2 About the ADVC-HDM1

2-1 Features

z A compact unit compatible with HDV and HD-SDI conversion

The ADVC-HDM1 is a converter unit that can encode HD-SDI signals to the HDV standard or can decode and output the HDV standard as HD-SDI signals. It can be stored in a 19-inch half rack mount.

z Compatible with MPEG2-TS MP@HL encoding

Eight different bit rate types at a resolution of 1920 × 1080 can be specified. Further, when controlling with advanced AV/C commands, a bit rate from 11 Mbps to

40 Mbps can be specified.

z Simple to operate

The front panel of the ADVC-HDM1 includes a button for switching between encode and decode and a switch for setting the time code input. There are no complex operations, enabling anyone to use it.

z AV/C to RS-422 conversion function

The ADVC-HDM1 is equipped with a function for outputting an AV/C command to an RS-422 terminal, enabling deck control from the RS-422 terminal of the

ADVC-HDM1 when using a computer does not have an RS-422 terminal.

z Remote control with RS-232C

Remote control of the ADVC-HDM1 is possible via the RS-232C terminal.

z Two HD-SDI output systems

Two systems, a monitor and deck, can be connected to the ADVC-HDM1.

z Connecting to peripheral devices

The ADVC-HDM1 can be used as an encoder by connecting it to the HDCS-

3000, a high definition (HD) network transmission system made by Canopus. It can be used as an encoder for the live delivery of HD-SDI source with the MediaEdge-STB3, a video delivery set-top box made by Canopus.

z 1920 mode

Enables the encoding and decoding of resolution/frame rate 1920/59.94i images without diminishing the horizontal resolution.

?I

VB

?B

Check whether or not there is a current HD-SDI input

Format: “?I”

Status report: “1”: There is an input

“0”: There is no input

Specify the video bit rate for encoding

Format: “(Integer) VB”

Specify the bit rate value in units of 400 bps


E06: Command argument error (when a bit rate is not specified)

The video bit rate specified with this command is set during encoding when it is possible to specify the video bit rate with the DIP switch settings (SW6=SW7=SW8=ON).

When the bit rate was set during encode operation, encoding is restarted if SW6=SW7=SW8=ON.

When the bit rate was set during decode operation, the set value is enabled from the next encode operation.

Check the video bit rate that was specified during encoding

Format: “?B”

Status report: “(Bit rate value in units of 400 bps)”

Returns the bit rate value that is used when it is possible to specify the video bit rate with the DIP switch settings

Changing the Video Bit Rate

The following methods can be used for changing the video bit rate setting when using AV/C commands.

(1) Checking the Video Bit Rate Setting Value

Input ctype = STATUS(1) operand[5] = 0x01 operand[6] = 0xff operand[7] = 0xff operand[8] = 0xff operand[9] = 0xff

Output rcode = STABLE(0x0c) status (operand[4]) is one of the following:

0x00 succeeded

0x01 failed

0x02 invalid parameter

– 24 –


If successful, video bitrate in units of 400 bps are returned as follows: operand[6] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 0 – bit 7) operand[7] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 8 – bit 15) operand[8] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 16 – bit 23) operand[9] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 24 – bit 31)

(2) Video Bit Rate Setting

Input ctype = CONTROL(0) operand[5] = 0x02 operand[6] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 0 – bit 7) operand[7] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 8 – bit 15) operand[8] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 16 – bit 23) operand[9] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 24 – bit 31)

Output rcode = ACCEPTED(0x09) status (operand[4]) is one of the following:

0x00 succeeded

0x01 failed

0x02 invalid parameter
