The HDE-3000 is a high definition HD SDI or
standard definition SD SDI encoder for
professionals that meets the strictest requirements
for broadcast use. The HDE-3000 is capable of
inserting slates, bugs, TV rating icons and subtitles
with field 1 synchronization while encoding closed
caption data. The HDE-3000 encodes data into the
vertical ancillary portion of SMPTE 292M HD SDI
video per SMPTE 334. All ATSC video standards
are supported.
The optional dual encoder HDEenc gives the
operator the ability to run two separate caption or
graphics jobs at the same time. It also allows for
two separate time code inputs. The dual HDE-
3000/2 can reduce encoding time by allowing the
operator to encode captions in High Definition or
Standard Definition simultaneously.
A built-in Closed Caption Decoder will display
open captions on the video output for HD or SD.
The dual encoder, HDE-3000/2 can display OPEN
on one HDEenc and CLOSED on the second
HDEenc.
The HDE-3000 will encode or monitor popular
XDS packets including VCHIP, CGMS, and TSID.
A selectable safe title area is provided to insure
graphics are displayed in the viewable area. The
optional Drag and Drop software allows for quick
and simple additions of graphics to any job.
With the optional Internet captioning software,
captioning can be accomplished from any location
that has an Internet network connection.
With the HDE-3000 network capability a single or
multiple HDE-3000's can be controlled remotely
from any Windows based PC.
The HDE-3000 supports the following HD SDI
standards, 1080i, 1080p, 1080psf, and 720p. It
also supports SD NTSC and PAL SDI. The HDE-
3000 will support most caption file formats and will
translate EIA-608 captions into the EIA-708 format.
VANC encoding and decoding is also available for
SD SDI. The encoded line in HD is selectable by
the user. It is also capable of up-converting CC2 or
CC3 to EIA-708, Service 2. The offset and
amplitude of inserted line 21 (22 PAL) for SD can
be controlled by the HDE-3000. The HDE-3000
also becomes a selectable format Black Burst
generator with no input signal.
The HDE-3000 is PC based using Windows XPE
and is constructed of modular architecture that
utilizes the industry standard PCI bus. This
concept provides the ability for future options.
Each HDE-3000 comes with a 1 year warranty and
a two year Firmware Maintenance Agreement. The
firmware is easily upgraded through the front panel
controls.
Beginning in the 4 th quarter of 2008 all HDE-3000's
will be equipped with a Solid State Hard drive for
state of the art performance.
