CineView HD Pro Decoder Installation and User Guide
Introduction
Comprehensive, up-to-date SDK information and documentation can be found by
examining the
VelaApiReference.chm
Help-formatted file located in the Vela
system software CD-ROM.
Be sure to review the “readme” files on the system software CD-ROM for the
very latest information on installation and performance issues.
New for Version 2.3
• 4:2:2 HD/SD decoding (purchasable option).
• Multi-program transport stream support, allowing playback and control of
multi-program transport streams. The API property
Decoder.Multi-
Stream.ProgramMasterIndex
can be used to change which program is the
active video stream. See
VelaApiReference.chm
for details and usage.
This enhancement includes a tiling feature that allows simultaneous display
of multiple video programs on the decoder output of the CineView HD Pro.
There are several API properties added that allow the user to control and
view the different modes available for displaying a multi-program transport
stream. There is also a new API method added for programmatic control of
the tiling functionality. It is available as an example with typical settings in
the
CineViewClient
sample playback application.
• Closed Captioning/VBI Insertion on line 23. Properties to control Closed
captioning enable/disable and byte reordering have been added to the API
properties for the CineView HD Pro. Note that the Cineview HD series of
decoders support ATSC closed captioning only.
