AV Subcommittee,
As we discussed yesterday, since "captioning" significantly impacts our
AV subcommittee I pulled this "Captioning" definition from the Subpart A
subcommittee for our review and comments rather than draft our own
definition:
"Captioning
Captions are synchronized text display(s) of information that is
presented on the screen in an audio format. Captions appear as written
representation of onscreen audio narration or spoken dialogue, Captions
are similar to subtitles, but also convey non-dialogue auditory
information that is important to the video, such as on- and off-screen
sound effects, music, and laughter that are synchronized with the images
on the screen."
