3.2.1
Input Setup
GPI Switches
Use this field to control the AFD function of each of the encoder’s GPI
switches. If an AFD code is selected, that code will be forced on the
output whenever the corresponding switch is triggered. Select ’Off’ to
reserve a GPI switch for caption relocation or other software modules.
For physical and electrical details on the GPI connector, please refer to
the HD490 product manual.
Network Automation Protocol
Check this box to enable AFD control through the encoder’s telnet-style
network automation socket. Only codes triggered from the GPI will have
higher priority than network automation data. Details on the automation
protocol can be found in the Appendix.
Upstream VANC Packet
Check this box to enable recovery of upstream encoded AFD codes in
VANC. If you uncheck the box all upstream VANC codes are ignored.
Upstream XDS Packet
Check this box to enable recovery of upstream encoded AFD codes in
XDS. To be recovered, upstream codes must have the same private packet
ID listed in the Output Setup packet ID field and be written with a com-
patible encoder device.
XDS Priority over VANC
Check this box to give recovered XDS codes priority over recovered
VANC codes when both are present. The default behavior (unchecked)
is to give VANC codes priority.
