  • WFM How to Guide-Closedcaptioning.Pdf
    How to Guide Closed Caption Monitoring WFM6120/7020/7120 & WVR6020/7020/7120 Version 5.0.2 Software How to Guide Closed Caption Monitoring What is Closed Captioning? There are a variety of methods to add captioning to the program material depending upon the video format. CEA 608 standardizes the process of adding caption data to standard definition (SD) signal. This can be added as an analog signal to line 21 of the active NTSC signal as shown in Figure 1. The signal contains a clock and two data bytes which are transmitted on each field of the video signal (120 Bytes per second or 960 bits per second (bps)). Alternatively in SD-SDI (Serial Digital Interface) this analog signal maybe digitized as part of the active video or alternatively carried as an ancillary data packet within the video signal. For high definition (HD) a new standard was created for the addition of captions to the video signal which is standardized in CEA708.This captioning standard provides a wider range of captioning service while still maintaining backwards compatibility with CEA 608 and is carried an ancillary data packet within the HD-SDI signal. The DTVCC (Digital Television Closed Captioning) provides a maximum data rate of 9600bps. This increased capacity allows for the possibility of simultaneously providing captions in multiple languages and multiple reading levels. Figure 1. NTSC Line 21 Closed Caption Signal. The latest version of the WFM and WVR series firmware version 5.0.2 now supports the simultaneous decode of CEA 708 and 608 closed captioning, allowing the operator to monitor both data streams for compatibility.

  • Comparison of HDTV Formats Using Objective Video Quality Measures
    Multimed Tools Appl DOI 10.1007/s11042-009-0441-2 Comparison of HDTV formats using objective video quality measures Emil Dumic & Sonja Grgic & Mislav Grgic # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2010 Abstract In this paper we compare some of the objective quality measures with subjective, in several HDTV formats, to be able to grade the quality of the objective measures. Also, comparison of objective and subjective measures between progressive and interlaced video signal will be presented to determine which scanning emission format is better, even if it has different resolution format. Several objective quality measures will be tested, to examine the correlation with the subjective test, using various performance measures. Keywords Video quality . PSNR . VQM . SSIM . TSCES . HDTV. H.264/AVC . RMSE . Correlation 1 Introduction High-Definition Television (HDTV) acceptance in home environments directly depends on two key factors: the availability of adequate HDTV broadcasts to the consumer’s home and the availability of HDTV display devices at mass market costs [6]. Although the United States, Japan and Australia have been broadcasting HDTV for some years, real interest of the general public appeared recently with the severe reduction of HDTV home equipment price. Nowadays many broadcasters in Europe have started to offer HDTV broadcasts as part of Pay-TV bouquets (like BSkyB, Sky Italia, Premiere, Canal Digital ...). Other major public broadcasters in Europe have plans for offering HDTV channels in the near future. The announcement of Blu-Ray Disc and Game consoles with HDTV resolutions has also increased consumer demand for HDTV broadcasting. The availability of different HDTV image formats such as 720p/50, 1080i/25 and 1080p/50 places the question for many users which HDTV format should be used with which compression algorithm, together with the corresponding bit rate.

  • AT12: Closed Captioning on Video
    Closed Captioning on Video – FAQ What does it really mean to create an “equal” viewing experience with captioning? Equal access requires that the meaning and intention of the material is completely preserved. That’s everything from making sure that you caption the sound effects and the dialogue, accents, the grammatical errors, etc. The goal here is to convey exactly what’s being communicated. In addition, there are times when you must edit the dialogue. This could be because somebody is speaking rapidly and there’s just not enough time to get all the words on the screen. Most video production teams have a policy where we edit dialogue to be shorter and simpler. We don’t want to edit out important vocabulary. We don’t want to change concepts. It needs to be an equal representation. What font and size are best for closed captions? For closed captioning on most video players like YouTube, the player itself is going to dictate the settings, so you’re not going to have control over that. The caption display is customizable by the viewer, and can be affected by screen resolution and even what browser they’re using to watch your video. But for standard-definition videos with open captions, we use Arial (a sans-serif font) and a font size of 22. For the high-definition stuff where the resolution is greater, we bump that up to 44. As a rule, you should consider 32 characters per line as a good rule of thumb when captioning. How would I create closed captions on YouTube? If your videos are hosted on YouTube, there are a number of ways to create your own captions directly in the YouTube editing interface.

  • BA(Prog)III Yr 14/04/2020 Displays Interlacing and Progressive Scan
    BA(prog)III yr 14/04/2020 Displays • Colored phosphors on a cathode ray tube (CRT) screen glow red, green, or blue when they are energized by an electron beam. • The intensity of the beam varies as it moves across the screen, some colors glow brighter than others. • Finely tuned magnets around the picture tube aim the electrons onto the phosphor screen, while the intensity of the beamis varied according to the video signal. This is why you needed to keep speakers (which have strong magnets in them) away from a CRT screen. • A strong external magnetic field can skew the electron beam to one area of the screen and sometimes caused a permanent blotch that cannot be fixed by degaussing—an electronic process that readjusts the magnets that guide the electrons. • If a computer displays a still image or words onto a CRT for a long time without changing, the phosphors will permanently change, and the image or words can become visible, even when the CRT is powered down. Screen savers were invented to prevent this from happening. • Flat screen displays are all-digital, using either liquid crystal display (LCD) or plasma technologies, and have replaced CRTs for computer use. • Some professional video producers and studios prefer CRTs to flat screen displays, claiming colors are brighter and more accurately reproduced. • Full integration of digital video in cameras and on computers eliminates the analog television form of video, from both the multimedia production and the delivery platform. • If your video camera generates a digital output signal, you can record your video direct-to-disk, where it is ready for editing.

Interlacing is a widely used be broadcast. Transmission of interlaced videos was widely technique, for television broadcast and video recording, to popular in various television broadcasting systems such as double the perceived frame rate without increasing the NTSC [2], PAL [3], SECAM. Many broadcasting agencies bandwidth. But it presents annoying visual artifacts, such as made huge profits with interlaced videos. Video acquiring flickering and silhouette "serration," during the playback. systems on many occasions naturally acquire interlaced video Existing state-of-the-art deinterlacing methods either ignore and since this also proved be an efficient way, the popularity the temporal information to provide real-time performance of interlaced videos escalated. but lower visual quality, or estimate the motion for better deinterlacing but with a trade-off of higher computational cost. The question `to interlace or not to interlace' divides the TV and the PC communities. A proper answer requires a common understanding of what is possible nowadays in deinterlacing video signals. This paper outlines the most relevant methods, and provides a relative comparison.

PAL - 625 scanlines 25 fps Europe, Scandinavia parts of Asia, Pacific & South Africa. PAL in Brazil is 30fps and PAL colours 3. SECAM France Russia Middle East and North Africa PROGRESSIVE VS INTERLACED VIDEO All computer monitors use a progressive scan - each scan line in sequence. Interlacing is only for CRT monitors. LCD monitors work totally differently - no need to worry about. Interlacing is for broadcast TV. Every other line displayed alternatively. FRAME RATES As we transition from analogue video to digitla video. Film is 24 fps, PAL video 25 fps. NTSC 30fps.
