HD490 Smart Encoder

Section 1: Introduction

Product Description

The 490-series Smart Encoder is a next-generation digital closed

captioning solution designed to streamline and integrate the Line

21/HD-VANC encoding process into one powerful box. The 490

revolutionizes closed caption encoding with a compact and robust new

platform designed to support a wide variety of powerful ancillary data

software on-board. All 490 encoders ship with the iCap™ internet

captioning package; other software, including CCPlay™, XDS

Xpress™, and custom packages, are available separately and can be

installed in the field at any time. In addition to its new features, the 490

includes the same industry-standard closed caption and XDS data entry

functions as previous Smart Encoder generations, available through two

serial ports and a dial-up modem.
