POSSIBLE REMEDY
You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the closed I
captioning production company may pass through uncorrected. A
prerecorded program will not show arLy misspelled words because of the
normal time available for editing the captions.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind i'he actual dialogue are
common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can
display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue
exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions remain
up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may
cause scrambled or incomplete capdoas to appear.
Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to speed up the
actual program so that additional advertising time can be given. Since the
decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions will be lost.
The video tape was either an illegal ccpy or the tape duplicating company
accidentally left out lhe captioning signals during the copying process.
