einsert the module.
The module is now running the new software.
Loss of Input
This parameter sets the encoder’s behavior in the event of a loss of video input. In both of
the following cases, the encoder generates a complete program map table (PMT).
With the Black setting, the encoder continues generating elementary stream data for
the lost signal. The encoder simulates black input for lost video and mute for lost audio.
This setting effectively instructs the encoder to pretend that all inputs are present,
supplying synthetic (black, mute) input as needed.
The Stop option forcibly shuts down some or all of the transport stream, depending on
the lost input. The encoder stops generating MPEG packets on the PID of the lost input,
but the PMT continues to carry the PID entry. If the stream is configured to put the PCRs
in the video PID (see PCR PID), the encoder stops sending PCRs.
When the video input is lost, the encoder stops sending the
PAT, PMT, and all program
PIDs including audio, video, PCR, etc. When the audio input is lost, but video remains
present, the encoder continues sending the PAT, the PCR packets and the PMT (with all
of its elements including video, audio, lost audio, PCR, etc.). The encoder stops sending
packets for lost audio.
Source
In this parameter, select either and internal or external video input source for encoding.
Source Format
This parameter sets the input video standard for encoding from the following options:
The Resolution of the encoded image that you select in this field is based on the source
you set in the Source Format parameter.
ARC Control
Use this parameter to set the aspect ratio for the output video. The SEL-1ENC1 encoder
provides a small number of ARC settings to accommodate different sources. For more
complex aspect ratio conversions, the Selenio XD1 or another ARC processor may be
required. The decoder’s ARC control parameter includes the following output options:
Auto-4:3
Auto-16:9
4:3
16:9
13
Status
The Auto-4:3 op
tion automatically detects the aspect ratio from the source. If that value is
not available, the module sets the output to 4:3.
Auto-16:9 is the defa
ult setting; it likewise automatically detects the aspect ratio from the
source, but if that value is not available, the module sets the output to 16:9.
3 and 16:9 settings display the signal at their respective values, regardless of the

