Hybrid dual layered approach to captioning brings greater flexibility and speed for users Canadian developer Profuz Digital, the technological and business counterpart of European manufacturer PBT EU, has unleashed a brand new timed-text platform that fuses the captioning/subtitling software SubtitleNEXT with its business processing system LAPIS. Following industry feedback that freelancers are increasingly constrained within closed proprietary platforms, the Profuz Digital team was driven to find a viable solution. Their exclusive hybrid approach has been designed to give users greater freedom of choice in how they work with desktop or cloud applications. There is also the flexibility to use the two platforms, SubtitleNEXT and LAPIS separately. Both layers/platforms can be owned by individuals, companies, or organisations by purchasing corresponding licenses, and can be leased for a period of time or used on a SaaS (Software as a Service) basis. SubtitleNEXT is a flexible platform for the creation of timed text for all recorded, streamed, and live media. Compatible with every major subtitle format, including closed-caption, exports for digital cinema projection and DVD, as well as burning in subtitles to video files up to 16K resolution, it performs all text-related tasks such as translating, spotting, transcoding, and QC. SubtitleNEXT may work directly with different storage schemes, securities, and protections, to satisfy all possible current and future requirements. Cloud systems only offer one scheme with material in a shared space which is something some clients don’t necessarily want or allow.
