| Font Support for FCC
Standards for Closed Captioning Font Fusion supports font requirements mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as specified by the Electronics Industries Alliance (EIA), including all the required and optional characters in the EIA-708-B specification. Bitstream can now provide developers with a complete solution for closed captioning display on both analog and digital television systems, including fonts, font styles, and font attributes. Character Edge Effects
Closed captioning involves displaying the "audio" portion of a TV broadcast as text, which is superimposed over the video portion. Most importantly, it allows viewers who are hearing impaired to access TV broadcasts. To display closed-captioned text, the viewers must have a set-top box decoder or a TV receiver that includes this decoding capability. The FCC has updated its closed captioning requirements for digital TVs. As of July 1, 2002, manufacturers must include FCC-mandated decoder circuitry for closed captioning in their digital TV devices. |
