The largest caption delivery network in the world, the iCap Cloud Network makes it possible to distribute your captions from any source to any screen. It helps reduce operating costs and ensures reliable caption delivery with minimal latency – whether for a TV broadcast, virtual meeting, in-venue display or over-the-top content platform.
The Challenge
The Trail Blazers previously used live human captioners to provide accessibility for its game coverage. However, its technical team was spending significant time managing captioning resources, and the cost of human captions soon exceeded its production budget.
The Solution
The Trail Blazers saved significant time and money with an end-to-end live captioning solution that combined our AI-powered LEXI automatic captions with AI-Media’s Encoder Pro SDI encoder. LEXI delivered up to 98% caption accuracy while also decreasing per-hour costs, while Encoder Pro streamlined workflows and ensured low-latency captions.

We offer a comprehensive range of on-premises, virtualized and cloud encoders covering SDI, IP, RTMP/S and 4K. Our most popular encoders include:
All our IP and SDI caption encoders are compatible with third-party automated and human captioning services. However, by using AI-Media’s LEXI automatic captions or human captions, you can build an end-to-end solution without the costly and time-consuming need to integrate third-party offerings.
The CCMatch delay parameter allows our IP caption encoder users to match video and audio with live captions with perfect synchronization to the end viewer. CCMatch also aids in production and clipping by making sure live captions are contained completely within a segment, without overhang from programming into commercial blocks.
Our SDI and IP captioning encoders are suitable for broadcast TV in the USA (in CEA-708 Standard), or in DVB regions like the UK, Australia, and the EU (in OP-47/DVB Teletext standard.)
