Subtitling is a critical piece of the media production workflow, but is frequently a time consuming and often inefficient undertaking requiring a considerable amount of broadcast chain hardware. The Anystream Agility 2G Subtitles module expands subtitling capabilities for content producers needing to prepare media for the hearing impaired or local-languages for global distribution. Agility 2G provides a single streamlined workflow for government-mandated closed subtitles for on demand media targeted for TV, mobile and broadband playback.
Unlike other transcoding systems that offer only open subtitles, Agility 2G supports open subtitles for all output formats as well as DVB Bitmap and DVB Teletext subtitles that are compliant with government-mandated requirements for VOD and IPTV broadcast media.
The Agility 2G Subtitles module delivers maximum workflow flexibility with ingest of nearly all popular subtitling definition files, including EN 3264, native Softel, Screen, SoftNI and Cavena. Whether subtitling is performed internally or outsourced to a provider, the Agility 2G Subtitles module seamlessly integrates subtitle definitions from popular authoring systems during content transcoding.
Reaching audiences on IPTV and VOD platforms is vital for content producers. With Agility 2G, content creators ingest subtitle definition files from authoring workstations and apply ETSI 300 743 DVB bitmap and ETSI 300 472 DVB Teletext closed subtitles to media. Agility 2G produces standards compliant media with subtitles that are displayed with decoders found in IPTV and cable set top hardware.
Agility 2G decodes the subtitle input data and composites text onto the video image to create open subtitles for all Agility 2G formats for television, web and mobile display. Authoring system commands for font size, color and location are interpreted and applied to the open subtitles for complete control of the display.
