Available Subtitling and Captioning Characters
For subtitling, you can generate any character or symbol that you can generate on the
computer's screen, though you may have to download a font into the memory of your
external device depending on which one you are using.
However, captioning is a different case. The closed caption encoder does not actually
draw the characters, but tells the closed caption decoder which characters to display.
The languages supported by typical closed caption decoders include the following:
•
Dutch, English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish.
