EEG Introduces Highly Flexible DE280 HD Caption Decoder
Latest System from the Industry Standard for Closed Captioning Brings Flexibility to
EIA-708 Closed Caption Decoding for Broadcast, Post Production Applications
FARMINGDALE, NY: EEG, the pacesetter for closed caption decoding, has announced the availability of the DE280 HD Caption Decoder. A professional EIA-708 closed caption decoder, the DE280 applies EEG's deep expertise to create a highly advanced HD open caption display for monitoring data quality and standards compliance.
"EEG's DE280 was designed in response to the increasingly sophisticated needs of the HD broadcasting and post production markets,"says Philip McLaughlin, President of EEG. "As our latest EIA-708 closed caption decoder, the DE280 is highly configurable, providing users with new levels of flexibility for monitoring applications."
Unlike earlier decoders which show 708 captioning in a traditional, 608-style black and white box, the DE280 is the first professional decoder with the ability to accurately display the advanced style and positioning features defined in the 708 standard. For monitoring applications, this means full confidence that the monitor matches the output of consumer decoders. Use of the rich 708 feature set also makes the DE280 ideal for titling (open captioning) applications in post-production or live environments.
The EEG DE280 offers a number of highly useful features, including:
· configurable from the front panel to display caption data in all HD Services 1 through 6, and all caption channels present in the EIA-608 compatibility bytes
· user-selectable fonts, colors, and opacity for easy caption reading, as well as transparent, accurate display of upstream encoded fonts and settings
· dial-up modem, serial port, and file-based input methods for generating high-quality open caption displays
· powerful processor platform to enable a wide variety of custom decoder-based applications
· additional applications and firmware updates are field-programmable using a front panel USB port, or a LAN connection.
"As the pioneer in closed captioning, EEG is committed to keeping ahead with outstanding systems, service and support," Phil McLaughlin concludes. "With the DE280, we are proud to be meeting and exceeding expectations for the industry’s next-generation HD caption decoders."
