Basics |
Complete captioning and subtitling solution. No additional CC hardware required. No generation loss!!! Caption all your SD and HD videos using:
HD Enterprise contains every captioning feature CPC offers,
allowing you to meet virtually any captioning requirement today and in
the future. Its unique features include XDCAM .MXF direct, DVCPRO-HD
direct, MPEG-2 with
Manzanita mux, and Assemble captions from FCP EDL.
 Matrox MXO2 Matrox and CPC have co-developed an innovative solution that allows the MacCaption HD software to encode and decode HD captions to and from any HD or SD decks using the Matrox MXO2 and HD-SDI, SDI, and/or Analog connections. A new feature in the latest Matrox MXO2 1.4 drivers supports down-converting HD captions to SD line 21. Now you can simultaneously print your timeline to both HD with 708/608 captions and SD with line 21 captions. This also allows you to proof your 4VANC caption track on a regular TV with a CC decoder, instead of needing an expensive HD-SDI caption decoder. The MXO2 can also up/down/cross-convert any video format to any other format while maintaining the captions. More. AJA Kona MacCaption DTV and HD Enterprise software now works with the AJA KONA (3, LHi, LHe, LSe) and IO HD cards along with Final Cut Pro 7 to output HD 708/608 closed captions. More. Blackmagic DeckLink HD series MacCaption DTV and HD Enterprise software now works with the Blackmagic DeckLink (HD Extreme 3, DeckLink Studio, DeckLink Studio 2, DeckLink SDI and DeckLink Optical Fiber) cards along with Final Cut Pro 7 to output HD 708/608 closed captions. More. MPEG2 Transport, Program, and Elementary streams MacCaption-HD ties into Manzanita's multiplexing software to generate 708/608 closed captions in CableLabs-compliant HD MPEG-2 transport streams (requires Manzanita software to be installed separately) for tapeless delivery to networks and VOD. MacCaption-HD (including the demo version) can also decode/retrieve both 708 and 608 captions from MPEG-2 transport streams, including ATSC broadcast streams. You can verify that your stream is compliant with FCC regulations and that the 708 captions are encoded properly. Users without Manzanita software can add captions to generic MPEG2 Elementary and Program streams. The MPEG2 can be SD or HD. Captions can be formatted in any one of the following styles: ATSC DTV 608/708, DVD, CCube/LSI DVx 608 Linear or CCube/LSI DVx 608 Temporal. SCTE20-style 608 captions can also be decoded. More. Panasonic DVCPRO HD Captions can be added to DVCPRO-HD .mov (QuickTime) files. You need to use MacCaption-HD to print the captioned video via firewire to a compatible VTR such as a Panasonic AJ-HD1400. For HD-SDI workflows, please see the Matrox MXO2. SONY XDCAM HD Currently our MacCaption HD Enterprise software can retrieve (decode) and encode captions from Sony XDCAM MXF files (1080i and 720p) which came from a Sony XDCAM HD deck, Avid, or Final Cut Pro via the Sony XDCAM Transfer tool. Click the link above to see a sample MXF file with captions. To print to an XDCAM HD deck via HD-SDI, please see the Matrox MXO2, AJA, or Blackmagic workflows. Omneon Server MacCaption HD can export a caption encoded DVCPRO-HD file for playback to the Omneon Server. More. Proofing your 708 captions You can use MacCaption to proof your HD captions on your Mac. MacCaption-HD can preview your 708 captions (including Asian language and other Unicode characters supported in 708) on your computer monitor in sync with a video file. The Matrox MXO2 also down-converts your HD timeline to SD with line 21 captions in real time, so you can preview your 4VANC captions track on any regular TV with a CC decoder. If you can see the down-converted captions, then your 4VANC 708/608 caption track is working properly. If you do not have a Matrox MXO2, or if you MUST proof 708 captions on an external monitor, then you need an HD-SDI device with a 708 captions decoder. HD-SDI 708 closed captions can be displayed using a Sony Luma monitor with the optional BKM-244CC closed caption decoder (note: not compatible with 708 roll-up or paint-on captions), or converted into open captions using an Evertz 7760CCM-HD decoder card, or verified using the Tektronix Video Test waveform monitors. There are other devices capable of decoding 708 captions as well. However, we have yet to find an HD-SDI 708 captions decoder which properly supports Asian language and other Unicode characters. |
