Dolby Metadata

Extracts and preserves Dolby

®

metadata from the input

SDI, and in turn allows the metadata to be re-inserted in
the output SDI. This allows scaling and/or format
conversions without losing Dolby

®

metadata.

• VBI Metadata Removal

VBI Metadata Removal (On/Off) allows metadata to be removed (On)
even if the Scaler is not enabled. (This control is default set to Off, with
metadata being passed when Scaler is disabled)

Note: When the Scaler is enabled, Dolby metadata is automatically

removed. Set the Metadata Embedding control to On to re-insert
metadata as described above.

• Metadata Embedding

Metadata Embedding (On/Off) controls SMPTE 2020-1 metadata
embedding in the SDI video output.

• When set to On, metadata is extracted from the SDI input video,

buffered, and re-directed to the output SDI video.

• When set to Off, metadata is not embedded in the output SDI video.

• Metadata Output Line

Allows selection of SMPTE 2020-1 metadata

line location within the VANC

space for re-inserted Dolby

®

metadata.

(Range is 9 thru 41)

Note: • Although the output line drop-down will allow any choice within the

9 thru 41 range, the actual range is automatically clamped (limited
to) certain ranges to prevent inadvertent conflict with active
picture area depending on video format. See Ancillary Data Line
Number Locations and Ranges (p. 3-8)
for more information.

The card does not check for conflicts on a given line number.

Make certain the selected line is available and carrying no other
data unless existing metadata is to be intentionally overwritten.

Note:

The Metadata Output Source button in DashBoard™ is locked to Input Video for this card. With this function enabled,
the extracted metadata is always available in the SDI video output and on cards equipped with an appropriate Rear I/O
Module having a Dolby

®

metadata RS-485 connector.

• RS-485 Port Function Select

Selects function for shared RS-485 on card with +LTC option. For Dolby

®

metadata output on port, make sure control is set as shown here.
