Closed Captions

Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written words
which then appear as subtitles on the television screen. Closed captions allow viewers to read the dia­

logue and narration of television programs.

Using Closed Captions

Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration

of television

programs.

For prerecorded programs program dialogue can

be arranged into captions

in advance. Its possible to caption a live program by

using a process called

real-time captioning, which creates captions instantly.

Real-time

captioning Is

normally done by professional reporters using

a machine shorthand system

and computer for translation into English
Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it

can also aid

in

teaching language skills.

• The picture at left shows a typical caption.

Caption Tips

• Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.

• Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different caption signals

on

the same channel. By

selecting

From

CC

or

programming information.

• Your TV

not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.

1. Poor reception conditions are encountered:

JUl

IGNITION:

Picture

may

flutter,

drift,

suffer

or

horizontal

streaking.

Usually

caused

by

interference

from

automobile

ignition

systems,

neon

lamps,

electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits

and

follows two paths. One is the

direct

path

and the

other

is

reflected

off

tall

buildings,

hills or

other objects.

Changing the direction or position

of

the antenna may improve reception.

SNOW:

If your receiver is located at the weak, fringe area of a TV signal, your picture

may be marred by small dots. It may be necessary to install a special antenna

to improve the picture.

2. An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape

is

being played.

3. Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.

4. The signal from the antenna is weak.

5. The program wasn’t captioned when it was produced,

transmitted,

or taped.
