Environmental Information
The CDP-100 complies with the European Union's RoHS Directive. This stands for "the restriction of the use
of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". This Directive bans the placing on the
EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium,
mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)
flame retardants.
The equipment that you purchased required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production.
Despite compliance with the RoHS directive, it may nevertheless contain hazardous substances that could
impact health and the environment.
To avoid the potential release of those substances into the environment and to diminish the need for the
extraction of natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. These systems will
reuse or recycle most of the materials from your end-of-life equipment in an environmentally friendly and
health conscious manner.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use these systems.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please contact your local or
regional waste administration.

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
The following features make the CDP-100 ideal solution for detecting and identifying errors in the captioning
of a video source:
•CDP Errors are overlaid on the source video with easy to read text descriptions.
•Caption channel text may be overlaid for a visual inspection.
•Raw data capture with packet by packet analysis available via CDP Analyze .
•Downloadable error log with easy to read, time stamped error descriptions.
•Errors can drive GPIOs to trigger external devices, within one video frame time.
•Individual errors can be set for severity and whether they should trigger errors or warnings.
•Video bypass capability with ONG-MDL-R01, R21 or R23 rear module.
•Fits openGear DFR-8300 series frames.
•the CDP-100 is compatible with the openGear frame’s SNMP option, allowing monitoring with
third-party SNMP software systems. For more information and to obtain MIBs, contact Ross
Technical Support.
