    SAN FRANCISCO — Wohler Technologies has launched a multifunctional HDCC Series card that enables higher frame density by performing encoding of both SCTE-104 playout automation system messages and closed-caption data into the baseband signal.

    Available in a Ross openGear hosting frame, the new HDCC-708T104-OG1 card extends Wohler’s HDCC Ancillary Data Management Platform to address insertion of the customized SCTE-104 cues that facilitate seamless commercial ad insertion.

    The HDCC Series comprises a line of ancillary data management technologies that address applications for data insertion/extraction while also providing captions and subtitles for OP47, CEA-608/CEA-708 and ARIB-B37 standards. A set of single- and dual-channel multifunction cards that enable high-density implementation and high integration while keeping power consumption low, the HDCC Series offers captioning solutions for encoding, decoding, transcoding, translation, monitoring and other specialized requirements.

    Game-Clock Data Encoding on Wohler HDCC Series Makes European Debut at IBC2013

    Wohler Technologies today announced that new scoreboard encoding capabilities on the company's HDCC ancillary data management platform will make their European debut at IBC2013. The HDCC-Gameclock-OG2 serves as the first single-card solution to encode (with optional overlay) game-clock data from scoreboards, frame-accurately, in baseband SDI signals. By encoding timing information into the video stream as ancillary data, the Wohler card enables the transmission and remote, frame-accurate on-screen display of clock data. In sports such as hockey, basketball, and football, this combination of video and data gives referees a fast and straightforward means of evaluating the timing of key events, such as a hockey puck crossing the goal line at the end of regulation time.
