VBI extraction (not supported on HDMI)

• DirectShow-compatible VBI pins are provided on the Video Device Capture Filter. VBI data includes Vertical Interval Timecode (VITC) in both the NTSC and PAL worlds. In NTSC, line 21 Closed Captioning (although it is part of the video interval rather than true VBI data), is commonly treated as VBI data. In PAL, World Standard Teletext (WST) is encoded in the VBI data region.

• The driver delivers VBI data as raw waveforms, which are then decoded by external DirectShow filters. DirectShow provides three filters under the classification “WDM Streaming VBI Codecs” that will decode data from VBI pins:

CC Decoder

NABTS/FEC VBI Codec

WST Codec
