From the Lab: What we're working on

What we're working on is listed in no particular order.  That's because different people work on different tasks and there's no predicting who gets to what when -- or when they get done (alas!).

Magni MCP-601 Overlay generator interface

Add the interface to the free DynaCaption software.  It entails possibly opening a second RS-232 or USB port and we have to figure out an way to present this without overwhelming the user with all the options.

AutoCaption3 Helps

They need to be reorganized and linked in.  The exhaustive AutoCaption II helps are inappropriate to the highly flexible AutoCaption3 user interface.

Generate Resizeable Line 21 CC Waveform Overlays

There's some discussion about eliminating this troublesome feature all together.  Most NLEs do a rotten job of rendering the infinite bandwidth digital part of the waveform.  Many NLEs don't key the waveform into the VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval) properly.  So this "feature" has dubious practical value and sucks up gobs of support time.

That said, there are a lot of price sensitive low-end clients who only want to demonstrate they've attempted FCC or ADA compliance, or they really don't expect the captions to be viewed.

But if the feature is kept in AutoCaption3 the user must be able to specify the size and resolution of the overlay.
