HD Closed Captioning Software for the Omneon
(with Assemble Edit Feature)

Rockville, MD, December 8, 2008: The wait for a tapeless captioning solution for HD is finally over.  CPC, the leader in closed captioning, has created a solution that will allow the MacCaption HD software to export a caption encoded DVCPro HD file for playback to the Omneon Server.

Improves Work-flow and Decreases Captioning Cost
 If you are currently using the Omneon Server or have clients that have an Omneon Server, you can now improve your workflow by not having to export to tape. This saves both time and money.

How it works 
All Omneon Spectrum product lines ingest HD-SDI with closed captioning using the optional DVCPRO HD Media Port. These special DVCPRO HD Media Ports make a DVCPRO HD QuickTime file with closed captioning that can be edited with any non-linear editing system. 

Unique Assemble Edit Feature
The MacCaption HD software in turn preserves the original captions and re-encodes the edited captions using our advanced assemble caption feature. Assemble Caption lets you edit pre-captioned video in Final Cut Pro and then export an XML that contains the “edit decision list”.   This document is read by MacCaption-HD, which understands exactly how the captioned video was edited in order to produce a new caption file for the final video. 

This is an excellent solution for clients editing in HD format because they don’t have to worry about Final Cut Pro deleting their captions when they edit their video.  MacCaption-HD has the ability to retrieve the captions of the original captioned clip and store the data outside of Final Cut Pro until the editor is ready for it.

Once you have the final DVCPRO HD QuickTime with the new caption data, you simply play it back out of your Omneon DVCPRO HD media port via HD-SDI to your switcher for on-air broadcast. More...

Captioning HD Tapes

Panasonic DVCPRO HD
Captions can be added to DVCPROHD. You need to use FireWire to send the captioned video to a compatible VTR such as a Panasonic AJ-HD1400.

SONY XDCAM
Captions can be added to XDCAM.

Panasonic DVCPROHD and Sony XDCAM captioning is a new feature 
and we are looking for end users to help us test this new capability.
