EN530 HDTV Smart Encoder IV 

Rear Panel 

 

The Encoder’s main configuration and operation is controlled through the rear 
panel input ports. A connection diagram for a typical setup is shown below, 
followed by a more detailed description of available options for each 
connection. For more detailed descriptions of serial port operation and 
configuration, see pages 8 and 26. 
 

 

 

Line Cord    

AC power input. 

 

SD-SDI In 

Input for serial component digital Standard Definition SMPTE 259M (SDI) 
video source. 

 

HD-SDI In 

Input for HD-SDI SMPTE 292M video source for VANC data recovery and 
encoding. Supported HD video formats include1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480p, and 
24psf. 

 

MA 

Standard installed modem data port. Connect to a phone line to enable dial-up 
data entry. 

 

P1 

Can be configured as a third RS232 general purpose data port or as a special 
purpose CEA-708 data port supporting SMPTE 333M or Grand Alliance 
protocols for connection to the captioning port of an ATSC encoder. 
Configuration of this port is described in Section 3 under the “HD Output 
Types” heading. 

 

P2 

General purpose serial data port for caption or XDS input. Configurable for 
RS232 or RS422 operation.
