CC1260 iCap™ Interface Card
4
Connecting to Remote Encoders
The CC1260 iCap™ Interface Card allows broadcasters and caption ser-
vice providers to enter closed captions into an encoder that does not
directly support EEG’s iCap™ system, while still leveraging many of the
advantages of iCap™. Captioners can connect to the CC1260 using the
same workflow they use with other iCap™-enabled products, while ad-
ministrators can monitor job status and other information via familiar
iCap™ administrative tools.
The CC1260 can clone iCap™ caption data and commands over both
TCP/IP and RS-232. The IP address and port of a remote encoder that’s
accessible over TCP/IP can be entered into the DashBoard interface, as
described in section 3.2.1 above. Serial port P2 simultaneously defaults
to cloning all incoming iCap™ data via RS-232; see the Serial Ports page
in the CC1260 web interface for connection parameters, including baud
rate and parity.
