Audio Options for Closed Captioners

You can provide real-time text transcriptions or language translations of the
video conference by displaying closed captions on your system. When you
provide captions for a conference, the captioner uses a web browser to listen
to the conference audio and enter the caption text in the system's web
interface. When the captioner sends a unit of text, all sites see it on the main
monitor for 15 seconds. The text then disappears automatically.
Closed captions are supported between VSX systems with software version 7.0
or later.
When you provide captions for a conference, the captioner may be present, or
may use a telephone or web browser to listen to the conference audio.
The captioner will need to receive all audio from the conference using one of
the following methods:
• Attending one of the conferences sites
• Participating in the conference as an audio site
• Listening to the conference via VSX Web
• Listening to the conference via a speakerphone in the room at one of the
sites
