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

Become a part of the advanced technological revolution with the IEC-788, a high-tech, state-of-the-art closed caption decoder designed for both NTSC and PAL systems. This sophisticated device is not only capable of processing and displaying all standard closed caption format transmissions, but also includes the codes 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, including Caption channels 1 through 4 (CC1-CC4), Text modes 1 through 4 (T1 through T4), and Extended Data Services (XDS). This innovative device offers a variety of operating modes, all selectable from four front panel switches, providing you with the flexibility to customize your viewing experience.

Housed in LINK's compact 700 Series chassis, the IEC-788 is a rugged and reliable device that can be rack-mounted alongside two other 700 Series units of any mix. It features a switch on the rear panel for selecting between PAL or NTSC, and a switch on the front panel for choosing between 115 or 230VAC.

Designed with the professional user in mind, the IEC-788 processes composite baseband video or S-Video. The composite video input is high impedance looping, and the S-Video is standard levels. A complementary differential input amplifier 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.

The IEC-788 closed caption decoder is the perfect blend of high performance, flexibility, and economy, making it an essential tool for those seeking to enhance their video viewing experience.
