Video Insertion Generator ITS Model 6980G-HD,  is a video inserter designed to insert GPS or IRIG B time, sampled precisely at vertical sync time, into serial digital interface (SDI) video.  The unit will sense an applied SD, HD, or 3G SDI signal and automatically adjust to the format. A time message is inserted into the video image and if selected into the SDI meta-data packets, which is derived from either the internal GPS receiver or an applied IRIG B time code signal. When using GPS, the unit automatically acquires all in-view satellites and locks an internal disciplined clock to the time reference. If an IRIG signal is used as a reference it is decoded and used to synchronize the clock.  If the GPS or IRIG lock is lost the 6980G-HD will automatically continue to run on the internal clock.

Remote control of the 6980G-HD may be performed via either the Ethernet or RS-232 ports. Commands applied to these ports allow the operator to configure the output video display, enter alphanumeric data, position the movable crosshair and read the unit status and time data.  The included keyboard provides for local control of the unit.  

Major features include:

  • Accepts SD, HD and 3G SDI video sources per SMPTE 259M/292M/424M
  • Auto-detects and formats insertion for 480i/p, 720p and 1080i/p for both NTSC and PAL field/frame rates.
  • Synchronizes time to internal GPS, applied IRIG B or as read from SDI meda-data.
  • Inserts a time stamp synchronized to within 10usec of frame sync into each field/frame of video and the SDI VANC ancillary packet.
  • Inserts movable crosshair.
  • Inserts fixed boresight crosshair.
  • Inserts up to 3920 characters of alphanumeric data.
  • Select 1 of 16 colors individually for characters, crosshair and boresight crosshair.
  • Inserts alphanumeric data received via the Ethernet, RS-232 serial port or keyboard.
  • Remotely controlled via Ethernet Port and RS-232C Serial Port.
  • Detachable keyboard.
  • Non-volatile Memory saves key settings and certain insertion data

The 6980G-HD is housed in a 1U, 19 inch rack mountable aluminum enclosure, 1.72" high and 9" deep (including connectors) and is powered by 100 to 240VAC 50/60 Hz.

Six Channel HD-SDI Video Data Encoder, Model 6055C-6GHD is a six channel video inserter designed to insert GPS or IRIG B time, sampled precisely at vertical sync time, into serial digital interface (SDI) video.  Each video channel operates independently.  The input video signals on each channel do not have to be synchronized and can also be of different video formats.  Time stamping is accurate to within 10 microseconds of the occurrence of a frame or field sync of each applied video signal.  The unit auto-detects and decodes the imaging format permitting most SDI 480i/p, 720p or 1080i/p NTSC or PAL sources to be connected without the need to change system settings.  The time message may be inserted into the active video image, with the color and location selected by the user.  When selected, the time is also inserted into the SDI meta-data (vertical ancillary packets).  The time reference is derived from either the internal GPS receiver, external IRIG B time code source or as read from previously encoded meta-data VANC packets. If the GPS or IRIG lock is lost the unit will automatically continue to run on an internal clock.  The 6055C-6GHD includes a GPS Synchronized IRIG B122 and IRIG B002 Time Code Generator.

Remote control of the 6055C-6GHD may be performed via either the Ethernet or RS-232 ports. Commands applied to these ports allow the operator to configure the output video display, enter alphanumeric data, position the movable crosshair and read the unit status and time data.  A detachable keyboard provides for local control of the unit.

Major features include:

  • Six independent video channels.

  • Accepts SD, HD and 3G SDI video sources per SMPTE 259M/292M/424M

  • Auto-detects and formats insertion for 480i/p, 720p and 1080i/p for both NTSC and PAL field/frame rates

  • Synchronizes time to internal GPS, applied IRIG B or as read from SDI meda-data.

  • Inserts a time stamp synchronized to within 10usec of frame sync into each field/frame of video and the SDI VANC ancillary packet.

  • Inserts movable crosshair.

  • Inserts fixed boresight crosshair.

  • Insert up to two event/alarm marks into each video channel.

  • Inserts up to 3920 characters of alphanumeric data into each video channel.

  • Select 1 of 16 colors individually for characters, crosshair and boresight crosshair.

  • GPS Synchronized IRIG B122 and IRIG B002 Time Code Generator.

  • Detachable keyboard. 

  • Remotely controlled via Ethernet Port and RS-232C Serial Port.

  • Non-volatile Memory saves key settings and certain insertion

The 6055C-6GHD is housed in a rack mountable aluminum enclosure, 19" wide x 3.5" high x 15" deep and is powered by 100 to 240VAC 50/60 Hz.

Ruggedized HD-SDI Video Data Encoder, Model 6041G-HD is a ruggedized SDI video inserter designed to be placed at a camera site.  The unit provides accurate time tagging of the video frame/field prior to compression and transmission, thereby assuring that the timing is retained.  The unit will sense an applied SD, HD, or 3G SDI signal and automatically adjust to the format. The time is sampled precisely at vertical sync and the time message then inserted into the active video image.  When selected, the time is also inserted into the SDI meta-data (vertical ancillary packets).  The time reference is derived from either the internal GPS receiver or an applied IRIG B time code signal. When using GPS, the unit automatically acquires all in-view satellites and locks an internal disciplined clock to the time reference. If an IRIG signal is used as a reference it is decoded and used to synchronize the clock.  If the GPS or IRIG lock is lost the 6041G-HD will automatically continue to run on the internal clock.

Remote control of the 6041G-HD may be performed via either the Ethernet or RS-232 ports. Commands applied to these ports allow the operator to configure the output video display, enter alphanumeric data and read the unit status and time data.  

  • Accepts SD, HD and 3G SDI video sources per SMPTE 259M/292M/424M.
