[Avid-L2] Re: SRW-5500 Closed Captioning

I assume you're talking about SD signals. I don't recall being able to see VITC or CC in HD signals. For HD Cc is part of the Vanc line 009,572. That metadata is a bit stream and doesn't show up as visible white and black bars at the top of the screen to the best of my knowledge. Please educate me if this is wrong. Sadly my JVC multiformat monitor has no prevision for HV delay so I haven't been able to use it. I have to go by my tek wfm 7020 to see the closed captioning once the scope decodes it. CC is definitely one area that HD has become problematic than the SD counterpart.
