    New HDMI-capable CC Decoder

    That's probably because you have CC decoder turned on inside the TV and it's able to decode CC from external source using composite cables. That's pretty much a standard (line 21). I doubt the Samsung player is responsible for this. I looked at Samsung web site and could not find BD-C6600 and...

    I got new DVR but won't CC for output

    Don't you want to watch TV in High Definition? If so, try this: 1. Disconnect all video and audio cables between Cisco box and TV. 2. Connect HDMI cable between Cisco box and TV. Audio is included inside HDMI cable. 3. Set your TV input to where HDMI cable is connected. 4. Configure your...

    I got new DVR but won't CC for output

    Are you trying to use TV's built-in CC decoder to display CC with signal from Cisco DVR? It may not be possible anymore because Cisco DVR may be all digital. In order for your HDTV to decode CC from cable box, the signal must be analog and 480i or lower. You have an HDTV and it defeats the...

    Yes, CC in latest "Bones" episode looked great. I hope FOX fix CC delay issues for all shows. Peter

    CC delay appears to continue on FOX. I watched Human Target last night and CC is still delayed. Peter

    Super Bowl Commercials - CC Quality?

    I also saw delay from House episode using OTA antenna. It does not sound like a local station issue, more like nationwide issue. It was not fun. Peter

    Super Bowl Commercials - CC Quality?

    I use OTA antenna and CC in commercials was not only bad but many commercials didn't even have CC!!!! I would also grade it a big fat "F". Peter

    New HDMI-capable CC Decoder

    So your plan is to connect from an external source like DVD player with both HDMI and component out going into your product. Then your product will decode CC from component and overlay CC onto HDMI and finally transmit both HD video signal and CC through HDMI to the TV. Pretty clever. Peter

    New HDMI-capable CC Decoder

    I think I understand. Sounds like it's not designed for the consumer market. I have been confused lately about CC and component cables. My first HDTV was a 60" Sony LCD rear projection TV with DVI input. I had a Samsung DVD player with DVI and component out. In order for my TV to decode CC...

    New HDMI-capable CC Decoder

    Using HDMI and Media Center Edition with CC turned on in MCE, CC is displayed on my HDTV with CC turned off in TV. I believe you are correct that Microsoft simply decodes CC, overlays onto the video and transmit onto HDMI. I believe that's how all other external sources work including Panasonic...

    New HDMI-capable CC Decoder

    I am a firmware/software engineer and I know how Microsoft do their business. They don't seem to be creative on their own and steal other people's ideas like their C-sharp is practically a copy of Java. So, I won't be surprised Microsoft did their own way of transmitting CC to TV via HDMI...

    New HDMI-capable CC Decoder

    Before analog OTA went dead, analog TV recording included CC in Media Center Edition. But I am not sure if it was Microsoft proprietary CC or old fashion line 21 CC. I started with Windows 2005 MCE at least five years ago when digital HDTV was around the corner. I started with DVI cables...

    New HDMI-capable CC Decoder

    Hi CCman, Yes, I was already aware that CC is not part of HDMI signal but overlays onto video signal and transmits via HDMI. That's how Panasonic or any other external sources do. All external sources that's CC capable super-impose CC onto video signal (or any other signal) and transmit...

    New HDMI-capable CC Decoder

    I have a home-built PC with Windows 7 and Media Center Edition. The PC also has two HDTV tuners. Media Center Edition records, preserves and displays CC over HDMI. The only drawback is that it only works with OTA antenna. It won't work with digital cable or satellite dish. I don't care because I...

    HDTV, DVD player, and Cable

    I don't recall seeing any modern Blu-ray movie containing CC? I remember one older Blu-ray movie did contain CC but I don't remember the name. The only way for that to work is the Blu-ray player must be able to decode CC from Blu-ray disc, overlay CC onto the video signal and transmit to HDMI...

    HDTV, DVD player, and Cable

    I made a typo. When I said composite cables, I meant component cables. My old Samsung DVD player along with older HDTV, the CC did work if the DVD player was set to interlace (non-progressive scan). I believe modern HDTV or DVD players will not allow component cables to work with CC which is...

    HDTV, DVD player, and Cable

    You can try composite cables (three cables) and set your DVD player to non-progressive scan (or interlace) if your DVD player allows you to do that. This way you can still watch in high definition with CC. My old Samsung DVD player with older HDTV using composite cables worked for CC. But...

    CC and Plasma TV's?

    New plasma TV's are much better and last much longer than the original plasmas. Today's plasma has much better technology that greatly reduced, if not eliminated, the burn-in. I wouldn't worry about the burn-in. I've owned my 65" Panasonic plasma for a little over a year and not a single issue...

    Does Cisco Explorer 8642HDC have CC????

    If the previous model Cisco DVR has CC, then it's very likely the latest model will also have CC. Peter
