Introduction
1.1
Product Description
The HD1490 Encoder Card brings the functionality of EEG’s industry
standard Smart Encoder to the openGear®platform, providing closed
captioning and XDS encoding in a single modular frame card operating
on the openGear®platform. The frame card utilizes the user friendly
DashBoard software, which is available for Windows, Mac and Linux op-
erating systems and streamlines setup of the HD1490.
Like the 1RU HD492, the HD1490 streamlines and integrates the Line
21/HD-VANC encoding process into one powerful solution, supporting a
wide variety of powerful ancillary data software on-board. Ideal appli-
cations for the HD1490 include local newscasts performing captioning
through a teleprompter, A/V events with an in-person transcriptionist,
and caption encoding onto video signals that will go direct-to-streaming.
Easily updatable, the HD1490’s capabilities can be expanded as needed
with new features and drivers as needed.
