SDI Metadata support
Support for CC SMPTE 334-2 608/708 (HD/4K)
- Input caption data must be SMPTE-334-2 and can be 608 or 708. On output, the captions will be wrapped/packaged as 708. When the user selects SDI input and the SDI input contains closed caption data (embedded in the VANC) the encoder will include this data in the transport stream output(s).
