Upon request, it is possible to customise the decoding of the SMPTE 334M data.
If you wish to keep uncompressed 8-bit data in the VANC data space, you can
select two lines - L
a
and L
b
- on which N
a
and N
b
bytes can be saved per field
(frame for 720p).
The saved data are left aligned after SAV (Start of Active Video) and the
maximum number of data saved (N
a
+ N
b
+ regular SMPTE 334M packet) must not
exceed 2014.
If you require this customisation, please contact your EVS representative to
specify the number of bytes you want to keep and on which lines. EVS will provide
you with a specific customisation file.
This specific configuration file will be activated using the Custom VANC grab 1
and 2 parameters in the SHIFT-F2 screen.

OMPATIBILITY INFORMATION
SDI Video streams (SD or HD) recorded with SMPTE 334M must be played by an
server running a version equal or higher to Multicam 8.03 to keep the 334M
information.
If you use other EVS equipment (XFile, CleanEdit, MediaXchange), please make
sure that you use the versions of software compatible with Multicam 8.03.
