Parameter Controls
Name - A user-defined name can be given to each output for reference.
SMPTE 352 Payload - This parameter specifies a “payload packet” which can be included in a
serial stream as ancillary data. This indicates such things as the video standard, picture rate,
aspect ratio etc. of the video signal that stream carries. The button turns it on and off on each
output.
HANC/VANC - Ancillary Data can be output from any BNC output on the mainframe. These
buttons are used to either pass or block the ancillary data on each individual output.
The Masterpiece is able to receive Ancillary Data and pass the ancillary data out from any BNC
outputs from the mainframe.
The ancillary data is part of the horizontal and vertical blanking portion of the video signal and
is known as HANC (Horizontal Ancillary Data) and VANC (Vertical Ancillary Data). The
portion of the ancillary data we are interested in is Embedded Audio.
The embedded audio will usually be in the HANC portion of the video signal, and is the most
likely way that embedded audio data is received. There can also be other forms of information
embedded in the HANC data; such as, SMPTE 352 Payload identifier or SMPTE 2051 two-frame
marker.
VANC is also able to carry embedded audio in the form of Dolby E
TM
, VANC also carries other
ancillary data; such as video standard, aspect ratio, content name etc.
ANC From Source - when output is from a MIXER output:
• Ye s : The ancillary data will just follow PGM or PST, with cuts at the end of transitions. NOTE:
if the background DVE is enabled ANC is blanked!
• No: The Ancillary data (HANC & VANC) will come from the audio mixer, also adding DVE
delay compensation when the background DVE is enabled.
When an output is directly from a source:
• ANC From Source has no effect and the ANC data will be directly from the source.
