9064 PRODUCT MANUAL
9064-OM (V4.1)
Provides support for closed captioning setup.
Note:
When receiving HD-SDI, both CEA 608 and CEA 708 are supported, with CEA 608 and CEA 708 (containing CEA 608 
packets) converted to line 21 closed captioning on outputs down-converted to SD (on up-convert of SD, only CEA 608 
closed captioning is generated).
• Closed Captioning On/Off
Turns on or turns off the Closed Captioning output.
Note: • When set to On, closed captioning is set to standard default line
number. See Ancillary Data Line Number Locations and Ranges 
(p. 3-8).
• The card does not check for conflicts on a given line number.
Make certain the selected line is available and carrying no other 
data.
• Closed captioning line may contain active unintended data even if
closed captioning is set to Off. If closed captioning is not to be 
used, it is recommended to use the Top Line Suppression 
control to eliminate the possibility of this unintended data from 
appearing in the active video area.
(See Scaler tab (p. 3-12) Top line suppression control for more 
details.)
Closed Captioning
• Closed Captioning Input Status
Displays incoming Closed Captioning status as follows:
• If closed captioning is present, a message similar to the example shown
left is displayed. Also displayed is the VANC line number of the incoming 
closed captioning packet (or SD waveform-based VANC line number).
• If no closed captioning is present in the video signal, Not Present or
Disabled is displayed.
Note: • Packet closed captioning status Captioning Rejected Due To
message can appear due to the items described below. The 
closed captioning function assesses cdp_identifier, 
cdp_frame_rate, ccdata_present, and caption_service_active 
items contained in the packet header to make the determinations 
listed below. Refer to CEA-708-B for more information.
• caption service is marked as inactive display indicates bit in
packet from upstream source may inadvertently be set as 
inactive. In this case, closed captioning data (if present) is still 
processed and passed by the card as normal.
• The closed captioning function does not support PAL closed
captioning standards.
• Closed Captioning HD Output Line
Selects the VANC line number (9 thru 41) for the closed caption data 
when the output is HD.
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.
