NC packets that are inserted in one or both fields of an interlaced video signal or one or two frames of a progressive signal Some services such as AFD contain a single packet whereas others such as audio metadata may contain two or more VANC packets The term packet is used to designate any of these combinations of VANC packets that is assigned to a video format for one of the CMI 100 s four services Specifying a GPIO Condition The GPIO Condition selector allows you to specify which GPIO condition if any will trigger transmission of the VANC packets that are part of this service The selector only allows you to select GPIO contacts that are present refer to the section GPIOs on page 2 7 for details on wiring these ports so that their presence is detected For example if only GPIO 1 is installed the selections available for GPIO Condition are Don t Care GPIO 1 Open and GPIO 1 Closed If you select GPIO 1 Closed the packets defined for this service will only be inserted when the GPIO 1 contacts are closed If you select Don t Care the packets will be inserted regardless of the state of the GPIOs Setting Priorities The Priority buttons are used to specify what to do when the input contains VANC data that has the same DID and SDID values in the same line as the service you are inserting Select Local Has Priority if you want to replace the incoming data by the service you define here for example because the incoming data is

15. al Users who need to add a variety of dynamically changing VANC services such as closed captioning should consider the Ross Video TES9 encoder The CMI 100 provides a number of innovative tools for defining and selecting metadata services in order to simplify your workflow For example e possible to specify a set of VANC services to be inserted for each expected video type In this way a post production house might define a standard metadata configuration for one or more specific clients that are triggered automatically by the presence of the specified video formats e VANC services can also be triggered by contact closures on rear panel GPIO connectors e Constant metadata packets can be authored using the Ross Video VANC MetaGenerator software application then uploaded into the CMI 100 using DashBoard e Packets can also be captured from the video input The user interface provides controls that allow the user to select packets from a list of those that are present in the input and save them to non volatile memory for later use Asamember of the openGear family the CMI 100 shares a common control interface known as DashBoard with a broad array of other products To make configuration truly easy the CMI 100 offers a complete user interface through the DashBoard control program It also provides an SD SDI Heads Up Display When activated card status and parameters can be viewed and adjusted using the card mounte