Detailed control of GOP structures and compression settings makes it possible to create
streams to best fit your requirements while achieving the highest picture quality possible.
Chroma Sampling
The SEL-1ENC1 offers two options: 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 (availability depends on model type
purchased). Select 4:2:0 for distribution applications, and 4:2:2 for higher-end contribution
applications. Currently the The SEL-1ENC1supports 4:2:2 for MPEG-2 only.
Coding Profile
The following settings offer optimized results for specific applications:
MPEG-2 Main (SD-SDI)
MPEG-2 High (HD-SDI)
h264-baseline (Mobile or reduced resolution use)
h264 main (SD-SDI)
h264 high (HD-SDI)
GOP Structure
The SEL-1ENC1 offers six possible GOP structures:
In the Auto mode, when the encoder detects scene changes or other variables, it
inserts an I-Frame. This setting is recommended for the best video quality.
The I option enables I-Frames only; no P or B-Frames are allowed. This results in a GOP
length of 1.
IP enables I and P-Frames, but no B-Frames. Typically, this option is used for low delay
applications or when the selected encoding profile does not permit B-Frames (for
example, a H264-Baseline).
When you select 1B, the module inserts one B-Frame (between P Frames); 2B inserts
two B-Frames (between P-Frames), and 3B inserts three B-Frames (between P-Frames).
Due to video coding techniques, typical I-frames consume more bits than P-frames,
which consume more bits than B-frames. Consequently, GOP structure affects the
relationship between bitrate and picture quality. Encoders generally impose no limits on
combinations of rates and GOP structure, but the following guidelines should be
observed.
When coding only I-frames (GOP-I), the encoder should use a minimum transport
stream rate of 25 Mbps. Lower rates may degrade video quality with difficult
material, especially when other program elements consume a significant amount of
the program's bandwidth.
The use of GOP-I coding is not recommended.
Page 25
Installation and Operation Manual
MPEG-2 anchors prediction points at I-frames and P-frames. Intervening B-frames
reference only the closest the I- and P-frame pictures. H.264 relaxes these
restrictions, allowing B-frames to reference I- and P-frames that are outside their
closest neighbors (in addition to other B-frames). This flexibility alters the notion of
open and closed GOPs and affects the placement of edit points in the video stream.
As a practical matter, the system's H.264 encoders currently limit their use of the
full H.264 facilities. The encoder inserts a recovery point SEI message at each
I-frame, providing synchronization points for downstream applications (decoders,
editors, etc.).
GOP Size
The term GOP Length means the distance between I-Frames.
SEL-1ENC1
15
The SEL-1ENC1 produces Dynamic GOPs w
ith variable GOP lengths. This means that instead
of a fixed GOP (with a never-changing GOP length), the encoder inserts I-Frames, thus
ending the previous GOP and starting a new GOP.
The GOP Size parameter offers four options. All of these options
are approximations, as the
Selenio encoder creates an I-Frame upon scene changes, or during particularly complex
scenes which would benefit from the creation of an I-Frame. The options are:
An Open GOP allows the initial B-frames to be predicted from frames outside the GOP. This
allows for a more efficient distribution of bits and improved picture quality. Closed GOPs
prohibit B-Frames from being predicted using frames outside the GOP. This option is most
often chosen when recording transport or program streams to file. A Closed GOP ensures
the output bitstream can be edited on a GOP boundary without loss of information.
Using this parameter, you can set the minimum quantization value of the encoder. If you
select 1, the encoder determines its own quantization values. Any other value you insert,
from 2 to 51, will be applied to the compression. This parameter is typically only used for
variable bitrate coding. By setting a maximum quality (by raising the Minimum Qp value),
you can conserve bandwidth if the video content has a low complexity.
Film Detect
When enabled, this feature detects film sources that are normally shot at 24 frames/sec (vs.
25, 30, or 60). Transferring film material to 30 or 60 frames/sec requires a 3:2 pulldown. For
every pair of film frames, 5 interlaced fields (or progressive frames) are generated. The first
frame has 3 fields, with the first and third identical. The second frame has 2 fields. (Two film
frames at 24 frames/sec take the same time as five fields at 30 frames/sec.) The encoder can
work more efficiently if it recognizes the repetition pattern, and this parameter tells the
encoder how to process the source material.
If the input material is not appropriate for 3
ignores the film mode setting. (The difference between 24 and 25 frames/sec is small
enough to ignore, and 3:2 pulldown is not used.)

