The new array of HDCC cards provides the capability to emanate captions that may be used in both SD and HD announce and prolongation applications.

Within its HDCC OP-47 product range, Wohler has launched the new HDCC-OP47MULTI card, a subtitling answer for WST and OP-47 subtitling formats. The OP47MULTI provides encouragement for two eccentric channels on a singular card. For CEA-608 and CEA-708 closed-captioning formats, Wohler has expelled the HDCC-708MULTI, that moreover supports twin eccentric channels. Both cards offer full subtitling/captioning capabilities, inclusive encode, bridge, transcode, decode, guard and GPI encode/decode.

Wohler is moreover announcing its new Analysis Range of dual-channel decoding and monitoring solutions, inclusive the HDCC-OP47MON and HDCC-708MON, for review and monitoring of captions/subtitles in the WST/OP-47 or CEA-608/CEA-708 formats, respectively. Each card provides absolute program and hardware capabilities for review of captions/subtitles and related information with outmost logging and monitoring, together with onboard OSD monitoring. The cards capacitate eccentric dual-channel operation for possibly SD or HD with automatic format detection, and encouragement twin tender or CDP information descent by Ethernet or sequence ports. The cards moreover give two OSD-decoded caption/subtitle outputs that keep the initial video formats, with twin bypass-relay stable pass-through video outputs.

Each card provides absolute caption/subtitle encoding capabilities, inclusive encode, overpass and transcode. Also, the new HDCC-GPITX is a dual-channel SD/HD GPI transmitter/receiver that enables at the same time encoding and decoding in possibly VBI (SD) or VANC (HD) for up to 4 GPI cues per channel.

Another new associate in the Wohler HDCC Series is the HDCC-V608 closed-caption transcoder, a dual-channel transcoder answer that converts CEA-608 ("Line 21") information to and from VANC608 information according to SMPTE334 specifications. The card moreover supports send encoding and decoding in the CEA-608 or VANC608 formats.
