CCPOST SOLVES NONLINEAR EDITORS' CLOSED CAPTIONING ISSUES
EEG’s HD485 with CCPost is a complete solution for encoding closed captions in the video post environment. The system combines the Smart Encoder product family with CCRecord and CCPlay. With CCPlay, post houses have an accurate and reliable data delivery system capable of encoding CC1, CC2 and CC3 closed caption data. CCPlay accepts closed caption files in any vendor format, and encodes the timecode-synced data to the HD485’s on-board video encoder. CCPlay and CCRecord share an intuitive Windows GUI for maximum operator efficiency.
CCPost is designed to offers a flexible workaround for complications stemming from the inability of nonlinear editing packages to pass captions through from ingest to output. Previously, if a captioned video needed to be re-imported for another edit, the caption data would be gone when the material was re-exported.
CCPost’s CCRecord and CCPlay features work in tandem to transfer closed captioning from input to output, bypassing the NLE. Users first run their tape through CCRecord to save all captions to a file, then perform their video editing as before, and then re-encode the caption data with CCPlay. Only caption data corresponding to frames that survived the edit process are encoded to the final master.
In addition, the ability of CC Record to ingest captions into the Scenarist .scc file format makes it a valuable addition to transcoding operations.
