# Configure data output

Data is embedded into the VANC (Vertical Ancillary) lines of the SDI output. It is possible to embed more than one data type onto a single VANC line.

MK.IO Beam Distribution currently supports the following data types:

- VITC / Time code
- AFD / BAR
- Closed Captions
- OP-47 Teletext
- SMPTE 2031 Teletext
- Generic data

> **Info:** See [output parameters](/beam/receiver/parameters#sdi-output-parameters-and-status) descriptions for additional information.

Before you start, ensure:

- At least one Receiver service is configured.
- The service to be decoded has been selected from the **Selected Service** list in the **Input** tab.

1. From the **Home** page, select the **RECEIVER** item from the required feed then click `Edit`.

2. From the **Parameters** section, select **Output** to display options.

3. Select **Data** to open the tab and display options.

4. Select the Line number from the drop-down menu.\
   Each selected data component (if present on the incoming transport stream) is now either decoded from a data PID or is extracted from User data or SEI in the video elementary stream.

> **Info:** Generic data is automatically reinserted into the same line it came in.
