CPC’s MacCaption-HD closed captioning software now interfaces seamlessly with all three Manzanita software multiplexers (MP2TSMS, MP2TSMM and MP2TSME) to generate a transport stream file that contains EIA-708 closed captioning. This functionality is important because an increasing number of TV broadcasters demand post production houses deliver MPEG-2 transport stream files instead of traditional high-definition tape masters.
Strict FCC broadcast regulations require these HD transport stream files to have both EIA-608 and EIA-708 closed captions for the hearing impaired. (EIA-708 is the HD/DTV captioning protocol; EIA-608 was the closed captioning protocol prior to HD).
MacCaption-HD also allows TV stations to check MPEG-2 transport streams for both 708 and 608 captions before they air a show.
In the ever advancing world of media content delivery, MPEG over IP (MPEG/IP) has been gaining popularity for a number of reasons. MPEG/IP delivery offers lower costs, higher bandwidth, greater efficiency, and new application possibilities over the traditional methods, such as: Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and RF networks. Along with the benefits, come a number of challenges. One of the biggest challenges is a mechanism to recover lost data in real-time. This paper will attempt to shed some light on the inner workings of the real-time data recovery mechanism: Pro-MPEG Code of Practice #3 Forward Error Correction (CoP#3 FEC). Read Now
