Then you choose the Configuration and the Caption Properties. For basic functions, the
default settings are fine. You may need to consult the hardware device manual. Also check
Chapter 2 for more information.
Captioning Video On-Site
If you are captioning a video on-site, the encoder is usually connected to the computer
running CaptionMaker via a serial cable. Make sure the serial cable is the right one for the
encoder you are using. EEG EN 230, EN 270, Norpak TES3, TES 5 use special serial cables.
Consult the hardware manual/ hardware manufacturer for the pin connections for the cable.
Most other encoders use standard straight 9 pin male to female cable.
Serial Connection
Check the radio button Connect via RS232 serial cable. Choose the appropriate comm. port.
All other parameters should be right for the appropriate encoder unless the encoder is not set
to its default value.
Captioning Video from Remote Location
If you are captioning a video generated at a remote location, you need to connect your
computer to the encoder located at the remote location via a telephone line using a modem
attached to your computer. The encoder must have a built-in modem or a modem attached to
it. If you have a Norpak enoder, you may also connect the encoder via a LAN or via internet.
