Matrox to showcase captioning of live web programming
By Jim Bask
One of the disconnects in the broadcast industry at the moment lies with the way that traditional linear TV is highly regulated with all sorts of legislative structures in place to promote diversity and access. And how much of the rapidly growing OTT and IPTV-native side of the industry quite conspicuously isn’t.
That’s not going to be the situation for ever and, also with a firm eye on a gap in the market, matrix’s Monarch HDX dual-channel encoder now features the ability to caption live internet programming. Retrieving closed-captioning data from the SDI VANC, the unit’s caption-enhanced H.264 media can be streamed to video hosting platforms including YouTube Live or a variety of content delivery networks.
