9822 PRODUCT MANUAL

9822-OM (V4.1)

(continued)

• Output Status Display

Displays the current content and source being used for the timecode data
as follows:

• Output status OK (in this example, running timecode received from

SDI VITC).

• Timecode not available due to lack of appropriate input timecode data on

enabled formats.

Note: Timecode output requires that source and priority are appropriately

selected (as described above in Source Priority). Also, video input
must contain appropriate timecode data.

Timecode Insertion button set to Disabled; output insertion disabled.

• VITC Waveform Output Line

Selects the VITC1 and VITC2 line numbers (6 thru 22) where the VITC
data is inserted. (The default is line #14/16.)

Note: • Although the output line drop-down will allow any choice within the

9 thru 41 range, the actual range is automatically clamped (limited)
to certain ranges to prevent inadvertent conflict with active picture
area depending on video format. See Ancillary Data Line Number
Locations and Ranges (p. 3-8)
for more information.

The card does not check for conflicts on a given line number.

Make certain the selected line is available and carrying no other
data.

If only one output line is to be used, set both controls for the same

line number.

• SD VITC Waveform Insertion Control

Enables or disables VITC waveform timecode insertion into the SD-SDI
output stream.

• SD ATC Insertion Con.trol

For SD output, enables or disables SD ATC_VITC timecode insertion into
the video stream.

Note: SD ATC_VITC is locked to line 12. The card does not check for

conflicts on a given line number. Make certain this line is available if
SD ATC_VITC is to be used. See Ancillary Data Line Number
Locations and Ranges (p. 3-8)
for more information.

• ATC_VITC Legacy Support Control

When enabled, accommodates equipment requiring ATC_VITC packet in
both fields as a “field 1” packet (non-toggling).

Note: Non-toggling VITC1 and VITC2 packets do not conform to

SMPTE 12M-2-2008 preferences. As such, ATC_VITC Legacy
Support should be enabled only if required by downstream
equipment.
