Information
Lower cost of subtitling
-
The cost of a subtitling system and the maintenance is much lower because
there is no special hardware required. All that is required is a normal PC with
CD ROM/DVD reader. This results in larger number of subtitlers, more
competition and lower subtitling prices.
Benefits for the subtitler
Lower cost of a subtitling system
-
The subtitling system consists of a normal PC only. No special hardware like
VCR, timecode reader and video in a window card is required. No
video/audio cables have to be connected. This means that no special
knowledge is required for connecting cables.
Faster subtitling process
-
Working with media files is much faster than using a VCR with a tape. For
example a few seconds of the programme can be repeated with a single
keypress and frame accurate IN/OUT timecode definition can be done very
fast.
No additional TV set is required
-
Because the video is displayed on the computer monitor with overlaid
subtitles and audio is played by the computer speakers/headphones the
additional TV set is not required.

Subtitle Preparation System

By using media files the subtitling preparation system becomes much simpler,
easier to set up and also less expensive.
