Screen Provides Captioning Systems To Television New Zealand

Screen Subtitling Systems have supplied captioning solutions to Television New Zealand to support captioning across its SD and HD services on the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) platform.
Television New Zealand has acquired from Screen a Polistream system comprising two P5000s, three P4000s and two A4002s. The Screen equipment transcodes Teletext captions into DVB subtitles for the TVOne and TV2 HD services on DTT.
In order to fulfil TVNZ's specific requirements, Screen has designed the system to output data directly over UDP rather than using the more traditional ASI stream.
TVNZ, a free-to-air broadcaster, operates five channels on the DTT Freeview platform (TVOne and TV2 in HD, plus the three digital-only channels, TVNZ 6, TVNZ 7, Sport Extra in SD).
Programming is broadcast to viewers within four regions: Auckland, Waikato, Wellington and South Island. Using their Freeview set-top box or Integrated Digital Television, viewers are able to view captioning/subtitling on all TVNZ services, whether SD or HD.
Further information is available at: www.screen.subtitling.com.
