The HDE-3000 is a high definition HD SDI or
standard definition SD SDI encoder for
professionalsthatmeetsthestrictestrequirements
for broadcast use. The HDE-3000 is capable of
insertingslates,bugs,TVratingiconsandsubtitles
with field 1 synchronization while encoding closed
captiondata.TheHDE-3000encodesdataintothe
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.
Thedualencoder,HDE-3000/2 can displayOPEN
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
translateEIA-608captionsintotheEIA-708format.
VANC encoding and decoding is also available for
SD SDI. The encoded line in HD is selectable by
theuser.Itis also capableofup-convertingCC2 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.
EachHDE-3000comes with a1yearwarranty and
atwoyearFirmwareMaintenanceAgreement.The

Beginninginthe 4th quarterof2008allHDE-3000's
will be equipped with a Solid State Hard drive for
state of the art performance.

STATUS SCREEN
A status screen is displayed on the VGA monitor or
HDE-3000Remoteterminalwheneverthe HDE-3000
is in “run” mode (as opposed to “setup” mode).
The status screen displays several useful items as
shown above.
Many aspects of the HDE-3000 may be customized
by way of user settings. Settings are made from the
front panel, or they may be done via a network. The
HDE-3000 stores all current settings on its hard drive
in a registry file
The dual encoder system, model HDE-3000/2 contains two HDEenc encode/decode cards. The dual encoder
system allows several features, such as;
A. Run two jobs simultaneously
B. NTSC on one card
C. PAL on the second card
D. Closed caption on one card
E. Open caption on the second card
F. SD & HD Captioning Simultaneously
G. Two Different Video Formats Simultaneously
H. Re-insert Captions after format Conversion
I. Re-insert captions after video squeeze
J . Two Indepentant SMPE Time Code Inputs
The HDE-3000/2 contains two encoder cards. This product functions as two independent HDE3000 encoders
inside one chassis. Each independent encoder has its own video and time code connections, and both
encoders run simultaneously. Examples, user can encode an HD feed and an SD feed simultaneously., or
using the second card as a caption decode monitor.

HDE-3000 & HDE-3000/2, front panels are the same
HDEenc, HD SD SDI Encoder Card
The software automatically detects when it is running on a dual card unit and displays “HDE3000 DUAL Enc x”
in the title line of all of the menus (the “x” is a “1” or a “2” depending on which encoder you have selected).
The two internal encoders share the VGA displays, the front panel buttons, LED’s. and the COM ports.
The COM ports are available to both encoders, and can be cascaded to allow both encoders to use the same
Com Port.
