Inserter

This card can insert several data values in the VBI of the outputs. With the following settings you can choose what you want to insert.

SMPTE ST 352 Payload Identifier

The SMPTE ST 352 Video Payload Identifier, also known as VPID, is transported within the ancillary data of an SDI stream. The ancillary packet is placed in the HANC space. This packet contains 4 bytes of data.

There are two versions of the standard. The first was published in 2011 and the second in 2013. The revision can be seen within the 4 bytes.

When the 2GF100 is not processing the incoming VPID packets, they will be passed transparently. When it generates the packets, the 2GF100 will output VPID packets using the 2013 standard.

Setting Description
S352_Insert S352_Insert enables the Video Payload Identifier insertion in the HANC space. It enables the user to insert or passthrough (On) the S352 Dynamic range and colorspace payload. When this menu item is set to On (default), it will generate a SMPTE ST352-2013 packet and overwrite the existing one (for both Luminance and Chrominance).When it is set to Off, it will pass the packet to the output as-is (only on Luminance).In HD 1080i for ATC-LTC transparency, the user may switch it Off to pass the ATC-LTC HANC packet on line 10.
Output-Matrix

This setting will only work if S352_Insert is set to On. It enables you to set the colorspace in REC709 (default) or REC2020. When set to either REC709 or REC2020, the S352 data is included in the s352 packet. (This does not change anything in the picture.)

HDR_Curve_Out

The dynamic range is the range of information between the lightest and darkest part of an image, also known as an image’s luminosity. This setting enables you to set the dynamic range in standard dynamic range SDR (default), HLG, PQ or SLOG3. With all of these settings, the S352 data is included in the S352 packet. (This does not change anything in the picture.)

Bit_Depth_Out

Bit depth is the range of bits being used. This setting enables you to set the bit depth to Narrow (8bits) or Full (10bits). When set to either Narrow (default) or Full, it includes this data in the S352 packet. (This does not change anything in the picture.)

S2016-Line With this setting you select a line in the VBI to where the AFD (SMPTE 2016) data should be written. Lines 0 till 31 are selectable. By default it is set to line 17.
Timecode_ins

Here you can set if the timecode on the inputs should be copied to the outputs (On), or to copy the timecode from input 1 to input 2 (Copy 1 => 2), or to copy the timecode from input 2 to input 1 (Copy 2 => 1). You can also turn Off timecode insertion.

Default is On.

VITC_Ln_625 When VITC_Ln_Ctrl is set to Manual, with this setting you can select a line between 7 and 22 when the output is SD625. Default is line 19.
VITC_Ln_525 When VITC_Ln_Ctrl is set to Manual, with this setting you can select a line between 7 and 22 when the output is SD525. Default is line 10.
