Feature Request: SendCaptions CEA 708 Support

Open alexfrench opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

I'm using SendCaptions from .NET

Questions:

  1. Is the payload for the SendCaptions function the plain caption text only or is it meant to be encoded as a EIA608 caption with control commands?
  2. If the answer to (1) is plain text only, how can I set the caption row so that it appears at the bottom of the screen?

Thanks.

SendCaptions sends only plain text, with a permanent display duration (if I'm reading it correctly).

I see here that OBS allows us to submit CEA 708 caption data instead. I'll have to look into what would be necessary to add that functionality.

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I had not drilled down too far and assumed that it was CEA708. Any help on that would be awesome.
