TVNZ, New Zealand’s public service broadcaster, has chosen SysMedia, leading specialist in subtitling solutions and content management and production systems for interactive TV and teletext, to supply its WinCAPS subtitling solutions for both offline programme and live news subtitling.
The contract, which was secured in conjunction with SysMedia’s New Zealand partner Magna Systems and engineering in Auckland, who will also provide ongoing local support, includes licenses for 10 offline workstations and four live workstations as well as two replay/transmission systems.
WinCAPS Multimedia, versatile subtitle preparation software for both live and pre-recorded content that boasts a host of time-saving and accuracy-enhancing features, has been selected to replace an existing WinCAPS Classic system that was installed in 1998. TVNZ has also added additional capacity to the new installation, which will enable them to meet its strategic objectives around enhancements to the captioning service.
