DE1285 Caption Decoder/VANC Monitor
1 Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The DE1285 Caption Decoder/VANC Monitor offers a highly comprehen-
sive VANC monitoring solution in a single modular frame card operat-
ing on the openGear platform. The powerful DE1285 is an all–purpose
closed caption decoder which creates an open caption display for mon-
itoring CEA–708 data quality and full standards compliance, while also
providing an extensive VANC monitoring suite. The DE1285 can be con-
figured from the user friendly DashBoard software, which is available
for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. In addition to produc-
ing broadcast quality open–captioned video, the DE1285 decodes a wide
array of metadata types, including AFD (Active Format Descriptors), au-
dio metadata and XDS. The DE1285 also features HANC embedded AES
audio decoding with channel levels, peaks, and phase detection.
The DE1285 comes equipped with a powerful Web-based VANC Analysis
Tool for viewing and capturing live VANC data, sorted by service type,
DID/SDID or line number. The DE1285 Web Tools offer an efficient new
way to monitor VANC packets, providing programmable triggers with
logging for packet drop-outs or changes, as well as other features.
The EEG DE1285 offers a comprehensive VANC monitoring solution and
closed caption decoder with the proven quality and full standards com-
pliance of the industry’s leading provider of closed caption decoding
equipment.

3 Decoder Operation
3.1 DashBoard Menus
The DashBoard software is used to configure layout options, decoder
settings, networking, and audio monitoring. Version 3.0.0 can be down-
loaded from the following URL: http://www.eegent.com/download/Ross_
Video/Dashboard/ Once you have successfully installed the DashBoard
tool, open the program to find information about the DE1285 and to
configure your card.
There are two main sections in the DashBoard interface: the Status in-
formation on the left side and the Setup menu on the right side. At the
bottom of the DashBoard there are four general purpose buttons. The
Refresh button updates the fields on the DashBoard to reflect the card’s
current state. The Upload button prompts the user to select an upgrade
file to apply to the card. The Reboot button restarts the card itself. The
Close button closes the frame card interface.
The upper section on the left shows the Card State and the Connection
status, each of which has an indicator light and description to describe
the card’s status. There is a more detailed tab labeled Status Informa-

tion below the two basic indicators that provides information about the
card’s version, specifically the build number and firmware version and
the status of two of the I/O ports, source input and ethernet.
The setup menu on the right half of the tool is broken up into four sub-
menus: Layout Selection, Decoder Setup, System Setup and Audio Mon-
itor Configuration.
3.1.1 Layout Selection
Current Layout

DE1285 Caption Decoder/VANC Monitor
HD/3G Service
Selects the service that is decoded to create the
HD/3G caption display on the decoder output
if HD/3G video input is present. The DE1285
can display 708 caption Services 1 through 6, or
608 compatibility data for caption channels CC1
through CC4.
SD Service
Selects the service that is decoded to create the
SD caption display on the decoder output if SD
video input is present. The DE1285 can display
608 caption channels CC1 through CC4.
708 Font
Selects the display font for the decoder output.
Choose “default” to see the font style as it is
encoded in the 708 caption data. Fonts are only
selectable when a 708 caption service is selected
for decoding.
708 Size
Selects the size of the display text for the de-
coder output. Choose “default” to see the text
size as it is encoded in the 708 caption data.
Text sizes are only selectable when a 708 caption
service is selected for decoding.
708 Opacity
Selects the opacity of the caption display for
the decoder output. Choose “default” to see the
colors and opacity as they are encoded in the 708
caption data. Opacity is only selectable when a
708 caption service is selected for decoding.
Subtitle Mode
Turns subtitle mode on or off when 708 captions
are in use. Subtitle mode removes the black
background and displays yellow text with a black
shadowed outline. This feature is useful for cre-
ating easy–to–read subtitles.

3.2 Web Tools Suite
The Web Tools module is a high-powered network-driven remote appli-
cation for the DE1285 that provides new ways to view VANC data, as
well as advanced configuration and monitoring tools. To use Web Con-
figuration, the Decoder first must be connected to a 100-Base LAN, and
configured with a valid IP address and subnet mask for that LAN through
the front panel Network menu. Once the decoder has been given an ad-
dress, access the web tools by typing the Decoder’s IP address into a
web browser from any computer on the same LAN.
Using an intuitive interface, the Web Tools module displays the detailed
options tabs on the upper left hand side while showing the current video
standard selected on the upper right hand side. Below the video stan-
dard on the right side, the error status is displayed in a continuously
updated list which can be hidden or expanded by clicking on the arrow
button located at the top of the error list. This list will briefly display
any current video errors that appear on–screen. There is also a Clear
Errors button that clears past errors and restarts the error count.
Below the error status display on the left is the System Info button,
which displays the version number of each software component of the
DE1285 to make sure the current software loaded is up to date.
To the right of the System Info button is the ANC Packet Key button
which provides a fully customizable reference for seeing which DID/SDID
value maps to which service.Pre-defined DID/SDID values are listed in
