Dolby Metadata
Extracts and preserves Dolby ® metadata from the input
SDI, and in turn allows the metadata to be re-inserted in
the output SDI. This allows scaling and/or format
conversions without losing Dolby
® metadata.
• Metadata Embedding Metadata Embedding (On/Off) controls SMPTE 2020-1 metadata
embedding in the SDI video output.
• When set to On, metadata is extracted from the SDI input video,
buffered, and re-directed to the output SDI video.
• When set to Off, metadata is not embedded in the output SDI video.
• Metadata Output Line
Allows selection of SMPTE 2020-1 metadata line location within the VANC
space for re-inserted Dolby ® metadata.
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.
• VBI Metadata Removal VBI Metadata Removal (On/Off) allows metadata to be removed (On)
even if the Scaler is not enabled. (This control is default set to Off, with
metadata being passed when Scaler is disabled)
Note: When the Scaler is enabled, Dolby metadata is automatically
removed. Set the Metadata Embedding control to On to re-insert
metadata as described above.
Note: The Metadata Embedded Source button in DashBoard™ is locked to Input Video for this card. With this function
enabled, the extracted metadata is always available in the SDI video output.
• RS-485 Port Function Select Selects function for shared RS-485 on card with +LTC option. For Dolby ®
metadata output on port, make sure control is set as shown here.
