The LEI-599 will accept HD SD SDI transport streams with embedded closed captions and other ancillary data and decode and re-insert those captions in the outgoing HD/SD-SDI stream so that the captions now appear during active video. Captions which appear in active video are called "Open" captions. CEA-608-B based streams will decode CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4 and text service T1. Text service T2, which is used by MSN-TV to transmit the internet links for their service, will not be decoded. Channel CC3 is now used to transmit the eXtended Data Service (XDS) packets and will be decoded to a front panel LCD display.
