Overview
The CDP-100 extracts and analyses the CDP caption content of a video signal . It is designed to find all the
errors which might cause problems with captions passing through the broadcast chain to television receivers.
The errors are clearly explained with the explanation overlaid on the video and logged to a file. Time stamps
are used to determine when an error occurred and counters indicate how often the error occurred. Logged
information may be viewed or uploaded to a PC for manipulation in a database or spreadsheet. For deeper
analysis, errors may be captured in a binary file of CDPs, uploaded to the PC and viewed with a CDP File
Analyzer program.
As a member of the openGear family:
•The CDP-100 shares a common control interface, known as DashBoard, with a broad array of
other products.
•The CDP-100 is housed in the openGear DFR-8300 series frames. It is compatible with both 10-
slot and 20-slot frames.
Features

At the top of the screen there is a status bar.
The video type is the leftmost item. In this example 720P 59.94.
Caption Present indicates if the caption DID and SDID (61/01) is present in the incoming signal and will be
green for present or red for missing.
Caption Status indicates the quality of the CDP packets. In this case several errors are present causing the
status indicator to display red.
On the far right of the status bar is CDP capture indicator. A green Cont indicates the CDP-100 is currently
capturing packets. A red Stop indicates the CDP-100 is not currently capturing packets.
Directly underneath the status bar is a list of errors currently detected by CDP-100 in the incoming video. If the
error is persistent (present in every CDP) then the error message will stay on the screen. Otherwise it will stay
on the screen for five seconds and then be removed.
If caption display 1 and/or 2 have been selected they will appear in the lower part of the screen beneath the
error conditions.

About Rear Modules
Video bypass is available with the ONG-MDL-R01,R21 and R23 rear modules. A monitor output is
available with the ONG-MDL-R02 and R22 modules.
Rear modules ONG-MDL-R02 and R22 have isolated GPIO outputs and ONG-MDL-R01,R21 and R23
produce 0-3.3V logic levels.
Board Installation
Use the following procedure to install the CDP-100 an openGear distribution frame:
Notice — It is recommended to use a frame with the cooling fan option in all cases, in order to
allow all slots to be used without exceeding heat dissipation limits.
1. Refer to the DFR-8300 Series Frames User Manual to ensure that the frame is properly
installed according to instructions.
2. After selecting the desired frame installation slot, hold the CDP-100 card by the edges and
carefully align the card edges with the slots in the frame.
3. Fully insert the card into the frame until the rear connection plugs are properly seated on the
midplane and rear modules.
This completes the procedure for installing the CDP-100 in an openGear distribution frame.
BNC Labels
Affix a connector label (if supplied) to the rear of the rack frame at the position occupied by the CDP-100.
Some rear modules do not require a label, as the connector names are silkscreened directly onto the rear
module itself.

the right column are 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.
Figure 3. Jack Designations for the CDP-100 with Suitable Rear Modules

CDP-100 User Manual (Iss. 02) Installation and Setup •2-5
VIDEO Input (May be labelled “VID IN” or “SDI IN”)
This jack accepts a 292M serial digital video signal. The CDP-100 requires this input in all cases.
The input signal is internally terminated in 75 ohms when the CDP-100 is installed.
VIDEO Output (May be labelled “VID OUT” or “SDI OUT”)
This jack carries the output of the CDP-100, with caption status displayed on-screen. When the
CDP-100 card is removed from its slot or the bypass switch is activated, the ONG-MDL-R01,
R21 or R23 rear module bypasses Video Input to Video Output directly.
VIDEO Monitor Output
This jack carries an unswitched copy of the same signal that is output on BNC3. When the CDP-
100 card is removed from its slot or the card is in bypass, this output is not driven.
LTC Input
This jack accepts an LTC time source which the CDP-100 can use as a time source.
Program Output 2 (May be Labelled “VID2 OUT”)
This jack carries a second output from the CDP-100. The overlay ability on BNC 3 and 10 is
programmable under the Settings tab. CDP-100 cards with serial numbers less than 107469 do
not have this output.
Rear Module Styles
In the DFR-8310 series frame, each rear module is connected to one circuit card and occupies
one-tenth of the space on the rear of the frame.
The DFR-8321 series frame has twenty slots in the same space as the ten slots of the DFR-8310
series frame. Each rear module corresponds to two slots of the frame. Rear modules that can
accommodate one card are called “full”; a DFR-8321 series frame with ten “full” rear modules
can hold ten cards.
There are also “split” rear modules that can accommodate two cards. Each card is connected to
half of the connectors on the rear module. A DFR-8321 series frame with ten “split” rear modules
can hold twenty cards.
The ONG-MDL-R01 and R02 are full rear modules for the DFR-8310 series frame; each can
accommodate one CDP-100 card.
The ONG-MDL-R21 and R22 are full rear modules for the DFR-8321 series frame with the same
functionality as the R01 and R02; each can accommodate one CDP-100 card which must be in an
even-numbered slot (2, 4, 6 etc).
The ONG-MDL-R23 is a split rear module for the DFR-8321 series frame that can accommodate
two CDP-100 cards. Its two columns of jacks are labelled ODD and EVEN to indicate which slot
they are connected to. For example, assume that an R23 rear module is installed in the position
corresponding to slots 1 and 2 of the frame. The jacks labelled ODD will be connected to the card
in slot 1, and those labelled EVEN will be connected to the card in slot 2. If it were installed at
slots 7 and 8, ODD would connect to 7 and EVEN would connect to 8.
