Link Electronics Portable Closed Caption Decoder Model PCD-88
The PCD-88 is a high performance closed caption
decoder for the NTSC system. It is capable of
processing and displaying all standard field one
closed captions. The two channels of data that can
be displayed are CC1, CC2. The two channels of
captions are selectable from a two position switch
located on the front panel. Two LED's indicate
which of the two channels are selected. An
automatic caption "Time-Out" function will erase
displayed captions after 15 seconds if no new
data is received.
This unit can easily be mounted adjacent to a
video monitor that does not have a built-in closed
caption decoder to accomplish excellent results.
The PCD-88 is designed with the professional user
in mind. The required input signal is composite
video with caption data on line 21 of field one.
There are two 75 BNC composite video outputs.
The input is high impedance looping configured as
single ended, AC coupled, to work in all
environments. The remaining BNC connector
must be terminated with 75 . A regulated 12VDC
power supply, such as the Link PWT-300, is
included. The PWT-300 operates on AC power
from 90 to 240VAC.
Three internal controls provide for adjustment of
composite video level, background level and
character intensity. The unit is housed in a high
impact plastic case for durable operation in the
field or in the studio. The mating plug for remote
captions ON/OFF is supplied.
