Completing the fields in the CC channel number

Focus mode
Completing the fields in the CC channel number - AWS Elemental Live
  • CC Channel number: This field specifies the language to extract. Complete as follows:

    • If you are setting up embedded passthrough only (you are creating only one captions selector for the input embedded captions), this field is ignored, so keep the default.

    • If you are setting up embedded-to-another-format, (you are creating several captions selectors, one for each language), enter the number of the CC instance (from the input) that holds the desired language. For example, if this captions selector is intended to hold the French captions and the French captions are in event 2, enter 2 in this field.

  • Force 608 to 708 Upconvert: The embedded source captions can be EIA-608 captions, CEA-708 captions, or both EIA-608 and CEA-708. You can specify how you want these captions to be handled when Elemental Live is ingesting content. The following table describes the behavior for various scenarios.

    EIA-608 in Source

    CEA-708 in Source

    Result

    Yes

    No

    Checked

    CEA-708 data is created based on the EIA-608 data. EIA-608 data is added as 608-compatibility bits in the CEA-708 data.

    Yes No

    Unchecked

    Original EIA-608 is preserved.

    No

    Yes

    Checked

    Original CEA-708 is preserved.

    No Yes

    Unchecked

    Original CEA-708 is preserved.

    Yes

    Yes

    Checked

    CEA-708 data is discarded. New CEA-708 data is created based on the EIA-608 data, and EIA-608 data is added as 608-compatibility bits in the CEA-708 data.

    The new CEA-708 data will not include any CEA-708 formatting features.

    Not recommended.

    Yes Yes

    Unchecked

    Original EIA-608 is preserved and original CEA-708 is preserved.

  • Use SCTE-20 if Embedded Unavailable: This field appears only if you set the Source to Embedded. If the source captions combine embedded (EIA-608 or CEA-708) and SCTE-20, you might want to set this field to Auto. Elemental Live will give preference to the 608/708 embedded captions but will switch to use the SCTE-20 captions when necessary. If you set this field to Off, Elemental Live will never use the SCTE-20 captions.
