SmartCaption: Live & Offline Captioning Made Easy

TelVue SmartCaption is an affordable, simple way to caption your live channels and programming, whether on cable or streaming. It integrates seamlessly with HyperCaster playout and CloudCast streaming, creating a fully automated captioning workflow.

Just designate which programs need captions, or enable Smart Mode to automatically caption first-run and unique programming. Need to make quick edits? The built-in SmartCaption Editor is available right from your playout server or in the cloud.When paired with HyperCaster, SmartCaption can also provide open, in-room, and web captions for meetings and events (with available ports and connectivity). It’s accessibility made simple—and built directly into your workflow.

CaptionVue: Accessibility for Meetings & Events

For live meetings and events, TelVue CaptionVue delivers a complete caption display solution that makes participation easier for everyone.

Example of live event captions interface

CaptionVue is a dedicated device that provides simultaneous closed, open, in-room, and web live captions for your video sources. It accepts SDI, NDI, and streaming inputs and outputs multiple caption formats, perfect for large in-room displays, remote viewers on mobile devices, or hybrid audiences joining via webcast.

Whether you’re supporting government meetings, public events, or corporate conferences, CaptionVue ensures every participant can follow along, no matter how they’re attending.

AI-Powered Meeting Summaries & Search

Captioning does more than improve accessibility; it transforms your video library into a searchable resource. With TelVue’s AI Metadata tools, your meetings can be automatically summarized and divided into chapters with clickable timecodes.

Viewers can quickly find topics of interest, jump to key moments, and search across your entire library.Unlike traditional agendas, AI-generated summaries capture what was actually discussed, making it easier for your community to stay informed and engaged.

HyperCaster 9.0: Fully Automated Scheduling

Our upcoming HyperCaster 9.0 release takes scheduling automation to a whole new level. Enhanced Series Scheduling makes it easier to automate episodic programming with assigned time slots. The new layout is more intuitive, allows faster editing, and supports scheduling as far into the future as you’d like, even perpetually!

Program Segmentation Rules allow you to automatically add bumpers, insert sponsorship spots, create breakpoints and pad content to natural time boundaries, such as 5, 15, or 30 minutes,  perfect for sponsorships, announcements, and making your programming and program guide more professional.

New Scheduling Rules can automatically fill gaps around your series with themed daypart blocks, recent episodes, short-form content, or PSAs. Once your rules are set, simply add new content and your schedule programs itself!

Complete YouTube & Social Media Automation

If you’re broadcasting to YouTube, HyperCaster can now automate the entire process.

Authenticate your YouTube accounts, create broadcast presets with thumbnails and branding, and designate which events should be published.

YouTube video screen with TelVue automation and meta data

HyperCaster will automatically create broadcast events, apply metadata, manage playlists, negotiate stream keys, and start and stop streams, all hands-free.

Pre-recorded content can automatically be exported to your YouTube accounts and playlists.

CloudCast users can also automate cross-posting to social media whenever new videos are published. Share links to Facebook, Instagram, and X using customizable templates. For example, government meetings can automatically post to a town page, while local productions post to your station’s social channels.

We hope you’ll join us at JAG to see how TelVue can help you achieve accessibility compliance quickly and affordably, while saving time and growing your audience with powerful new automation tools. We look forward to seeing you there!
