Video codec description

Vertical blanking interval compression

DV25 compression mode on the iVDR supports EIA/CEA-608-B Line 21 data
services (closed captioning). This also includes the XDS portions of EIA-608
(eXtended Data Services) which is used for program ratings, time of day, etc. In
DV25 mode, the M-Series decodes and records all line 21 data from both video fields,
inserts it in the DV data stream, and then on playout, regenerates the signals on line
21.

M-Series MPEG I-Frame Only compression has the same capabilities when you
select the

VBI plus picture

option in the Configuration dialog box. (

See “Selecting

video compression” on page 105

.) When VBI plus picture is selected, 32 additional

lines of the vertical blanking area are compressed along with the picture. This will
includes the closed captioning information transmitted in the vertical blanking
interval.

DV50 compression mode compresses additional VBI lines adjacent to the active
picture— 7.5 lines in 525 / 9 lines in 625. This includes the closed captioning (Line
21 data services and XDS) information transmitted in the vertical blanking interval.
