2-1 Features
z A compact unit compatible with HDV and HD-SDI conversion
The ADVC-HDM1 is a converter unit that can encode HD-SDI signals to the HDV
standard or can decode and output the HDV standard as HD-SDI signals. It can
be stored in a 19-inch half rack mount.
z Compatible with MPEG2-TS MP@HL encoding
Eight different bit rate types at a resolution of 1920 × 1080 can be specified. Further, when controlling with advanced AV/C commands, a bit rate from 11 Mbps to
40 Mbps can be specified.
z Simple to operate
The front panel of the ADVC-HDM1 includes a button for switching between
encode and decode and a switch for setting the time code input. There are no
complex operations, enabling anyone to use it.
z AV/C to RS-422 conversion function
The ADVC-HDM1 is equipped with a function for outputting an AV/C command to
an RS-422 terminal, enabling deck control from the RS-422 terminal of the
ADVC-HDM1 when using a computer does not have an RS-422 terminal.
z Remote control with RS-232C
Remote control of the ADVC-HDM1 is possible via the RS-232C terminal.
z Two HD-SDI output systems
Two systems, a monitor and deck, can be connected to the ADVC-HDM1.
z Connecting to peripheral devices
The ADVC-HDM1 can be used as an encoder by connecting it to the HDCS3000, a high definition (HD) network transmission system made by Canopus. It
can be used as an encoder for the live delivery of HD-SDI source with the MediaEdge-STB3, a video delivery set-top box made by Canopus.
z 1920 mode
Enables the encoding and decoding of resolution/frame rate 1920/59.94i images
without diminishing the horizontal resolution.

“1TC” VITC
“2TC” LTC
Status report: Completion message (“R”)
E06: Command argument error (integer is
neither 1 nor 2)
When the input time code is changed during decode operation, the changed setting is enabled from the next encode
operation.
?T Check the input time code setting of the current encoding
Format: “?T”
Status report: “1”: VITC
“2”: LTC
– 21 –
?I Check whether or not there is a current HD-SDI input
Format: “?I”
Status report: “1”: There is an input
“0”: There is no input
VB Specify the video bit rate for encoding
Format: “(Integer) VB”
Specify the bit rate value in units of 400 bps
Status report: Completion message (“R”)
E06: Command argument error (when a bit
rate is not specified)
The video bit rate specified with this command is set during
encoding when it is possible to specify the video bit rate with
the DIP switch settings (SW6=SW7=SW8=ON).
When the bit rate was set during encode operation, encoding
is restarted if SW6=SW7=SW8=ON.
When the bit rate was set during decode operation, the set
value is enabled from the next encode operation.
?B Check the video bit rate that was specified during encoding
Format: “?B”
Status report: “(Bit rate value in units of 400 bps)”
Returns the bit rate value that is used when it is possible to
specify the video bit rate with the DIP switch settings

Changing the Video Bit Rate
The following methods can be used for changing the video bit rate setting when
using AV/C commands.
(1) Checking the Video Bit Rate Setting Value
Input
ctype = STATUS(1)
operand[5] = 0x01
operand[6] = 0xff
operand[7] = 0xff
operand[8] = 0xff
operand[9] = 0xff
Output
rcode = STABLE(0x0c)
status (operand[4]) is one of the following:
0x00 succeeded
0x01 failed
0x02 invalid parameter
– 24 –
If successful, video bitrate in units of 400 bps are returned as follows:
operand[6] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 0 – bit 7)
operand[7] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 8 – bit 15)
operand[8] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 16 – bit 23)
operand[9] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 24 – bit 31)
(2) Video Bit Rate Setting
Input
ctype = CONTROL(0)
operand[5] = 0x02
operand[6] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 0 – bit 7)
operand[7] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 8 – bit 15)
operand[8] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 16 – bit 23)
operand[9] = video bitrate in units of 400 bps (bit 24 – bit 31)
Output
rcode = ACCEPTED(0x09)
status (operand[4]) is one of the following:
0x00 succeeded
0x01 failed
0x02 invalid parameter
