NEW EEG DE285CC EASES CLOSED CAPTIONING FOR STADIUMS, EVENTS AND LIVE PRESENTATIONS
Leading HD Open Caption Solution is Ideal for Networked Systems at Live Events, from the Pacesetter in Closed Captioning
FARMINGDALE, NY: EEG (www.eegent.com), the pacesetter for closed caption solutions, has introduced the DE285CC HD Caption Decoder. A sibling of EEG’s DE285 HD, the DE285CC provides live event productions with an efficient TCP/IP-based Caption Text Server that allows devices and software to easily connect over a network and receive a live caption stream.
The EEG DE285 line provides the most advanced HD open caption display for monitoring data quality and standards compliance. The streamlined feature set of EEG’s cost-effective DE285CC makes it ideal for presentations, stadiums, mobile production units and other live events. For broadcasters who also require extremely comprehensive VANC monitoring capabilities, the flagship DE258 HD provides a wide array of monitoring features and a highly advanced Web interface.
The DE285CC was designed with the high-pressure demands of live venues in mind: feeding captions to scoreboards, stadiums, presentations, and event displays has never been easier. Simply input the captioned video source to the 285CC – it connects easily to your display device of choice, which receives the text-only feed.
In addition to its full on-screen caption decoder feature set, other highlights of the DE285CC include:
- Affordable price point
- Extremely low power consumption
- No cooling fan for a vastly reduced noise output, making the DE285CC ideal for trucks and live presentation environments.
“We have seen a great reception industry-wide for the next-generation DE285, which is the standard-setter in EIA-708 broadcast and post production closed caption decoders,” says Philip McLaughlin, President of EEG. “The new DE285CC reduces the cost and complexity of captioning for a wide range of events, by integrating with maximum ease into networks at live venues.”
