Upon request, it is possible to customize 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 customization, 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 customization file.
This specific configuration file will be activated using the Custom VANC grab 1
and 2 parameters in the SHIFT-F2 screen.
