HD Captioning Done Simple: Tapeless HD File Insert Option Takes the Hassle Out of HD Captions

There is yet another simple way to caption your HD programming that is tapeless–CC File inserts directly into your video.

File-insert captioning works with the following formats:

  • MPEG2
  • .mov
  • DVCPRO HD
  • XDCAM

The process for MPEG2, .mov and DVCPRO HD:

Client…

sends full res file & proxy file via FTP, thumb drive, hard drive, et cetera

Captioning Company (Aberdeen) …

does captioning and inserts captions into video file

returns captioned video via FTP, thumb drive, hard drive, etc.

How this process is used:

Option #1: CC to be played out through a SkyMicro card to a tape. This will keep the captions, but only works with MPEG2 and DVCPRO HD, not .mov.

Option #2: Video with CC to be deliver directly to station for their play-server

The Process for XDCAM:

Client…

sends full res file & proxy file via FTP, XDCAM disc, hard drive, et cetera

Captioning Company (Aberdeen)

does captioning and inserts captions into .mxf video file

returns closed captioned video via FTP, XDCAM disc, hard drive, et cetera

How this process is used:

Option #1: The XDCAM disc goes to the station for broadcast

Option #2: If it is an MXF file, then client drags and drops file to XDCAM disc
