning. No need for plain old telephone (POTs) line, these types of lines are becoming less available. No modems, no phone lines, no long distant charges, and no caption server fees. This means less equipment and less cables that can fail. For the most part the captioner and broadcaster would be using Internet connections they already have. A unique feature of the Ethernet ports is rerouting, meaning that data can be redirected or resent out the serial port(s). Resending means the unit will take this data in and process it, encode it, and send that data out the selected serial port(s). See the Resending Example. Redirecting means the unit will not process the data, it will just redirect it out the selected serial port(s). See the Redirecting Example. These features allows control of multiple encoders or even to serial control some other hardware thru IP. If you have an IP address conflict from another device which has the same IP address, different network setup, or multiple SCE-492 s on same network, the unit has a built in web page that allows you to change network settings. See the Changing IP Address section. Your network administrator should know how to setup the gateway router for port forwarding. There is a section on Port Forwarding that could be useful to your network administrator. SCE

15 Information Display PS SP EP E F1=None F2=None 1. Power Supply: indication using simulated LEDs: we can see that power supply 1 is on and power supply 2 is off. 2. Serial Port: data received indication using simulated LEDs: we can see that both serial ports are not receiving data. 3. Ethernet Port: data received indication using simulated LEDs: we can see that both IP ports are not receiving data. 4. Encoding: indication using a simulated LED: we can see that unit is not encoding, captions are being bypassed. When encoding it will encode both fields if not receiving data for a field then it will encode nulls for that field. 5. Fields encode mode and controlling port: This area will show the active encode mode and active controlling port for both fields, along with XDS and GPI indications. Encode modes are Bps (bypass), Rdy (ready), Ins (insert), Nw2 (newswire 2 line), or Nw3 (newswire 3 line). Controlling ports are S1 (serial port 1), S2 (serial port 2), E1 ([IP 1] Ethernet port 1), or E2 ([IP 2] Ethernet port 2). None means no encode mode no controlling port, RmtBp (remote bypass) means GPI remote bypass is activated, Re_en means this field is being re-encoded, Null means blanks are being inserted on this field, and Test means the unit is preforming an encoder test. An X will show as the second to last character if an XDS packet is being inserted. A will show as last character if Legalizer is activated. PS SP EP E F1=InsS1 F2=Nw3S2 X The above is an example to help in reading the display. From the top line we can see that both power supplies are working, Serial port 1 is receiving data, Serial port 2, Ethernet port 1, and Ethernet port 2 are not receiving data, and the unit is encoding both fields. From the bottom line we can see that field 1 encode mode is insert with serial port 1 controlling it, field 2 encode mode is newswire 3-line roll-up with serial port 2 controlling it, XDS packets are being inserted, and the legalizer is activated.

On the SCE-492 Ethernet port 1 reroute would be set to resend to serial port 1 and Ethernet port 2 reroute would be set to resend to serial port 2. SCE

49 Redirect Example PCE-845 SCE-492 Captioner CC1 for HD program Sending IP data to port To gateway router connected to Internet Sending IP data To port Captioner CC1 for NTSC program Encoding this way would result in two streams being encoded separately. The PCE-845 would have CC1 encoded on NTSC. The SCE-492 would have CC1 and S1 encoded on HD. On the SCE-492 Ethernet port 1 reroute would be set to none and Ethernet port 2 reroute would be set to redirect to serial port 2. The SCE-492s Ethernet port 2 is being used as a black box. When using the redirect function of the Ethernet port the serial connection does not have to be an encoder, it could be a serial device that you want to control thru the Ethernet. SCE

50 Instruction Set The encoder initialization commands used for other link encoders will work with this unit. The SCE-492 commands are to insert (encode) on one field from one port. The port with the most recent field insert command will be the port that controls that field. If the encoder receives a field 1 insert command from serial port 1 it will encode serial port 1 data. Then if the encoder receives a field 1 insert command from serial port 2 it will encode serial port 2 data and ignore serial port 1 data. Keep in mind though the CDP has to have data for both fields so if encoding only field 1 then field 2 will have to be re-encoded or nulled. Encode field 1 commands: ^A1 (1h31h) or ^A3 (1h33h) or ^A6 (1h36h) Encode field 2 commands: ^A2 (1h32h) or ^A4 (1h34h) or ^A5 (1h35h) CC1 newswire commands: ^ANX or AnX X = 1-9 or A F (1h4EhX or 1h6EX X = 31h 39h or 41h 46h) CC3 newswire commands: ^APX or ApX X = 1-9 or A F (1h50hX or 1h70X X = 31h 39h or 41h 46h) Newswire is a special encode mode that allows the captioner to type and every time a carriage return is received the unit automatically encodes the caption codes for a roll up caption at the bottom of the screen. This keeps the captioning software from having to send out 608 commands before every line. If the command is upper case then it is a 3 line roll up and if lower case it is a 2 line roll up. The X is for a time out bypass the unit will go into bypass after X seconds of receiving no data. The time out is 1 to 15 seconds if X is an invalid value it will default to 15 seconds. Encoder bypass commands: ^A0 (1h30h) or ^A7 (1h37h) Encoder bypass return: ^AS (1h53h) For the bypass command to work a field has to be controlled by the port receiving the command. The same is true for the bypass return command to work the port receiving the command has to be in bypass. Any of the Encode commands will return from bypass. Encoder soft reset commands: ^AR (1h52h) or ^F^F (6h6h) SCE

