1. Introduction

1.1. Product Description

The DE285 HD Caption Decoder/VANC Monitor is an all purpose closed

caption decoder which creates an HD open caption display for moni-

toring CEA–708 data quality and full standards compliance, while also

providing an extensive VANC monitoring suite. The DE285 can be con-

ﬁgured from the front panel to display caption data in HD Services 1

through 6, and all caption channels present in the EIA-608 compatibility

bytes. In addition to producing broadcast quality open–captioned video,

the DE285 decodes a wide array of metadata types, including AFD (Ac-

tive Format Descriptors), audio metadata and XDS. The DE285 also fea-

tures HANC embedded AES audio decoding with channel levels, peaks,

and phase detection.

The DE285 comes equipped with a powerful Web-based VANC Analysis

Tool for viewing and capturing live VANC data, sorted by service type,

DID/SDID or line number. The DE285 Web Tools offer an efﬁcient new

way to monitor VANC packets, providing programmable triggers with

logging for packet drop-outs or changes, as well as other features.

The EEG DE285 offers a comprehensive VANC monitoring solution and

HD closed caption decoder with the proven quality and full standards

compliance of the industry’s leading provider of HD closed caption de-

coding equipment.

5. Web Tools Suite

The Web Tools module is a high-powered network-driven remote appli-

cation for the DE285 that provides new ways to view VANC data, as well

as advanced conﬁguration and monitoring tools. To use Web Conﬁgura-

tion, the Decoder ﬁrst must be connected to a 100-Base LAN, and con-

ﬁgured with a valid IP address and subnet mask for that LAN through

the front panel Network menu. Once the decoder has been given an

address, access the web tools by typing the Decoder’s IP address into a

web browser from any computer on the same LAN.

Using an intuitive interface, the Web Tools module displays the detailed

options tabs on the upper left hand side while showing the current video

standard selected on the upper right hand side. Below the video stan-

dard on the right side, the error status is displayed in a continuously

updated list which can be hidden or expanded by clicking on the arrow

button located at the top of the error list. This list will brieﬂy display

any current video errors that appear on–screen. There is also a Clear

Errors button that clears past errors and restarts the error count.

Below the error status display on the left is the System Info button,

which displays the version number of each software component of the

DE285 to make sure the current software loaded is up to date.

To the right of the System Info button is the ANC Packet Key button

DE285 HD Caption Decoder/VANC Monitor

which provides a fully customizable reference for seeing which DID/SDID

value maps to which service.Pre-deﬁned DID/SDID values are listed in

rows giving the DID value, the SDID value, the name of the data and the

option to remove this mapping. These mappings determine the name of

the service corresponding to a particular DID/SDID listed in the Packet

Display tab. To add a new mapping you can use the top row of the chart

to enter a DID value, a SDID value, and the corresponding name you

would like associated with the DID/SDID and then click the Add button.

5.1. Packet Display Module

The Packet Display Module displays real–time VANC data on the website

which can be sorted by one of three methods. This is the starting page

in the main pane of the DE285 Web Tools module and is shown on the

previous page. The VANC packets can be sorted by DID/SDID, Service

Type or Line Number. The sorting method can be selected from the drop

down menu located at the top of the packet display module.

DE285 HD Caption Decoder/VANC Monitor

The default viewing mode for the Packet Display Module gives an overview

of which service types are present, along with their line numbers, DID/SDID

values and frequency. A more detailed view is available by clicking on

the ‘+’ button located to the left of each VANC packet. The expanded

view displays the hex dump, ﬁeld, checksum and location/type of the

data. The hex dump begins with the sample offset in the line followed by

a colon and the hex value of each sample in the packet. The checksum

ﬁeld evaluates whether or not the checksum is valid. The Location/Type

ﬁeld displays whether it is VANC or HANC and which type it is. To return

to the default view click on the ‘-’ button at the top of packet line.

The VANC packets are continuously updated and displayed in the chart.

If you would like the current data to remain on the screen temporarily,

click the Pause button on the top left of the Packet Display Module. To

resume seeing the live updated data, click the Resume button.

5.2. Data Decoder Module

The Data Decoder Module is a three part visualization tool which dis-

plays decoded AFD data on the top part of the screen, decoded XDS

data alongside raw XDS packets on the middle portion of the screen and

SCTE104 data on the bottom of the screen.

5.2.1. AFD Decoder

The upper portion of the screen contains the AFD Decoder module which

displays the current AFD code on the top right of the module, the de-

coded aspect ratio description below the code, and a visual representa-

tion of the AFD code on the left hand side. The default viewing option

shows the AFD Decoder display. To hide the AFD decoder module, click

on the upwards arrow at the top right hand corner. To expand the mod-

ule, click the downwards arrow at the top right hand corner.
