Configuration: Decoder > Video

The VBrick decoder is used to uncompress MPEG streams and display them on a TV or

monitor.

Decoder Video

Format

The format can be configured to be NTSC (30fps), PAL (25fps) or

PAL-M (30fps). PAL-M is a video format standard used in Brazil. The

main difference between PAL and PAL M is a lower resolution (525

lines instead of 625) and a higher frame count (30 frames per second

at 60Hz versus 25 frames per second at 50Hz). Note: Changing and

applying this parameter will cause the VBrick to reset.

Logo Display Lets you display the VBrick logo on the decoder output (monitor).

VBrick provides a Logo Customization Utility (available on the

website) if you want to create an individualized logo.

No Data Mode This allows setting the screen for a decoder with no video input to

having either the last screen appear either frozen or blank.

Closed Caption This setting enables or disables closed captioning. Closed Captioning

does not operate when the Picture in Picture feature is selected. It is

necessary to disable PIP. In SIF mode only CC1 and CC2 are valid.

CC3 and CC4 fields are not supported.
