The Milwaukee City Channel recently added 24-hour, bilingual, automated captioning to all broadcasts with an ACE 2200 Closed Captioning Engine.
A one-time purchase with no annual, recurring fees allows us to broadcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for all production coming out of our studios. This includes all live meeting coverage, live press conferences and events, as well as post production edit projects. Anything not broadcast on our regular City Channel air feed gets re-encoded through the system and post captioned in a matter of minutes.
For bilingual viewers, the Spanish language is available on the CC3 closed captioning channel.
Making the switch from human captioning to an automated system was an outstanding investment for us. This completely eliminated annual costs, errors and corrections, captioning requests when broadcasts were missed or not captioned at all. Integrating it into our master control system was a smooth transition and it has been running seamlessly since.
Glad to have it!
