Summary | 0001339: Add CCAP display to standalone player | ||||
Description | Would be nice to have a CCAP display in the player. Something that's clearly discernible from subtitles/open captions. Maybe a box in the lower part of the screen, or immediately below the video window, boxed, and indicated as CCAP. Shouldn't need much space, as only a limited number of chars and lines are allowed/recommended anyway. Maybe sooner or later we need to have something like that in DCP-o-matic main as well, so people know what they do to CCAPs. Also, when CCAPs are selected/checked, disable all display/appearance options in DCP-o-matic.

Good point. In an ideal world I guess the display would be representative of the some common CCAP system or other... is there a dominant one? What are its characteristics? Is there no CCAP system that respects any of the appearance / formatting markup? I'm pretty much clueless about CCAP as we didn't have them where I used to work. |
|
Harold Hallikainen designs one of the major CCAP systems, he has put some documents together what to expect from a system. In short, up to three lines, up to 30/32 chars per line. http://isdcf.com/papers/ISDCF-Doc9-Closed-Caption-Authoring-Best-Practices.pdf

OK it's in a separate window in ded71cffd18962ebb6b9611a5eb6dfafe9e8e4ec Maybe there's somewhere we can put it in the main window, though perhaps this is a fairly niche thing to spend permenant screen real-estate on. |
|
Yup. A detachable window that displays automatically whenever there is CCAP content? |
|
Yes, a separate window. At the moment it doesn't automatically open, but perhaps it should. |
|
Restrictions/notes from Harold's doc:
|
|
Maybe create a fixed aspect ratio CCAP window, with an indicator for allowed line length? Could almost look like a VU-Meter - if text expands too far to the right, make it red. Should line length be monitored and hints being given before making the DCP? I guess content analysis could do that? I understand, line-wrapping is allowed, but what if all text elements don't fit onto 3*30? Guess it's okay to leave it to the user in general, but do create a hint.
|
|
Hints for overlap and line length / too many lines are in master now. There's an awkward case of subs which are muxed into a video file being used as CCAPs; in that case it may take a long time to fish them out of the video file to check. The hints dialog should cope with this (running the check in the background with a progress meter) but I haven't tested that yet. |
|
I think this is more or less resolved now. |
|
The Player plays the current ISDCF SMPTE Testcontent, incl. open captions with the right timing and position, and including closed captions. Good ;-) |
