Description
CCapture provides an effortless method to simultaneously decode and record multiple channels of closed caption and EDS data transmitted on Field 1/Field 2 of Line 21. A simple user interface permits advance scheduling of unattended recordings on up to four broadcast or cable programs concurrently. Recorded data is stored on the local PC hard disk and/or sent in ANPA wire format to any newsroom automation system.
CCapture is a valuable tool for creating transcripts of competitive newscasts, court proceedings, presidential speeches, network affiliate newsfeeds, and any other captioned news programs of interest. CCapture is also useful for recording and posting your own programming to your station's World Wide Web site.
