    HD VITC

    Reply Contact

    Guys,

    I know this is a stupid question (which I just realised that I don't know) but, what are the standard lines for VITC in HD (1080/50i and 1080/59.94)?

    Can't find the answer anywhere.


    Cheers.

    I wasn't aware there was such a thing.  I would have thought that it only applied to analog formats.

     Close Captionining in HD is carried as anxilliary data in the HAN/VANC areas of the signal. VITC is an analog format.

    See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancillary_data

    Guys, thanks for the response, but now I am confused.

    On both our SR and HDCAM decks there are VITC menus:

    610 VITC (SD)

    611 VITC Pos1 (N)  Line 16

    612 VITC Pos2 (N)  Line 18

    616 VITC Pos1 (P)  Line 19

    617 VITC Pos2 (P)  Line 21

     

    These are set to their default, so if HD doesn't have VITC, why the menus?  Are these just for their DownConverts?

    Yes, it appears that these settings determine which line VITC is inserted on output (downconvert).

    This and more exciting information in the manual:
