Subject: $a, 4B harmonization

Here is my attempt to align the 4-A - Caption Playback provisions with the
4-B - Supplemental Audio Playback provisions. Both appended below.

Can the chairs deposit this in the Sandbox?

... Larry ...

4-A - Caption Playback
Analog television, digital television and tuners, computer equipment, and
other products must provide support for closed and open captions:
1. Products that are governed by U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) regulations 47 CFR 15.119 (Closed caption decoder requirements for
analog television receivers) and 47 CFR 15.122 (Closed caption decoder
requirements for digital television receivers and converter boxes) must
provide support for TV closed captions and open captions.
Such equipment must either pass TV caption data to the caption decoding
circuitry of analog and DTV displays for decoding as displayed text, or
decode TV caption data and pass on a decoded ("open-captioned") video signal
to the display.
2. Products that do not fall under the regulation of the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), including personal video display devices
and software players, must provide support for a functional equivalent to TV
closed captions.
Such products must either pass TV caption data to the caption decoding
circuitry of DTV displays for decoding as displayed text or decode a
functional equivalent to TV closed captions and pass on a decoded
("open-captioned") video signal to the display.

4-B - Supplemental Audio Playback
Television tuners, including tuner cards for use in computers, must support
video description playback:
1. Analog-signal tuners must be equipped with Secondary Audio Program (SAP)
playback circuitry as defined by the Multichannel Television Sound standard
developed by the Broadcast Television Systems Committee (BTSC) in 1984.
2. Digital-signal tuners must be equipped with ancillary audio program
playback circuitry according to the A/53 standard developed by the Advanced
Television Systems Committee (ATSC), major elements of which were adopted by
the FCC in December of 1996.

Larry,
Something about your message reminds me that we need to cover the
economic impact for the section 4 and section 6 items today... :)

Not today on the phone, but yes online. Any suggestions as to how to
