Closed Captions

2. An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape is being played.

3. Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.

4. The signal from the antenna is weak.

5. The program wasn’t captioned when it was produced, transmitted, or taped.

Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written words

which then appear as subtitles on the television screen. Closed captions allow viewers to read the dia-

logue and narration of television programs.

Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of television programs.

For prerecorded programs, program dialogue can be arranged into captions

in advance. Its possible to caption a live program by using a process called

real-time captioning, which creates captions instantly. Real-time captioning is

normally done by professional reporters using a machine shorthand system

and computer for translation into English.

Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it can also aid

in teaching language skills.

• The picture at left shows a typical caption.

• IGNITION:

Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from black spots, or horizontal streaking.

Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,

electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

• GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits and follows two paths. One is the

direct path and the other is reflected off tall buildings, hills or other objects.

Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve reception.

• SNOW:

If your receiver is located at the weak, fringe area of a TV signal, your picture

may be marred by small dots. It may be necessary to install a special antenna

to improve the picture.
