Red Bee Media is a significant international supplier of access and related services, and the Australian service utilises new innovations in captioning delivery, including the Subito system. Subito is a system for captioning news and other live or near-live programs. It uses speech recognition technology to align pre-prepared captions with the audio of a program.
“The Ten deal very clearly shows that Australia has a healthy commercial market for access services and this links in strongly to the international scene,” said Alex Varley, CEO of Media Access Australia.
“This means that media companies have a good choice of suppliers and efficient new technologies and access systems quickly find their way to the Australian market.”
This securing of the Ten Network contract comes as Australia’s free-to-air networks are moving towards 100 per cent captioning on the networks’ primary channel in 2014.
