1.0 General
Thank you for purchasing Hall Research’s CC-101 or CC-101-PRO
Closed Caption Decoder and Text Video Overlay Unit.
These units can capture the closed captioning text (CC1 through CC4),
information and then overlay it on the video output. They can also display
any user defined text anywhere on the video. On the CC-101-PRO units,
the closed captioning text can also be streamed out the serial port and
captured on another device.
The closed captioning overlay can be turned on or off from the front
panel. Furthermore, the unit can decode CC1 through CC4.
The unit is equipped with a serial port, through which the unit can display
user defined text anywhere on the screen. The unit also has EEPROM
(internal non-volatile flash memory) in which the user store up to 10
strings of data and automatically display them either every time the unit is
turned on or the playback can be activated via the front panel.
Free Windows™ software is available that allows the user to define and
store text in the unit’s memory for playback. This powerful software
allows timers so the text can stay for predefined time on the screen. You
can also configure the unit to end and freeze the last displayed text on the
screen or to loop the playback from the beginning ad infinitum. Also,
during the playback, you can turn on Closed Caption decoding for long
periods of time. This makes the unit to be useable as a digital signage
playback device where either constantly or periodically you can display
stored messages.
The CC-101 has both S-Video and Composite Video inputs and outputs.
There is a front panel switch that you can use to select the input that you
are going to use. If you select the CV input then you must use the CV
output and if you use the S-Video input, then you should use the S-video
output. Do not use the unit to convert from one standard to another.
The CC-101-Pro also has progressive outputs of either component video
(Y Pb Pr 480p/576p) or VGA (RGBHV 640x480/800x600). There is
switch on the front panel to set the progressive output mode as either
component video or VGA. The progressive output resolutions are based
on the input standard (NTSC/PAL).
