NOTICE TO MODEM USERS IN THE USA
NOTE
The HD9084 Caption Encoder complies with the FCC Rules Part 68. The caption encoder is designed
to be used on standard device telephone lines. It connects to the telephone line by means of a
standard jack called the USOC RJ11C and should be connected to the telephone network with a FCC
compliant telephone cord and modular plug.
It is not necessary to notify the telephone company before connecting the modem in the caption
encoder. However, the telephone company may request the telephone number to which the caption
encoder modem is connected and the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN),
both of which are on the label on the rear panel.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices you may legally connect to your telephone line.
In most areas, the sum of the REN of all devices connected to one line must not exceed five (5.0). You
should contact your telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
The caption encoder may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection
to party lines is subject to state tariffs.
If the modem in the caption encoder is malfunctioning, it may affect the telephone lines. In this case,
disconnect the modem until the source of the difficulty is traced.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTICE
FOR A RELIABLE TELEPHONE CONNECTION TO THE MODEM IN THIS CAPTION ENCODER A
DIRECT TELEPHONE LINE MUST BE USED. THIS LINE MUST NOT PASS THROUGH A PBX OR
SIMILAR KEY DEVICE.

OVERVIEW Page 1-1
1. OVERVIEW
The HD9084 DTVCC Caption Processor is a comprehensive, compact solution for all HD Advanced
Closed Caption and SD Closed Caption requirements. Simultaneous HD-SDI and SD-SDI video I/O
paths provide a one-box solution with the following functionality:
•Simultaneous encoding of new captions onto HD and SD video
•Transcoding and translation of captions from an SD source (CEA-608) onto HD source (SMPTE
334M)
•Transcoding of captions from an HD source (SMPTE 334M) onto SD source (CEA-608)
•Processing of captions from SD-SDI video source (CEA-608) to send to a compression encoder
(SMPTE 333M or Grand Alliance)
•Processing of captions from HD-SDI video source (SMPTE 334M) to send to a compression
encoder (SMPTE 333M or Grand Alliance)
•Direct support for caption encoding over IP
The SMPTE-292M HD-SDI video path supports 720p, 480p, 1080i, 1035i or 1080p video formats.
CEA-708 captions are stored in the VANC of HD-SDI as per SMPTE-334M. The SMPTE-259M-C SDI
video path supports CEA-608 captions stored on line 21 of component digital video. Both SD and HD
video paths include bypass relay protection.
HD9084 supports various types of communications interface, including RS-232/422 serial, telephone
modem, telnet and parallel GPI control. The HD9084 interfaces with all ATSC (MPEG) compression
encoders and supports the following CEA-708 transfer formats: SMPTE 334M, SMPTE 333M and
Grand Alliance. The built in HD closed caption decoder allows confidence monitoring of CEA-708 and
CEA-608 captions on any Analog monitor.
The HD9084 also provides caption shifting for both SD and HD captions via GPI control. This provides
compliance with FCC order prohibiting obstruction of weather warning text, which often appears on the
bottom of the screen.
HD9084 is easily configured using the front panel, remotely through the various communication ports,
or via On-Screen display.
