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
