Audio Options for Closed Captioners
When you provide captions for a conference, the captioner may be present, or may
use a telephone or web browser to listen to the conference audio.
The captioner must receive audio from the conference in one of these ways:
• Attending one of the conferences sites
• Listening to the conference via the V500 web interface
• Listening to the conference via a speakerphone in the room at one of the
sites
Options for Supplying Closed Captions to Conferences
Captions can be provided in any language that uses the Latin alphabet.
The captioner can enter caption text in one of these ways:
• In the room or remotely, using the V500 web interface
• In the room or remotely, using a Telnet session
Providing Captions Via the V500 Web Interface
Closed captioners can provide captions from inside the conference room, or from
a remote location, by entering the captions directly into the V500 web interface, as
shown in the diagram below.
To supply closed captions for a conference using the V500 web interface:
1. On a PC, open a web browser.
2. In the browser address line, enter the IP address of the system (for example,
http://255.255.255.255 ) to go to the V500 web interface.
3. Go to System Setup > Utilities > Closed Caption.
4. Enter your user name and the password, if a password has been established.
