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.

c Encode Selection LED
On:
Indicates that the encode mode is
selected.
Encode selection LED and FORMAT indicator LED flash at the same time:
Indicates that the ADVC-HDM1 is waiting
for a signal input from the HD-SDI.
d Decode Selection LED
On:
Indicates that the decode mode is
selected.
Decode selection LED and FORMAT
indicator LED flash at the same time:
Indicates that the ADVC-HDM1 is waiting for a stream input from the
IEEE1394a port.
NOTE
When the [Encode Selection LED] and
[Decode Selection LED] flash at the same
time, it indicates that the mode is in transition.
e VITC Enabled LED
Comes on when DVITC is enabled during
encode mode.
f LTC Enabled LED
Comes on when LTC is enabled during
encode mode.
NOTE
The [VITC Enabled LED] and [LTC Enabled
LED] come on when decode mode is
selected and the stream is HDV. Neither
come on if the stream is not HDV.
