File Processing


Preview Generator

The Isis Preview Generator software creates a permanent overlay of closed caption World System Teletext, or open caption subtitles, onto Windows Media or SpectreView encoded MPEG video files. This enables preview copies of a broadcast file to be processed quickly and easily and avoids the need for any external video processing hardware. The resulting preview copy can be electronically transferred to a client (or burnt to a DVD) and thereby eliminates the need to create and ship preview tapes for client approval of closed, or open, caption projects.

Automatic Subtitle QC Service

The Subtitle QC Service is designed to detect typical subtitle errors (such as overlapping timecues or illegal durations) without human intervention. The service does not attempt to correct the errors but generates an error report to enable the subtitle file to be manually checked and verified. The error report can be automatically delivered to a number of specified email addresses.
