S-Video Closed Caption Decoder
C R S ystem T ools
The VSCC S-Video Closed-Caption decoder gives integrators a simple, reliable way to decode and display closed caption
text in both S-Video and composite video formats. Employing technology developed for the 232-STS S-Video TV Tuner, the
VSCC provides digital 2-D adaptive Y/C separation for superior S-Video signals from a composite NTSC video input.
Front-panel settings can select eight Closed Caption modes and remote control operation. A captive-screw control port
accepts a closure for Captions On/Off, sends a logic-level output for sensing video presence, and allows remote DC power.
Designed for versatile installation, the compact VSCC can be operated on a tabletop, attached to a display, or rack-
mounted 3-across, mixed with other CR System Tools using the optional single-rack height RK3 Rack Kit.
