General Description
Features:
SD/HD/3G SDI
XDS RAM (V-Chip)
Data Recovery
GPI Remote “Legalizer”
2 CEA-708 Services Converted from 608
Field Upgradeable
VANC Line Selection
Optional Dual Supplies
IP Captioning
Power off Bypass
4 Port Communications 2 Serial 2 IP Decodes CC1-CC4 or S1-S6
The SCE-492 is a standard definition, high definition, or three gigabits serial
digital interface closed caption encoder or shortened to SD/HD/3G SDI CC Encoder. It
will accept SD/HD/3G SDI transport streams and give three closed caption encoded
outputs with the option of one of them being decoded of the same format as the input.
For SD it will encode line 21/22 CEA-608 waveform and/or encodes SMPTE 334
Caption Data Packet (CDP). The Caption Data Packet will contain a header, CEA-608
data, CEA-708 data, caption service descriptor, and a footer. For HD and 3G level B it
will encode the caption data packet. The unit will pass ANC data untouched including
audio to the output.
The SDI outputs are re-clocked making the SDI output eye pattern generally
better than the input. It is a better re-clocker than most re-clocking Distribution
Amplifiers (DA). It has RAM that is reserved for XDS packets, the packets will be
inserted into CEA-608 field 2 based on XDS packet priority and field 2 availability. The
unit also has XDS menus for Parental Guidelines (V-Chip) and Transmission Station
Identification (TSID) packets. The RAM can be filled using V-Chip software.
It has 2 serial RS-232 ports, both with adjustable baud rates. It has 2 Ports that
are tunneled to the Ethernet connector. Allowing two IP caption connections at one
address. A menu allows you to select resend or redirect data from the Ethernet port to
the serial ports. Resend means the unit processes the data and sends the data out.
Redirect means the unit sends the data out but does not process the data.
It has a GPI remote activated Legalizer also called Weather Lift. With a menu
that allows you to select the amount of lines to be lifted. You can raise the lower 4 lines
up 2, 3, or 4 lines or raise all lines to the top 4 lines. Recently the FCC has mandated
that captions are not to be displayed over things like people’s names, school closings,
and so on. This has become a major issue with broadcasters. It now has a decoded
output and caption data recovery for quality monitoring.
The SCE-492 SDI closed caption encoder dubbed “Superior Encoder” is the
second unit to be launched in the Chameleon Series. The idea of the Chameleon
Series is that one product can be configured into many different units just by changing
the software. Similar to a chameleon changing color based on its environment hence
the name Chameleon Series.

Operating Instructions
The SCE-492 for the most part is plug and play, should the need arise there are
menus to allow you to change the settings. You should familiarize yourself with the
Information Display.All four communication ports are always active so you will not have
to turn them on or off. The default serial ports protocol is, a baud rate of 1200, 8 bits,
parity none, stop bits 1, and flow control none. Optional external serial modems are
available.
The SCE-492 will encode captions according to the preferred method of the
SMPTE 334 standard into a caption data packet CDP. This packet contains the CDP
header, CDP closed caption data section which includes CEA-608 data and CEA-708
data, closed caption service information section (Optional), and a CDP footer. The unit
will receive CEA-608 data and convert that to CEA-708 data then encode both of them
into the CDP. When encoding, any pre-existing CEA-708 caption data packets will be
deleted.
For basic encoding the commands are the same as any other Link encoder like
the PCE-845. The difference in the commands is in the fields. The CDP requires that
both fields are present even if you are just encoding field 1, field 2 will have to be re-
encoded or nulled (zeroes). Field encoding control is based on a controlling port so
field 1 can be encoded by one port and field 2 can be encoded by another port. This
would allow you to encode CEA-608 CC1, CEA-708 S1, CEA-608 CC3, and CEA-708
S2 at the same time using two ports.
Each field controlling port is automatically assigned to the last port that it
received a field initialization command from, ignoring any other field data from other
port(s) until the next port receives that field initialization. Up to four captioners can be
connected and swap control of the encoder just by initializing it. This could be useful
when doing live captioning for long periods of time.
A new mode has been added called “ready”, this just means the unit is ready to
receive data thru its selected port and when it receives a CEA-608 captioning command
it begins encoding. This way you could have voice recognition captioning software
sending data to one port and a teleprompter set on another port. If your teleprompter is
set up correctly, when your teleprompter starts the SCE-492 will start encoding the
teleprompter data and when the teleprompter stops the SCE-492 would start encoding
the voice recognition data.
A decoder has been added to one of the outputs for quality monitoring. The
decoder also has the ability to send caption data out (data recovery) one of its four
ports. A new mode has been added to data recovery called Alternate codes. In this
mode the unit sends out an alternate character instead of special character also sends
out a space, a carriage return, and a line feed for new lines instead of caption codes.
This is done to make the recovered data more legible.

