LOS ANGELES-( )-CPC’s MacCaption Player, which provides the highest quality HD closed captioned/subtitled video to Museum Kiosks, is being released today at the American Association of Museums’ “MuseumExpo” in Los Angeles. MacCaption Player displays HD captioned video superior in quality to Blu-ray®. Plus, it runs on reliable Mac computers, and eliminates the need for complicated and expensive authoring of disc media. Video Quality Superior to Blu-ray® MacCaption Player can output captioned and subtitled HD video superior to that of Blu-ray® because of its capability to accept video exported directly from a broadcast editing system, using the video format that is native to the editing system, such as Apple ProRes. Runs on Reliable and Energy Efficient Mac Computers MacCaption Player software runs on a Mac mini or any other newer model Mac computer. Mac computers such as the Mac mini have earned the EPA’s Energy Star certification, which will lower users’ energy bills. No More Disc Media Authoring and Compression Fees Blu-ray® and DVD® require video compression, which degrades video quality.

MacCaption Player does not require video compression, resulting in higher video quality whether you are displaying HD or SD video to the public. Complicated and expensive authoring of disc media also is not needed. Wall/tabletop Interface Enables the Public to Display Captions and Switch Languages MacCaption Player software comes with a display controller that allows the public to control the display of captions and subtitles. Connecting the controller is simple, and uses standard cables such as USB and HDMI. In most cases, no additional wiring is necessary. On the other hand, public display controllers for Blu-ray® players typically must be custom built.

Closed Captioning – It’s the Law! The ADA (American’s with Disabilities Act) requires that video shown in public accommodations such as museums be accessible to the hard-of-hearing.

Closed captioning is a perfect way to meet this requirement. About CPC – The Closed Captioning Software Leader MacCaption Player is the latest addition to CPC’s industry-leading line of closed captioning and subtitling software. Since releasing the first simultaneous closed captioning/teleprompting software in 1986, CPC has been the captioning and subtitling industry leader. CPC also operates an award winning captioning and subtitling service.
