Digital TV is supposed to have a lot of new features for captioning.
There are a bunch of stores where I am that sell fancy digital TVs...but try to get them to demonstrate the captioning, and you don't have much luck, or at least I haven't. Has anyone here seen CC on digital TV? What's it like? Are captioners actually using all the fancy features, or just doing the same old stuff as before?
- 64 colors
- eight fonts (really sixteen, since they can be italic or not)
- small, medium, or large text sizes
- potentially lots of captioning services on a single channel
- up to eight windows for a captioning service
- overlapping windows (not sure why you'd want this...)