SCE-492 11
IP Captions
Unlike other encoders this unit has two ports tunneled to the Ethernet connector
allowing for two simultaneous IP caption connections. The Ethernet port would have to
be connected to a gateway router that has port forwarding setup. The units default IP
address is 192.168.0.235, port number 10001 is Ethernet port 1, and port number
10002 is Ethernet port 2. The Ethernet connector of the SCE-492 has a web page that
allows you to change network settings of the device.
You would give your captioner your WAN (Internet) IP address, not the one listed
above unless on a LAN, and port number 10001 or port number 10002. These
connections are for caption data only the captioner would still have to get the audio for
the program that is being captioned. There are many ways that a captioner can get the
audio. It will be up to you and your captioner to determine how the audio will be sent
and received.
IP captioning is becoming the preferred method of captioners and broadcasters
for live captioning. There are many reasons that IP captioning has become the
preferred method of live captioning. No need for plain old telephone (POTs) line, these
types of lines are becoming less available. No modems, no phone lines, no long distant
charges, and no caption server fees. This means less equipment and less cables that
can fail. For the most part the captioner and broadcaster would be using Internet
connections they already have.
A unique feature of the Ethernet ports is rerouting, meaning that data can be
redirected or resent out the serial port(s). Resending means the unit will take this data
in and process it, encode it, and send that data out the selected serial port(s). See the
Resending Example. Redirecting means the unit will not process the data, it will just
redirect it out the selected serial port(s). See the Redirecting Example. These features
allows control of multiple encoders or even to serial control some other hardware thru
IP.
If you have an IP address conflict from another device which has the same IP
address, different network setup, or multiple SCE-492’s on same network, the unit has a
built in web page that allows you to change network settings. See the Changing IP
Address section. Your network administrator should know how to setup the gateway
router for port forwarding. There is a section on Port Forwarding that could be useful to
your network administrator.

1. Power Supply: indication using simulated LEDs:we can see that power supply 1 is
on and power supply 2 is off.
2. Serial Port: data received indication using simulated LEDs:we can see that both
serial ports are not receiving data.
3. Ethernet Port: data received indication using simulated LEDs:we can see that both
IP ports are not receiving data.
4. Encoding: indication using a simulated LED:we can see that unit is not encoding,
captions are being bypassed. When encoding it will encode both fields if not
receiving data for a field then it will encode nulls for that field.
5. Fields encode mode and controlling port: This area will show the active encode
mode and active controlling port for both fields, along with XDS and GPI indications.
Encode modes are Bps (bypass), Rdy (ready), Ins (insert), Nw2 (newswire 2 line),
or Nw3 (newswire 3 line). Controlling ports are S1 (serial port 1), S2 (serial port 2),
E1 ([IP 1] Ethernet port 1), or E2 ([IP 2] Ethernet port 2). None means no encode
mode no controlling port, RmtBp (remote bypass) means GPI remote bypass is
activated, Re_en means this field is being re-encoded, Null means blanks are being
inserted on this field, and Test means the unit is preforming an encoder test. An X
will show as the second to last character if an XDS packet is being inserted. A “↑”
will show as last character if Legalizer is activated.
The above is an example to help in reading the display. From the top line we can
see that both power supplies are working, Serial port 1 is receiving data, Serial port 2,
Ethernet port 1, and Ethernet port 2 are not receiving data, and the unit is encoding both
fields. From the bottom line we can see that field 1 encode mode is insert with serial
port 1 controlling it, field 2 encode mode is newswire 3-line roll-up with serial port 2
controlling it, XDS packets are being inserted, and the legalizer is activated.
