Among the points of discussion expected in Sachs and Scheel’s presentation are the comparisons of broadcast caption quality against the original caption quality report done prior to file-based distribution and how this approach enables identification and isolation of potential errors in the broadcast chain. It will also cover an automated solution that has been implemented at PBS for caption compliance and to improve viewer experience.

PBS TechCon16 is scheduled for April 13-15 and will take place at the Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. “Closed Captioning Quality Lifecycle” is slotted for 11:30 a.m. on April 15.
