No encoder. No captioner contract. Still on air.
Insert live captions into SRT and MPEG-TS workflows from the cloud. Keep the transcoder, packager, playout and vendors around it exactly where they are.
- $0 hardware to buy
- No video re-encoding
- No per-channel licence
The cloud path
Replace the box, not the chain
Send the contribution feed to SyncWords. We add the caption data and return it to the next system. The video itself is never transcoded.
Start before the transcoder
Use SRT and MPEG-TS for embedded EIA-608, Teletext and DVB-family delivery.
Keep the hardware during migration
SyncWords can drive the encoder you already own over IP until the cloud path proves itself.
Choose AI or a human source
Generate captions automatically, book professional CART or ingest the captioner you already use.
Scale channels when the schedule spikes
Launch pop-up and tournament feeds without buying capacity that sits idle afterwards.
What survives the move
Everything the distribution team checks twice
The useful replacement is the one that leaves the stream behaving like the stream.
Ad structure
SCTE-35 and SSAI are preserved across every language output.
Broadcast formats
EIA-608, Teletext, DVB-SUB and DVB-TTML from the same cloud stack.
Redundant paths
Dual-pipeline A/B failover is available for the channels that cannot go dark.
Put it beside the encoder on a real feed
Run both paths. Measure the caption behavior. Keep the one that makes sense after the test.