The Aspect Ratio parameter indicates the current aspect ratio selected, either 4:3 or 16:9.
Audio Compression 1-8
General
Source 1 to 4
This parameter selects the audio source for each multichannel codec. The options include
None (default), Mute, Tone, eight AES inputs, and the embedded groups.
This parameter selects special processing for the audio channel. Options are: None (default)
Loudness Control, and MultiMerge.
Delay
This parameter makes it possible to correct lip-sync by adjusting audio delay between -500
to +500 msec, relative to video. A negative number causes the audio signal to precede the
video and helps to synchronize audio and video when using an external audio encoder. The
best negative delay value to use is the one that most closely approximates the external
audio encoder’s end-to-end processing time.
Gain
The parameter sets the audio gain to apply, with a range of -800 to 400 dB (default is 0).
De-emphasis
19
By enabling this parameter, the audio compression is affected in different ways, depending
on the type of signal:
AC-3... The encoder applies de-emphasis prior to audio compression.
MPEG... The encoder sets a flag in the audio stream that directs downstream
equipment to apply de-emphasis.
Audio standards other than AC-3 or MPEG
are not affected by this parameter.
Mode
The audio encoding modes are set as follows:
Mode 5.1 is used for 5.1 channel surround sound
Mono encodes mono audio on the left channel of the stereo pair.
Parametric Stereo is used for MPEG-4 encoders for lossy low-bitrate audio encoding
Stereo encodes stereo audio, left and right.
Dual-mono provides two independent mono audio channels (channel A and channel
B) instead of stereo left and right.
Audio Format
This parameter sets the audio input coding standard. The default setting is MPEG-192k.
See Table 1-14 on pag
This control specifies the ISO language code identifying the audio stream. In dual-mono
mode, the control specifies the code used for the first mono channel. You can type a
country code directly into this field. The default setting for this parameter is English (ENG).
State
This control enables or disables the addition of a specified audio channel into the stream.
Metadata Source
Use this parameter to set the source for audio metadata. Options are Internal (default),
Serial-1, Serial-2, and VANC.
Metadata Reversion
If the module detects an interruption in the Metadata Source, this option sets the response
as either Last Used (default) or Preset.
Status
AV Sync Adj Count
If audio and video streams have different time bases, they will, over time, drift apart. When
their relative timing difference becomes too large, the encoder adjusts its internal timing to
synchronize them. This condition does not necessarily indicate errors in the audio or video,
but it can be an important diagnostic tool for some applications.
When the encoder receives a new configuration or re-acquires its audio/video, it can
ement this value when synchronizing the inputs. If this count is incrementing, this may
incr
indicate that either there are errors in the audio, or video signals are being received, or
pre-compressed audio input is not locked to the video time base. In some cases, the
encoder may not have video input, or it might derive its time base from an input other than
video. The AV Sync Adj Count applies to audio synchronization adjustments relative to the
time base. Video normally supplies that time base, but some exceptions exist.
PMT Channel, CRC Error, and Loss of Signal
These read-only parameters indicate the PMT channel for the audio codec, the CRC error
count, and confirmation of the presence of the selected audio input.
AAC
PS (Parametric Stereo) Signalling
This parameter specifies the type of parametric stereo signaling for AAC audio encoding.
The Auto setting instructs the encoder to select the SBR signaling that is most appropriate,
based on the program's SI-Mode.
If the SI-Mode is set to ATS C (in Transport Stream > General), the Auto setting
SEL-1ENC1
forces the module to the Explicit setting.
If the SI-Mode is set to anything other than ATSC, the Auto setting forces the module
to an Implicit setting.
AAC PS Signalling applies only when Audio Format (in Audio x) is set to one of the
AAC-HE values.
SBR Signaling
The SBR Signaling parameter provides two options for signaling the presence of SBR data
in the audio stream: Implicit and Explicit HIER. The parametric and SBR Signaling
parameters should normally be set to Auto. When set to Auto, the module uses the
appropriate settings, based on the option selected in the SI Mode (ATSC, ISDB-T, etc.).
Advanced users can override these settings for special cases.

following conditions are met:
Transport
This parameter sets the audio stream type field in the PMT and the audio encapsulation
format used for the stream. The Auto setting detects the input audio coding standard that
is set at Audio x > Audio Format.
If the standard has been set to AAC-LC*... the Auto parameter defaults to ADTS.
If the ‘standard’ has been set to HE-AAC*...the Auto parameter defaults to LOAS.
ADTS (Audio Data Transport Stream) is typically used with AAC-LE-formatted audio.
LOAS (Low Overhead Audio Stream) is typically used with HE-AAC-formatted audio.
The Transport parameter applies only when the Audio Format (in Audio x) is set to an
AAC... selection.
Dolby E

appear on other VBI lines.
Lossless Monochrome sample data coding can be used to transmit 4:2:2 data without
chrominance. See ETSI EN 301 775 V1.1.1, section 4.8. A program in DVB mode has
constraints on using this function.

corresponding to VBI line indexes 7 to 22 in both field 1 and 2. The standards list lines

Consequently, the WST function should be specified only for lines 7 to 22 in either field.

Depending on the closed caption source, some encoders can
alternatively receive
closed captions over ethernet. Only one source is active per encoder. If the encoder is
not configured to use VBI lines as the closed caption source (the CC source is not VBI),
it discards the data for VBI lines configured with the Closed Caption function.
Additionally, setting the CC source to UDP overrides the line 21 function in both fields,
using the same processing as None, regardless of the actual configured value.
Closed Caption specifies the selected line should carry closed captioning data. That is,
the encoder extracts the closed caption data from this line (typically line 21) of the input
video, decodes that according to EIA-608, and then transmits it through the MPEG
stream according to EIA-708.
Typically, this value would be used for NTSC and NTSC-J and would be specified only to
I line 21 (in both fields).
VB
Nonetheless, the encoder
does not treat this value as a special case. It will do its best to
process closed captions on whatever lines are configured.)
In the SEL-1ENC1, closed captioning is taken
from line 21 VBI if the signal is SD-SDI;
and VANC if the signal is HD-SDI.
WSS directs the encoder to extract Wide Screen Signaling (WSS) from the specified VBI
line, as defined by ETSI standard EN 300 294. The WSS data is transmitted in the MPEG
stream according to ETSC EN 301 775. For standard video signals, WSS appears on field
1, line 23. Use of this function value on other lines is discouraged.
If WSS is successfully extracted from field 1, line 23,
and the program's SI-PSI mode is
other than MPEG, and the video aspect ratio is either auto-4x3 or auto-16x9, then bits

