Scoreboard Interface for Stadiums (Caption Text Server Module)
The Scoreboard Interface module is an add-on component that produces a TCP/IP-accessible stream of the
decoded caption output from the Master video signal.
To determine if Text Server is installed on your unit, access your encoder’s web interface, look for an entry that
says Text Server on the left side menu and select it. If you are prompted for a license key, the feature is not
installed and can be purchased by contacting the EEG sales team.
To access closed caption data from the encoder unit with the Scoreboard Interface installed, utilize a TCP/IP
socket interface configured with the following settings.
✔
For the IP address to connect to, use the IP that you have set on the front panel on the decoder
✔
unit System Setup > Network > IP Address. The receiving unit must be a member of the same subnet as
the encoder.
✔
For the port number to connect to, use 2400.
If these settings are correct, the Scoreboard Interface should accept your connection immediately. At this point,
you will receive ASCII text data over the connection which is a copy of the current CC1 caption data.
The output text is formatted using blank spaces and line breaks to approximate the intended appearance of the
CC1 captioning on a 608-compliant decoder. When you are ready to stop receiving the caption text, simply
disconnect at any time. You may connect multiple clients to the Streaming Caption Text Server simultaneously,
but it is better to remove connections that are not in use, as a very large number of simultaneous connections
could eventually have a negative effect on the system resource usage on the encoder or decoder unit.
