The CMI-100 provides the television industry with cost-effective and automated means of inserting constant metadata into SMPTE 259M and SMPTE 292M signals. The CMI-100 automatically and repetitively inserts audio metadata, active format descriptors (AFD) and other metadata into the VANC of HD and SD signals. Based on the openGear open-architecture modular frame, the CMI-100 offers complete user interface through DashBoard, the free Java-based application that provides common control and monitoring interface for multiple openGear frames and cards. Also available is heads-up display on separate monitoring outputs that allows card status and parameters to be viewed and adjusted using the card-mounted finger joystick.
- Automated means of inserting constant metadata into SMPTE 259M and SMPTE 292M signals
- Incorrect audio play-out, postage stamp images, triggering of downstream equipment
- Automatically and repetitively inserts audio metadata, active format descriptors (AFD) and other metadata
- Inserted services can be selected from a variety of services stored in on-board memory
- Provides full control of DID, SDID, insertion line and 292M component (chroma or luma)
- Automatically recognizes and uses standard HD and SD video formats
- Selection of inserted VANC services can be controlled by GPIO inputs and/or tied to the input video format
- Remote setup using DashBoard software via an Ethernet connection
- Local setup using an on-board joystick control and video output connected to picture monitor
- VANC packets can be created using VANC MetaGenerator software
- VANC packets can also be captured from the input video signal and stored in the card for later use
- On-board firmware can be updated remotely through the frame’s Ethernet connection
