EEG - The Captioning Solutions Company

Program Rating Monitor - Model SM106

• Responds to all rating systems as defined in EIA 744A.
  
• MPAA, TV Ratings, Canadian English & Canadian French.
  
• Continuous display of V-Chip codes data.
  
• Front panel LEDs show presence of Video & Advisory codes.

The SM106 combines the functionality of six SM101 units in a 1U chassis, preserving important rack space in those environments having multiple network facilities. All the monitors are independent with each having its own input and output connectors.

The EEG SM106 displays the Program Rating packet information encoded in the Line 21, Field 2 Extended Data Services (XDS) data channel. This monitor provides continuous verification of the V-Chip Blocking codes inserted by the EEG XDS Xpress system. The Monitor Video outputs contain an On Screen Display (OSD) of the XDS data. The SM106 displays key Current Class and Channel Class packets if they are being transmitted. The front panel LEDs show Video present and Content Advisory data present.

The monitor display shows the rating in large letters to emphasize the Content Advisory packet contents for rapid identification. "INVALID RATING" is displayed when there is no Content Advisory packet being sent or if the recovered packet contains an invalid rating. If any of the other displayed XDS packets do not exist, those items will not be displayed.
