This option enables:
- the output (in the SDI output) of Closed Captioning, Subtitle (OP47) and VANC data such as SCTE35.
- the burn-in of SRT side-car captions (embedded captions not supported - requires the DGO option)
For Closed Captioning, CEA-708 and CEA-608, used mainly in the United States it supports captions in:
- a QuickTime closed captioning track
- a MXF closed captioning track
- in SD, in VBI signal
- a SRT sidecar file (in the same folder and using the same name as the video file)
For OP47, (used mainly in the Europe and Australia) it supports:
- a MXF-OP47 file (with OP47 embedded in the file)
- a SRT or STL sidecar file (in the same folder and using the same name as the video file)
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
- OP47 requires OnTheAir Video 4 or later.
- Make sure to use a supported hardware (check our help desk's help center). It must support to output VANC.
- You will not be able to mix and match frame rate. You will have to use clips that are the same fps as the output settings. If using a QuickTime video track, it must be created using the same format and fps as the output.
WHAT KIND OF LICENSE WILL YOU RECEIVE? HOW TO ADD AN OPTION?
If you are ordering an option together with a license, you will receive one serial number (or one dongle if you purchased the dongle option) that contains everything, the application license, with all the options.
If you already have the license and that you order this option at a later time, depending on the type of license that you own, you will have different options:
- If you are using a Serial Number, you will receive an upgrade serial number that you will add to the list of serial numbers in the "License" window and activate it, just as a "Master Serial Number" (the one that you received when you first ordered. This means that you will always have to have the 2 Serial Numbers activated.
- If you are using a Dongle, you will need to send us the serial number of the dongle that you intend to upgrade. We will then update our database, and you will follow the dongle upgrade procedure.
- If you are using a Serial Number but want to upgrade to a dongle, simply order a dongle from our store and in the comments of the order, indicate the serial number(s) license(s) that should be migrated to it. You will have to deactivate them, before we can migrate them to the dongle.
SERIAL NUMBER OR DONGLE ?
By default, when ordering a license, you will receive a Serial Number by email that will require an activation using an internet connection. Before moving your serial number to another computer, you will need to deactivate it from the first computer. It will not be possible to activate the license on another computer if it was not first deactivated from the first computer.
This is why we strongly advise ordering the dongle option in cases of a critical use of the software. For example, a dongle is recommended if you need to move your license frequently from one computer to another, OR if you want to quickly move the license from the main computer to the backup in case of a hardware malfunction.
For more information on the activation/deactivation process or the dongles, you should have check the Help Center about our licenses available on the Softron Support Desk. You can also read the information on the dongle product page.
