Configuring Closed Captioning
You can provide real-time text transcriptions or language translations of the video
conference by displaying closed captions on your system. When you provide
captions for a conference, the captioner uses a web browser to listen to the
conference audio and enter the caption text in the system’s web interface. When
the captioner sends a unit of text, all sites see it on the main monitor for 15 seconds.
The text then disappears automatically.
Audio Options for Closed Captioners
When you provide captions for a conference, the captioner may be present, or may
use a telephone or web browser to listen to the conference audio.
The captioner must receive audio from the conference in one of these ways:
• Attending one of the conferences sites
• Listening to the conference via the V500 web interface
• Listening to the conference via a speakerphone in the room at one of the
sites
