-q--quiet
Suppress all progress and error messages.
-v--verbose

Deviceoptions-a number
--adapter-num number
Select a different DVB device to capture the signal (/dev/dvb/adapterN). The default is adapter 0.
-i number
--frontend-id number
Select a different frontend on the DVB device (/dev/dvb/adapterN/frontendM). Most devices have
only one frontend. The default is frontend 0.
-d number
--demux-id number
Select a different demultiplexer on the DVB device (/dev/dvb/adapterN/demuxM). Most devices have
only one demultiplexer. The default is demultiplexer 0.
-r number
--dvr-id number
Select a different DVR interface on the DVB device (/dev/dvb/adapterN/dvrM). Most devices have
only one DVR interface. The default is DVR interface 0.
-T--ts Decode an MPEG-2 Transport Stream on standard input instead of opening a DVB device. This option
is mainly intended for debugging.
Since Transport Streams can contain multiple programs you must still specify one or more station
names, which zvbi-atsc-cc will look up in a channel configuration file to determine the Program ID
of the video elementary stream or streams it should extract. You should also add the --atsc option
to clarify that this is an ATSC TS and the program should expect an azap channel configuration
file, which is otherwise inferred from the DVB device capabilities.
Tuningoptions-e file name
--channel-conf file name
To tune in a TV station zvbi-atsc-cc needs a channel configuration file. We use the config file of
the azap tuning tool from the linuxtv-dvb-apps package. You can create it with the scan tool from
the same package.
The azap channel configuration file is a text file which lists one station per line. Each line
contains six fields separated by a colon: The station name, the transponder frequency in Hz, the
modulation used (8VSB, 16VSB, QAM_64, QAM_256), the video stream PID, the audio stream PID, and
the service ID. Empty lines and lines starting with a number sign will be ignored.
This option selects a different channel configuration file. The default is
$HOME/.azap/channels.conf-L--list
List all stations in the channel configuration file and their transponder frequency.
-n station name
--station station name
The station to tune in. Usually the -n can be omitted.
zvbi-atsc-cc can record caption from multiple stations at once if they share a transponder
frequency. Just specify multiple station names on the command line to enable this.
Captionoptions
With the caption and XDS options you specify which data zvbi-atsc-cc should extract. If multiple station
names are given these options apply to the succeeding station name. You must specify at least one of
these options for each station.
-c--cc
Print any received caption on standard output.
-C file name
--cc-file file name
Append any received caption to the specified file.
-l number
--channel number
Print NTSC Closed Caption channel 1, 2, 3 or 4 on standard output.
-1 ... -4 file name
--cc1-file ... --cc4-file file name
Filter out NTSC Closed Caption channel CC1 ... CC4 and append the text to the specified file. CC1
is the primary, CC3 the secondary caption service. If both services are transmitted CC1 usually
carries English, CC3 Spanish caption.
-5 ... -8 file name
--t1-file ... --t4-file file name
Filter out NTSC Text service T1 ... T4 and append the text to the specified file.
-9 ... -0 file name
--s1-file ... --s2-file file name
Filter out DTVCC service 1 or 2 and append the text to the specified file. Service 1 is the
primary, service 2 the secondary caption service. If both services are transmitted service 1
usually carries English, service 2 Spanish caption.
Digital TV stations are supposed to transmit language codes and other information about the
available caption services but these are not presently evaluated. zvbi-atsc-cc filters out text
which does not appear to be caption, such as tickers or vertically printed text.
-b--no-webtv
Do not print WebTV links.
-m--timestamps
Prepend timestamps YYYYMMDDHHMMSS to caption lines. This is the system time in the UTC timezone
when the text was captured, specifically the Carriage Return or Pop-On code responsible for
printing the line.
-S--stream-time-Sdate --stream-time=date
Prepend timestamps YYYYMMDDHHMMSS to caption lines generated from the timestamps transmitted in
the video stream. If date is given, also in the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, it will be added to the
timestamps, otherwise the counter starts at 0001-01-01 00:00:00.
-s--sentences
Print caption one sentence at a time.
-j type
--format type
When type is "plain" zvbi-atsc-cc prints caption and XDS text without any markup. When type is
"vt100" it faithfully reproduces the caption foreground and background color, italic and underline
attributes by inserting VT.100 terminal control codes. With type "ntsc-cc" it mimics the output of
the ntsc-cc and zvbi-ntsc-cc tool. The default is "ntsc-cc".
zvbi-atsc-ccsupportsallClosedCaptioncharactersetsand converts to the encoding of the
current locale, usually UTF-8.
-p--plain
Same as -jplainXDSoptions-x--xds
Print all received XDS data on standard output.
-X file name
--xds-file file name
Filter out eXtended Data Service data (station name, program name, program rating etc.) and append
it as text to the specified file.
-f type[,type]*
--filter type[,type]*
Filter out specific XDS information: all, call (station call sign), desc (program synopsis),
length, network, rating, time, timecode, timezone, title. Multiple -f options accumulate. The
default is "all".
