Application Diagram

ProCAP is a complete offline non-linear captioning system offering a cost-effective and flexible solution.

Player • Using Windows® XP multimedia subsytem for playback, ProCAP adds caption and subtitle preview over video for WYSIWYG display, timing and positioning.

Editor • Using Microsoft® Word ProCAP extends the functionality of the universal word processor allowing users to import or create transcripts, author and edit captions, caption styles, format and positioning.

Timeline • Provides a pictorial view of the caption information. Shot change detection, a film strip and an audio waveform allows for precise alignment of captions.

Networking • ProCAP is network ready supporting 100Base TX and Gigabit Ethernet for quick integration and setup.

ProCAP® Capture • Using an industry standard capture card and a SATA II subsystem in a 1RU server, the resulting MPEG1/WM9 file is a frame-accurate capture of the source video. Lower cost capture solutions combined with the Author station are also available. Burn-in time code on capture, or optional LTC capture, ensures frame-accurate results. Support for external MPEG1/WM9 file sources.

ProCAP® Author • ProCAP Author saves time by supporting EIA-608 Line 21 captioning, EIA-708 DTV captioning and DVD Subtitling all in the same application - the work done for one standard can be applied to the next Cheetah .CAP, TDS, .SCC for DVD Line 21, DVD scripts and Image files are all supported

ProCAP® Transfer • ProCAP Transfer ensures accurate and consistent encoding of captions to video. Support for various file formats including .TDS, Cheetah, .CAP, CIN, ULT and NCI .FLC. ProCAP Transfer can also capture existing Line 21 streams, and export them as .SCC files for DVD. Encoding time code can be changed or started manually.

Avid NLE With MetaSync® • ProCAP Author seamlessly integrates with Avid NLEs. Avid WM9 export clips can be used directly. MetaSync® export scripts can be imported for finishing, or any available transcript used as a starting point. Completed work can be output for Transfer or as a Line 21 Quicktime video clip to be taken back into the Avid project.

Closed Caption Encoder • ProCAP Transfer supports any new or existing CTRL-A Protocol compliant Closed Caption encoder. For digital video applications, the Evertz HD9084 is a full broadcast quality EIA-608 and EIA-708 digital encoder.

Omneon Server Support • ProCAP Transfer allows for off-line caption encoding directly into clips residing on an Omneon server. The typical speed is 4 to 6 times real-time. Because Line 21 data is inserted into the video clip, there is not generation loss. Clip caption status tagging allows simplified automation support.
