Learn MoreDoCaption is a "swiss army knife" for encoding and transcoding. It can interface with enCaption as a caption encoder, transcode between numerous caption formats, and even embed time values and other data within a video stream.
Interface directly with enCaption to provide embedded captions in your video stream
Convert between international standards for caption formats
Transmit frame-accurate game time and scoreboard information in one stream
Include timecode, scene information, or any kind of data within the video stream
Decode a wide range of formats with a single hardware unit
All ENCO products are backed by our 24/7 US-Based support team.
DoCaption is a simple, inexpensive yet full-featured solution for broadcast quality closed caption encoding, insertion, and monitoring. Available in PCI compatible format or standalone format, DoCaption cards are easy to install and set-up, space-saving, and energy efficient. If you need a caption encoder, or are looking to replace an outdated model, DoCaption is the perfect solution.
Caption formats vary greatly between countries, making it especially difficult to produce international programming or interface gear from different countries of origin. DoCaption will automatically detect the format of 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs and output - even if they have different formats and framerates - and transcode them on the fly to your preferred format. Closed Captioning support is compliant with CEA-608, CEA-708, ST-334-1, ST-334-2, and WST/OP-42/OP-47/ST-2031 specifications.
Instant replay systems rely on accurate synchronization between the scoreboard timing system and video playback. However, this delicate balance can be difficult to manage in a complex system of multiple video processing points. With DoCaption, you can embed the timing directly in the video stream, giving you complete confidence in your instant replay system when every frame matters.
