CLOSED CAPTIONING
Closed captions are recorded on Line 21 of a video tape and are made visible by using a decoder. All televisions built after 1993 which are 13 inches or larger are required to have a built-in decoder. With video captions you are limited to a standard style in order for your TV's caption decoder to read them: standard caption font, one size, upper case, up to four lines per caption, any justification. Closed captions can be produced in 6 different languages - English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German and Dutch. Closed captions can be produced as Pop-On or Roll-Up caption styles.

The Process:
1) You send us your MASTER and a VHS or DVD with burned in time code. Email a script if you have one or we can provide transcription services for you.

2) You will receive your original master and a copy of the master with captions encoded on the format requested.

3) We will ship your masters direct to your designated destination.