51 Encoder hard reset: ^AO (1h4Fh) A soft reset will reset the encoder and load the current settings, a hard reset will reset the encoder and load power on defaults. Disable duplicate command: ^AQ (1h51h) This disables encoding of duplicate CEA-608 command codes for field 1. The CEA-608 standard states that field 1 should have duplicate command code so it is not recommended to disable them. Run test command: ^AT (1h54h) Encoder inquiry command: ^A? (1h3Fh) XDS packet(s) loading: ^AV1 (1h 56h 31h) This is immediately followed by an XDS packet. The packet should begin with the appropriate XDS class code (one byte) followed by the appropriate type code (one byte). The actual data is loaded next, and may be up to 32 characters depending upon the particular packet. Individual data packets are terminated by the XDS "end" control code, 0Fh. The encoder will frame the packet by adding a null byte (if necessary) and generate the required checksum. Subsequent packets are handled in the same manner, each beginning with the class/type code pair and terminating with the "end" code. The last "end" code should be followed by an ASCII carriage return (0Dh) which will terminate data loading. XDS packet(s) removal: ^AV0 (1h56h30h) This is immediately followed by the appropriate XDS class code (one byte) followed by the appropriate type code (one byte) and a carriage return (0dh). To completely clear the XDS buffer, omit the class/type characters and simply transmit ^AV0 followed by a carriage return. Error codes will be replied; Error # 1 no data recovery commands, Error # 2 unknown or invalid encoder command, Error # 3 XDS already enabled on another port, Error # 4 bad XDS command, or Error # 5 XDS abruptly terminated bad command.

52 Upgrading Please read this section in its entirety before upgrading. Depending on the method you are using this could take up to a couple hours. Ideally using recommended methods it should take about one hour. The recommended method is to use Hyper Terminal and a serial port. Just about any communications program that will transfer a file using Xmodem protocol will work. Hyper Terminal comes with XP OS and is a free download for Windows 7 & 8 so we will be using it in this manual. Serial port 1 or Ethernet port 1 are the only ports to be used for upgrading and the Ethernet port is going to be the slower of the two. The baud rate for any of the methods has to be bps. First of all you will need to get the appropriate files for upgrading from Link Electronics. The file needed for the SCE-492 micro application should be a binary file named something like 492MICROvA1.bin. The file needed for the SCE-492 FPGA application should also be a binary file named something like 492FPGAvA1.xsvf. Starting an upgrade with no files, inappropriate files, or interrupting it may render the unit useless until an upgrade has been completed. We will start with the micro application update. Hold the escape button in while powering up when you see The Chameleon Series BootLoader Ver. X.2 release the button. You will have to select start bootloader and press enter, then select the port you want to use and press enter. The unit will now erase the application and once it is done it will tell you to start the file transfer. In Hyper Terminal set up properties just like one of the following; com port properties or network properties SCE

53 Make sure you have attached the appropriate cable(s) to and from the computer and the unit. Select OK and if disconnected select call from pull down menu. Once you are connected you should see that the unit is sending a start download command like in picture below. Do not start the file transfer until you are connected and seeing the start download command. Select send file from the transfer pull down menu then select appropriate file, make sure the Protocol is Xmodem and click send. This should be very quick and the unit will automatically reboot when finished. If file transfer completes and unit is still displaying Programming Flash, there was an error try again. Now to upgrade the FPGA you will need to get to the SCE-492 FGPA application version menu and push in the rotary knob. Once you have selected the port to upgrade from press enter. You will be given a last chance to quit now turn knob and to start the upgrade then press enter. It will now erase the FPGA, this will take several minutes. Once it is ready it will begin sending out the start download command. You will do the same as above with Hyper Terminal except with a different file. At best this process will take about 55 minutes. If the download gets interrupted you can start over by repowering the unit and press both escape and enter when it displays waiting on SCE- 492 Superior Captioning Encoder. Note: If you have any question about upgrading or changing units IP address and port number contact Link Electronics. SCE

54 Changing IP Address The occasion may arise (IP address conflicts and multiple SCE-492s) where you need to change the IP address and port numbers of the unit. The default IP address is at ports and It is recommended that you use a static address instead of DHCP. This way the address won t change when you repower the unit. Connect the unit to the same network your computer is on or use a cross over cable. Type in the IP address of the unit in you browsers address bar. You will be asked for a user name (admin) and a password (PASS). Just select the highlighted items below and you will be able change the IP address. Consult you network administrator for a new IP address. Click on submit when done. SCE

55 You may need to change the port numbers of the unit. If you have other devices using the default ports or have multiple SCE-492s (we don t recommend sharing ports). Select the highlighted items below to change port numbers, you may have to do this with both tunnels. Consult you network administrator for network port availability. Click on Submit when done. SCE

56 Port Forwarding Your network administrator should be able to set up port forwarding for your gateway router or firewall. We cannot tell you how to do this because it varies from device to device. Some devices will let you set up a range of ports for a local address. Some devices will only let you set one port at a time. Some devices you have to set a service to a port then assign that service to a local address. The best we can do is give you this example. First type your routers local address in you browsers address bar. Find the manual for you router to know what that address is or you may be able to use ipconfig in command prompt. You may need to know your username and password for your router. If you do not know or have forgotten your username and password refer to your router s manual. It will show you how to reset it to a default username and password. If you need help doing this give us a call and we will work together to figure it out. SCE
