Remarks and Explanations

7.1 Caption processing technology

Heading cell – no response required

Heading cell – no response required

7.1.1 Captioning playback

Where ICT displays video with synchronized audio, it shall have a mode of operation to display the available captions. Where closed captions are provided as part of the content, the ICT shall allow the user to choose to display the captions.

Note: Captions may contain information about timing, colour and positioning. This caption data is important for caption users. Timing is used for caption synchronization. Colour can be used for speaker identification. Position can be used to avoid obscuring important information.

Supports

The product allows users to enter closed captions for live meetings, and the shared videos can display captions.

7.1.2 Captioning synchronization

Where ICT displays captions, the mechanism to display captions shall preserve synchronization between the audio and the corresponding captions.

Supports

When the product displays captions, synchronization is preserved between the captions and the corresponding audio.

7.1.3 Preservation of captioning

Where ICT transmits, converts or records video with synchronized audio, it shall preserve caption data such that it can be displayed in a manner consistent with clauses 7.1.1 and 7.1.2.

Additional presentational aspects of the text such as screen position, text colours, text style and text fonts may convey meaning, based on regional conventions. Altering these presentational aspects could change the meaning and should be avoided wherever possible.

Supports

The product preserves captions in transmission and conversion, such as live captions in a meeting and captions in an exported recording. 

7.1.4 Captions characteristics

Where ICT displays captions, it shall provide a way for the user to adapt the displayed characteristics of captions to their individual requirements, except where the captions are displayed as unmodifiable characters.

       Note 1: Defining the background and foreground colour of subtitles, font type, size opacity of the background box of subtitles, and the contour or border of the fonts can contribute to meeting this requirement.

      Note 2: Subtitles that are bitmap images are examples of unmodifiable characters.

Supports

The product supports adapting the displayed characteristics of captions.

7.1.5 Spoken subtitles

Where ICT displays video with synchronized audio, it shall have a mode of operation to provide a spoken output of the available captions, except where the content of the displayed captions is not programmatically determinable.

      NOTE 1: Being able to manage speech output range for spoken subtitles independently from general ICT speech is preferable for most users. That is possible when the audio file with spoken subtitle is delivered in a separate audio track and mixed in the end users device.

      NOTE 2: Presenting the separate audio track with spoken subtitles in synchronization with the displayed subtitles/captions improves understandability of the subtitles.

      NOTE 3: Providing subtitles/captions as separate text-streams, facilitates converting the respective texts into audio.

      NOTE 4: Subtitles that are bitmap images are examples where the content of the displayed captions will not be programmatically determinable.

Not Applicable

The product does not support spoken subtitles.

7.2.1 Audio description playback

Where ICT displays video with synchronized audio, it shall provide a mechanism to select and play available audio description to the default audio channel.

Where video technologies do not have explicit and separate mechanisms for audio description, an ICT is deemed to satisfy this requirement if the ICT enables the user to select and play several audio tracks.

Note 1: In such cases, the video content can include the audio description as one of the available audio tracks.

Note 2: Audio descriptions in digital media sometimes include information to allow descriptions that are longer than the gaps between dialogue. Support in digital media players for this "extended audio description" feature is useful, especially for digital media that is viewed personally.

Supports

The product provides audio tracks option for users to select and play audio description tracks.

7.2.2 Audio description synchronization

Where ICT has a mechanism to play audio description, it shall preserve the synchronization between the audio/visual content and the corresponding audio description.

Supports

Audio description can be provided in a manner that is synchronized with the video content.

7.2.3 Preservation of audio description

Where ICT transmits, converts, or records video with synchronized audio, it shall preserve audio description data such that it can be played in a manner consistent with clauses 7.2.1 and 7.2.2.

Supports

The product preserves available audio description data.

7.3 User controls for captions and audio description

Where ICT primarily displays materials containing video with associated audio content, user controls to activate subtitling and audio description shall be provided to the user at the same level of interaction (i.e. the number of steps to complete the task) as the primary media controls.

Note 1: Primary media controls are the set of controls that the user most commonly uses to control media.

Note 2: Products that have a general hardware volume control, such as a telephone, or a laptop which can be configured to display video through software but which is not its primary purpose, would not need dedicated hardware controls for captions and descriptions; however software controls, or hardware controls mapped through software, would need to be at the same level of interaction.

Note 3: It is best practice for ICT to include additional controls enabling the user to select whether captions and audio description are turned on or off by default.

Partially Supports

The product provides user controls for captions and audio descriptions for prerecorded meeting but not for shared video.
