Section 1: Introduction
Product Description
The 491-series Smart Encoder is a next-generation digital closed captioning solution designed
to streamline and integrate the Line 21/HD-VANC encoding process into one powerful box.
The HD491 revolutionizes closed caption encoding with the introduction of our
CCMatch™
timing module (
Page 33
) which eliminates latency between captions and audio in program
video output. All 491 encoders ship with the iCap™ internet captioning package; other
software, including CCPlay™, XDS Xpress™, and custom packages, are available separately
and can be installed in the field at any time. In addition to its new features, the 491 includes
the same industry-standard closed caption and XDS data entry functions as previous Smart
Encoder generations, available through two serial ports and a dial-up modem.
