333 Serial Output 

In 333 serial output, the Encoder sends its 708 caption output to a serial 
output  queue  to  wait  for  transport  to  an  ATSC  encoder  supporting  the 
SMPTE 333M protocol. 333 is  a “pull” protocol; a properly configured 
ATSC encoder will send synchronization requests (SYNs) to the caption 
encoder, which then sends data chunks from the output queue to serial port 
P1.  For  complete  information  about  the  protocol,  refer  to  the  SMPTE 
333M specification. 

 

To  set  the  Encoder  for  333  serial  output,  simply  connect  P1  to  the 
captioning  port  of  a  SMPTE  333M  ATSC  encoder.  When  the  Encoder 
begins receiving SYNs, it will automatically enter the 333 output mode. 
P1  is  default-configured  on  startup  for  the  proper  communications 
settings to listen for 333 (38400 Baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and one stop 
bit).

 To

 set the Encoder for 333 output manually, and set P1 to the proper 

listening settings, use 

<CTRL+A>f 333 <ENTER>

.  

 
GA Serial Output

 

In GA serial output, the Encoder sends its 708 caption output to a serial 
output  queue  for  transport  to  an  ATSC  encoder  supporting  Grand 
Alliance (GA) protocol. Grand Alliance is a “push” protocol; the caption 
encoder sends data out through P1 as it becomes available, and the ATSC 
encoder  synchronizes  the  data  upon  reception.  The  Grand  Alliance 
transport protocol in use by EEG equipment is described on 

Page 45

. 

 

Since  the  caption  encoder  initiates  data  transfer  with  a  Grand  Alliance 
ATSC encoder, GA output must be begun manually. The command to set 
the  Encoder  for  GA  output  is 

<CTRL+A>f  ga  <ENTER>

.  This 

command  will  begin  the  GA  serial  output  and  set  P1  for  the  proper 
communications  rate  (19200  Baud,  8  data  bits,  no  parity,  and  one  stop 
bit).  

 

 

Note  that,  each  time  the  HD491  is  power  cycled,  the  default  startup 
behavior is to return to the HD VANC Insertion mode. If a SMPTE 333M 
ATSC encoder is connected to P1, 333 serial output will begin as soon as 
SYNs  are  received.  If  GA  serial  output  is  the  desired  mode  on  each 
startup, the GA output command can be stored in Startup Settings used 
the  web-based  Startup  Settings  Editor.  If  the  command  is  stored  in  the 
startup  settings,  GA  output  will  automatically  begin  each  time  the 
Encoder is power cycled.  

When either serial output mode is active, no VANC caption data will 
appear on the HD video output.
