Chose either the mov or the avi zip file, unzip it and choose the appropriate mov or avi file for
your system. Open the video in your NLE software and output the video via your video
input/output device (not FireWire here) to your video deck. For details, click . To see the
captions, you would need a TV with its closed caption decoder turned on. If you see captions,
your NLE hardware is compatible.
NLE Systems Not Listed Above
Closed Caption data sits on Line 21 in NTSC (525 line) video. Captions sits on 720x486 NLE
video somewhere on row 0 through Row 2 depending on the NLE system. When you transfer
the 720x486 video to NTSC, you must use an NLE system which can map the caption data from
Row 0, 1 or 2 of 720x486 video to Line 21 of NTSC video.
CPC created a calibration video (7:30 minutes). The closed caption content of the first 5 seconds
of the calibration movie is "Row 0, Col 14" and it is generated with primary row set to 0 and
starting column set to 14; the next 5 seconds of the movie has the CC content of "Row 0, Col 15"
and is generated with primary row set to 0 and Starting Column set to 15. This shifting continues
through Row 0 and Column 40 at which time it shifts to Row 1 Column 15. The last movie
segment is Row 4 Column 40.
Please download and play one of the following caption encoded calibration videos (created with
different codecs) from
www.cpcweb.com/blackmovie on your NLE system and print the video

If do not see any captions at all, your NLE system is not caption compatible. And if you do see
captions, you need to pick a row and column value pair from the numbers you see. To avoid
errors, you pick the mid-value of all visible column numbers. In this example it is C 25. So the
preset NLE values for your NLE system is Primary Row: 0 and Starting Column: 25. Once you
