Agility Subtitling
Subtitling is a critical piece of the media production workflow, but is frequently a timely undertaking requiring broadcast chain hardware.
The Agility Subtitles module expands subtitling capabilities for content producers preparing media for the hearing impaired or global distribution. Agility offers a single streamlined workflow for government mandated closed subtitles for VOD and IPTV broadcast media.
Unlike alternative transcoding systems that limit your capability by offering only open subtitles, Agility also provides DVB bitmap and DVB Teletext subtitles that are compliant with government mandated requirements for VOD and IPTV broadcast media.
Universal Subtitle Ingest and Decoding
The Agility Subtitles module delivers maximum workflow flexibility with ingest of nearly all popular subtitling definition files, including EN 3264, native Softel, Screen and Sysmedia files. Whether subtitling is performed internally or outsourced to a provider, Agility Subtitles module seamlessly combines subtitle files from popular authoring systems with video during content transcoding.
Compliant Closed Subtitles for IPTV and VOD
Reaching audiences on IPTV and VOD platforms is a necessity for content producers. With Agility, content creators ingest subtitle definition files from authoring workstations and apply ETS 300 743 DVB bitmap and ETS 300 472 DVB Teletext closed subtitles to media. Agility produces standards compliant media with subtitles that are displayed with decoders found in IPTV and cable set top hardware.
