ACE Flex 4

The ACE-FLEX-4 is an Automated Captioning Engine that will receive audio containing speech and send out captioning data to be encoded by a closed captioning encoder. This unit has four inputs and with four outputs that can be used simultaneously. The unit uses a cutting-edge computational linguistics program to convert speech to text and then sends that text out with captioning data. The captioning data and text can be sent out by either RS 232 (Serial) or TCP/IP.

The ACE-FLEX-4/ENC includes a built-in caption encoder, eliminating additional equipment and creating an easy all-in- one workflow.

Like all ACE series products, the FLEX4 is an on-premise solution that does not require an internet connection to function. Although an internet connection is not required, connecting to a network provides streamlined workflows and remote GUI access.

The ACE-FLEX-4 can receive four seperate audio inputs, it can de-embed the first
two channels of audio from four SDI or HDMI inputs. Audio from a streaming source is another way that the system can receive audio. Each channel is run independently and can caption similtainiously. Multiple customizations can be programmed into the units inserters including, speaker identification, number of characters per line, number of lines visible and more. Once a captioning task has been completed, a file is generated with selected transcript files. Some of the file types include text files, caption files, subtitle files, or time coded text files.
