It is controllable via RS-232, IP, and IR commands. An onboard Web page enables remote Web Keep watch over. A new menu-driven display simplifies setup, and a front-panel USB port makes firmware updates a snap. The new compact enclosure allows mounting of two tuners in a single rack space. Allows inclusion of 708/608 captioning The integral HD-SDI output allows inclusion of 708/608 captioning, choice of AES stereo or AC-3 audio, and scaled output set to a constant 1080p, 1080i, 720p, or 480i resolution.

RS-232/Telnet/UDP Keep watch over Protocol The 232-ATSC-SDI 4 full duplex RS-232/Telnet protocol enables a system programmer to Keep watch over all TV Tuner functions in addition to monitor TV Tuner status. All commands are sent as ASCII strings. No delays between characters or commands are required, as data is interrupt driven and buffered. The 3 status groups are: Channel/Source Choose, Audio Levels/Mode and Front Panel. The power button-function status from the 232-ATSC+ front panel has been grouped with the Channel/Source for simplicity in the most typical modes of operation. Each and every of the groups has one ASCII status response string containing all the status data for that group. The current status string of a group is sent from the 232-ATSC+ whenever a valid command for that group is received by the 232-ATSC+ RS-232 port or front panel. A group’s status may be requested at any time via the RS-232 port. Status of all 3 groups is sent at power up. The format of Each and every group’s status response string remains the same all the time