decoder to insert video index information in the output signal.
AMOLl-48, AMOL-96 specifies the selected line should carry an Automated
Measurement of Lineups (AMOL waveform), as specified by ANSI/CEA-2020, Other VBI
Waveforms, December 2007. The encoder extracts the AMOL data from this line
(typically line 20 or 22) of the input video, decodes the information according to ANSI/
CEA-2020, and then transmits it through the MPEG stream.
The two values specify 48 bits/line and 96 bit
s/line, using a waveform appropriate for
the indicated bit coding. The values can be combined on different lines and/or fields.
VPS (Video Program System) consists only of 32 bits of data, primarily the date and
time for which the broadcast of the currently running TV programme was originally
scheduled.
These parameters offer a detailed read-only view of the different field and lines in use for
VBI.
Rate
This parameter sets the maximum data bitrate to be encoded. When the data source
specifies a data input value other than 0, incoming data is added to the encoder's program
as a data stream. The encoder will discard excess data to avoid overrunning the configured
bandwidth.

VANC Service x DID
This parameter selects the service's primary Data ID (DID). When the VANC DID filter is
enabled, entries in the data service table specify DID/SDID pairs that identify data to copy
from the input to the encoder's transport stream output. Non-matching data are filtered
out and discarded.
Closed captioning uses a DID value of 0x61. Encoders extract closed captions automatically
and move them to the program's picture user data. If a VANC service is specified with the
DID and SDID for closed captions, the encoder will additionally pass the closed caption data
as a VANC service.

Closed Captioning and DVB Teletext Captioning
Although North America has dedicated standards for closed captioning of video (EIA-608
and 708), many countries in Europe and elsewhere have not yet adopted formal standards.
For these countries, closed captioning is part of the DVB Teletext System as described in
ITU-R BT-653-3. These specifications define all Teletext Systems (A, B, C, and D) used in the
world and are also known as the World System Teletext (WST). A Teletext system is made of
several pages of various data information and CC data is described in one these pages.
System B is used in Australia, the UK, and Germany, among other countries.
Australian closed captions are inser
ted on line 21/334 in analog PAL broadcast signals, as
per the ITU-R BT-653-3. When analog PAL is produced or converted to SDTV (625 digital), a
digitized version of the closed captioning appears on line 21/334 (in the same way line 21
on NTSC signals is digitized and appears on the line 21 of SD-SDI signals). The ITU-R
BT-653-3 document proposed by Free TV Australia indicates how to carry this CC data into
the VANC area of SD-and HD-SDI signals by use of the SMPTE 334M VANC embedding
protocol. For digital broadcasting, Australia intends to use the ETSI EN 300 472 standard
that specifies the conveyance of ITU-R System B Teletext in DVB bit streams.
(Close Caption) Source
This parameter selects a captioning source and disables processing of the others.
None disables all closed captioning.
The UDP option accepts CC data for both HD- and SD-SDI video. This option is most
commonly used with a serial-to-UDP conversion device (such as a Lantronix MSS-100)
to receive serial characters and to re-transmit them over Ethernet. When using this
arrangement, the controller monitors a specified UDP port for incoming characters and
sends any characters it receives over the system backplane to the appropriate encoder.
VANC extracts closed captioning from an HD-SDI signal.
VBI extracts closed captioning from an SD-SDI signal. This value directs the encoder to
extract 608 closed captions from VBI lines of the video (line 21 for NTSC). The VBI
function must be set accordingly.
Serial-1 receives CC data from the module’s GPI/Serial port for both HD- and SD-SDI.
The encoder can receive either 608 or 708 closed captioning. The Tr a ns parameter sets the
translation behavior for the different sources types.
Always enables 608-to-708 translation. Any incoming 708 captions are discarded, and
translated 608 captions are used instead.
As-needed enables 608-to-708 translation. If the input carries 708 captions, they are
used to provide captions downstream. If, however, the input does not carry 708
captions, incoming 608 captions are translated and used to supply 708 captions.
None disables 608-to-708 translation; incoming 708 captions (if present) are
preserved.
AFD Default
This parameter sets the default Active Format Description (AFD).
As described by the aspect ratio, a transport
stream can carry information describing the
source and the display aspect ratios. When the encoder inserts an AFD without information
from the input signal, this value provides the active format to use. See ETSI TR 101 154
V1.4.1 (2000-07), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Implementation guidelines for the use
of MPEG-2 Systems; Video and Audio in satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcasting
applications.
The following options (except for No
None explicitly indicates not to insert AFD, unless the input stream already carries
ne) are from Annex B of that specification:

