DE1285 Caption Decoder/VANC Monitor
3.2
Web Tools Suite
The Web Tools module is a high-powered network-driven remote appli-
cation for the DE1285 that provides new ways to view VANC data, as
well as advanced configuration and monitoring tools. To use Web Con-
figuration, the Decoder first must be connected to a 100-Base LAN, and
configured with a valid IP address and subnet mask for that LAN through
the front panel Network menu. Once the decoder has been given an ad-
dress, access the web tools by typing the Decoder’s IP address into a
web browser from any computer on the same LAN.
Using an intuitive interface, the Web Tools module displays the detailed
options tabs on the upper left hand side while showing the current video
standard selected on the upper right hand side. Below the video stan-
dard on the right side, the error status is displayed in a continuously
updated list which can be hidden or expanded by clicking on the arrow
button located at the top of the error list. This list will briefly display
any current video errors that appear on–screen. There is also a
Clear
Errors
button that clears past errors and restarts the error count.
Below the error status display on the left is the
System Info
button,
which displays the version number of each software component of the
DE1285 to make sure the current software loaded is up to date.
To the right of the
System Info
button is the
ANC Packet Key
button
which provides a fully customizable reference for seeing which DID/SDID
value maps to which service.Pre-defined DID/SDID values are listed in
