Revolutionary Alta Platform Enhancements

AI-Media's latest updates to the Alta platform underscore the company’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology for live video captioning and subtitling:

• SMPTE ST 2110-43 Support: AI-Media's Alta now supports outputting live captions in a 2110-43 stream, leveraging the popular standard for transporting Timed Text Markup Language (TTML) within 2110 streams. This enables broadcasters to send non-Latin character sets in low bandwidth and facilitates easy integration with third-party systems, as well as conversion to online formats for OTT distribution.
• Audio Dubbing Capabilities: LEXI audio dubbing support in Alta TS. Broadcasters will be able to create synthetically dubbed audio tracks in multiple languages, which can be inserted into MPEG TS output streams, offering new layers of accessibility.
• SCTE Trigger Automation: Alta's LEXI triggering automation enables automated control of captions during ad breaks. LEXI captions will automatically pause, or resume based on SCTE triggers, streamlining ad break management. Triggers can also be used to position captions.
• DVB Subs Customization: Alta TS now allows end users to configure DVB Subs/bitmap caption appearance, including font size, colours, and positioning. This supports image-based characters, expanding accessibility for Asian languages.
• Google Cloud Deployment: In addition to AWS, Alta is now deployable in Google Cloud, providing broadcasters with more cloud-based alternatives to enhance their operations.

The latest updates to the Alta platform are game-changers for broadcasters, offering unparalleled automation, flexibility, efficiency, and accessibility enhancements that meet the demands of modern media environments, from cloud-native deployments to advanced automation and multilingual support.
