The Link Electronics PCE-845D is a Closed Caption encoder for NTSC and PAL systems with decoder; data channels and text select are offered for user selection. The required input signal is composite, component or Y/C video; this unit will then insert caption data on line 21 of field one or field two. It will also read caption data and decode for display.
LED Read Out
Four LED's indicate encoding on field 1 or field 2, video presence or field 1 detection..
Encoding
Encoding can be NTSC, PAL, on field 1 or field 2 of line 21; this encoding works well with the old system and with updated FCC specifications.
Future Encoding
