Depending on the type of the captions file you wish to export to, you will be asked to adjust some of the following settings
Scenarist Closed Caption Format (SCC)
Export channel | Depending on your choice for Channel, the prepared subtitle file will be inserted in one of the two data channels used with the Closed Captions |
Export upper case | will output a file which text contains only UPPER case letters |
Double control codes | the control characters are duplicated to ensure correct transmission |
Extended charset | enables the use of characters from the Line 21 extended character list set. If not selected and there are extended characters in the captions you will receive an error message |
Blank between pop-ons | the default value is 2 frames |
SMPTE-TT CEA-608
Is Bold | Exports all subtitles text as bold. |
Script version | Select "CEA-608" to export standard SMPTE-TT or "Crackle ver 1.1" to export subtitles compatible with Crackle specification. |
Font size | Vertical and Horizontal width are used to define the text's precise position on the screen. Values of 80% are considered default because they correspond to the CEA-608 requirements for positioning the text in the 32x15 grid. We suggest you to use the defaults unless something else is required. |
Time Format | When exporting "CEA-608" file, timing in the output will be expressed as Media Time, whilst when exporting "Crackle" compatible, timing will be exported as SMPTE Timecode. |
Tunnel 608 | By clicking on the Tunnel 608 Data, raw closed captions data will be exported in the <Head> section of the output SMPTE-TT file in order to preserve the original CEA-608 closed captions stream. |
Export channel | Depending on your choice for Channel, the prepared subtitle file will be inserted in one of the two data channels used with the Closed Captions |
