Closed Captions

Offline captioning for VIDEO, DVD and WEB based content provides the highest quality captions for pre-recorded video. Offline captioning is most commonly used in TV programs, movies, educational videos, corporate training content, home videos, commercials and music videos. Captions are carefully created, timed and proofed for superior quality then encoded with the audio and video information from your final master to produce a Closed Caption master.  CaptionLink can create captions for the WEB and all of your Mobile devices such as Quicktime™, iPod, iPhone, iPad, iTunes, YouTube, Flash, Windows Media Player™, etc.

On TV, captions are normally closed captions. They are encoded into the TV signal. A special chip on all TVs (sold in the US since 1993) is able to display or decode the captions embedded in the TV signal on the screen. Older TVs can display the closed captions with the help of a separate "add-on" box called a "closed caption decoder box". On web-based players there is usually a "CC" button to decode or turn captions on or off.

Open captions are always visible to the viewer and are embedded into the graphics of the webvideo or broadcast. There is no need for decoders to be turned on or off for open captions. Technically, the samples shown on this page hosted by YouTube are open captions. There is no way to turn them off.
