Vertical Position
In captioning, there are only 15 possible vertical positions. They are numbered 1-15.
Insert Music Symbol
Inserts a music symbol (the quarter note) to the caption text. There are two choices for this menu
item; Single Music Symbol and Surrounding Music Symbols (Places a music symbol before the
first letter and after the last letter in the caption text area).
To add Surrounding Music Symbols you may highlight a number of captions or a single caption,
and invoke this option. This option will place music symbols before the first letter and after the
last letter in the caption text area for all highlighted captions.
Convert Illegal Caption Characters
Many document editing programs may automatically change some punctuation or special
characters in your document into fancy Unicode characters such as the single-character ellipsis,
long dash, smart quotes, etc. However, these Unicode characters cannot be used in 608 closed
captions. Select this menu option to convert any illegal Unicode characters which are in your
caption text area, into their standard ASCII equivalents.
Device
The Caption Device function allows you to select which Hardware Encoder you will be using to
broadcast your live captions. Simply select which encoder you are using and then click on
Configure to choose which port your encoder is connected to. The Baud rate, Parity, Data bits,
and Stop bits will automatically default to the correct values for each encoder so it is not
necessary to change them.
