Link Electronics IEC-788 2-field Closed Caption Decoder with Remote, NTSC PAL, Composite (BNC), Y/C

When it comes to advanced and sophisticated video processing, the IEC-788 2-field Closed Caption Decoder stands out as a high-tech solution. Designed for the NTSC/PAL system, this state-of-the-art device is capable of processing and displaying all standard closed caption format transmissions, including those specified by the FCC Report and Order on General Docket No. 91-1 and EIA-608 recommended practices for Captions, Text, and XDS.

The IEC-788 supports nine standard data channels: Caption channels 1 through 4 (CC1-CC4), Text modes 1 through 4 (T1 through T4), and Extended Data Services (XDS). This versatility makes it a suitable choice for a variety of applications. The device's operating modes are easily selectable from four front panel switches, ensuring user-friendly operation.

Housed in LINK's compact 700 Series chassis, the IEC-788 Closed Caption Decoder is both rugged and reliable, designed to withstand the demands of professional use. It can be conveniently rack-mounted alongside two other 700 Series units of any mix, optimizing space and efficiency.

The IEC-788 is engineered to process composite baseband video or S-Video, with a high impedance looping composite video input and standard levels S-Video. It features a complementary differential input amplifier that assures high common mode rejection, while its phase-linear keyer cleanly inserts decoded characters into the video image. Differential gain and phase are well within 0.1% and 0.1½ respectively, ensuring high-quality output.

With its remote control capabilities, the IEC-788 Closed Caption Decoder offers easy and convenient operation. The device is compatible with both NTSC and PAL formats, as well as composite (BNC) and Y/C, making it a versatile and innovative solution for decoding closed caption data from a video signal and outputting it to a monitor or other display device.

In summary, the IEC-788 2-field Closed Caption Decoder is a high-performance, flexible, and economical choice for professionals seeking a reliable closed caption decoding solution.
