CVAA affects every device, website, distributor, producer, and network that carries long form broadcast content. Increased media attention and regulatory scrutiny regarding the need for captioning All signs point toward broad captioning requirements for most video content distributed to end users for web usage Distributors required to pass through the captions to end users without diminishing caption quality Overview

Satisfy immediate requirements of FCC CVAA mandate for long form programming Automate the repurposing of closed captioning for IP based video Solution for clips being required in the future Large and growing number of distribution partners and platforms requiring CC information Legacy processes, systems and workflows do a poor job of dealing with Closed Captions Challenge to capture and retain live captioned programming Eliminate manual effort for caption and video description compliance Challenges