AFD-0 to AFD-1 Reserved
AFD-2 box 16:9 (top)
AFD-3 box 14:9 (top)
AFD-4 box > 16:9 (center)
AFD-5 to AFD-7 Reserved
AFD-8 Active format is the same as the coded frame
AFD-9 4:3 (center)

AFD-14 16:9 (with shoot & protect 14:9 center)
AFD-15 16:9 (with shoot & protect 4:3 center)
Drop explicitly indicates to drop AFD, even if the input stream carries aspect ratio
information. This, however, does not impact the VANC DID filter setting.
Teletext Mode sets the encoding for Teletext data. Options are Dual (default), ETSI EN
300 472, and ETSI EN 301 775.
OP 47 Lines
Use this parameter to set the maximum number of OP-47 teletext lines per frame to
process. A value of 0 disables OP-47 teletext processing. When you select lines 1 to 34, the
encoder allocates sufficient bandwidth to carry the specified number of lines. The encoder
discards excess data as necessary to avoid overrunning the configured maximum teletext
lines per video frame.

da
processing always uses the EN-300-472 transmission format, regardless of the VBI teletext

stream.
Teletext from VANC data can be carried in two separate ways in the transport stream. Both

If the OP-47 line count is configured to a non-zero value, any teletext lines are carried in
their own packetized elementary stream (this includes both subtitling distribution
packets and multipackets carrying teletext subtitling).
VANC service can be defined to filter on the DID and SDID, which would extract the
subtitling, combine it with other VANC services, and carry the aggregate VANC services
in the stream. This aggregate data stream's rate is controlled by the VANC rate.
Either or both methods can be used to extract O

Splice Trigger
Splice Event Trap, which enables or disables SNMP when a splice event occurs
Preroll
The Preroll parameter sets the delay between a splice point trigger and its insertion. This
value tells the encoder how long to wait between a splice point trigger and the insertion of
the associated In Point or Out Point. SCTE 35-2004 recommends at least a four-second
interval between the first cueing message and the arrival of the associated In or Out Point.
If you insert a value of 0,
A value between 0.
the encoder inserts a splice point immediately.
001 and 10.000 causes the encoder to insert a splice point following
this specified period of delay. This value specifies the time between the first cueing message
and the arrival of the associated In or Out Point. SCTE 35-2004 recommends a minimum
delay of four seconds, but the system allows a smaller interval.
GPI Mode
The GPI Mode sets the splice point behavior for GPI triggers. When a program's Trigger
value is set to any value between GPI-<1-4>, this parameter specifies the correspondence
between In Point and Out Point with the GPI condition.
Close-In generates a mark-in when the GPI closes, and no action when the GPI opens.
Close-In-Out generates a mark-in when the GPI closes and mark-out when the GPI
opens (The default setting is Traditional behavior).
Close-out generates a mark-out when the GPI closes, and no action when the GPI
opens.
Open-In generates a mark-in when the GPI opens, and no action when the GPI closes.
Open-In-Out generates a mark-in when the GPI opens and a mark-out when the GPI
closes.
Open-Out generates a mark-out when the GPI opens, and no action when the GPI
closes.
