An iCap access code is the string or passphrase that captioners will
provide to the iCap service in order to be connected to your encoder
to provide closed caption data. In this way, an iCap access code has
a similar role to the telephone number of your encoder in dial-up
modem captioning, although an iCap access code is both more
flexible and more secure.
For a captioner to connect to your encoder, you must create an
access code that points to the encoder, give iCap permission to let
your captioning contractor(s) connect to this access code, and then
tell your contractor(s) the name of the access code you created.
Some or all of these steps may be pre-configured based on your
input when you purchase a new encoder.
After connecting to the iCap Admin page and logging in, perform
the following steps to create and share a new access code:
1. Navigate to the Access Codes tab, and click the Add button.
2. Select a name for the new access code. This can be any
alphanumeric string, but it is suggested that you provide the
captioner a phrase with mnemonic value, for example by
including your station name and/or a designation of a
particular feed or program that the access code will be used
for.
3. Select the CC Service for the access code. Select "S1" for
primary language captioning to be encoded into CC1/S1, or
"S2" for secondary language captioning to be encoded into
CC2/CC3/S2. Please note that regardless of this setting, the
captioner must continue to send correct control commands
for the desired CC channel, using the same practices as for
modem captioning. Click Next.
4. Select a Primary Encoder from the drop-down list of your
company's encoder. The primary encoder provides an audio
feed to the remote captioner and receives caption data in
return. If you are only configuring a single encoder for this
access code, select that encoder here.
5. If you are configuring multiple encoders in a single access
code, add them by selecting their names one at a time from
the Add Secondary Encoder dropdown, and then clicking
Add to List. Secondary encoders receive all caption data
sent to the access code, but only provide audio data if the
