The HD480 Smart Encoder V is a next-generation digital closed captioning solution designed to streamline and integrate the Line 21/HD-VANC encoding process into one powerful box. The HD480 revolutionizes closed caption encoding with a compact and robust new platform designed to support a wide variety of powerful ancillary data software on-board. All HD480 encoders ship with the iCap™ internet captioning package.
Some of the many features of the HD480 include:
Fully integrated 708 caption decoder supports advanced 708 features with HD broadcast quality fonts and video
GPI controlled relocation of 708 closed captioning to prevent the covering of emergency message text by caption displays
Relay-bypassed master video path
Encodes caption data sourced from previously encoded video sources, two RS232 serial ports, or a dial-up modem (one included, second modem optional)
Includes iCAP™ software for secure real-time internet-based captioning without dial-up phone lines or external audio couplers
Encodes CEA-708 standard closed captioning from native 708 or legacy 608 (SD) sources, and is the first HD caption encoder to feature a real-time HD decoder output
Network-ready for password-protected file transfers and web configuration from any computer within a local network
Flash updates and fast file transfers through front panel USB port
Full command set back-compatibility with 470 Smart Encoder III and 530 Smart Encoder IV
