Select Direct Captions (SDC) is a captioning system for movies and live theatre productions. The system is designed for use by deaf and hard-of-hearing people but can also be used to deliver foreign language subtitles to any audience member in the language of their choice.The user will select their seat location and language preferences using our free app, and then they will see their chosen captions displayed above or below the screen. Other cinema users will be totally unaware that the system is in use, so would be able to watch the showing as normal without disturbance.No viewing aids are necessary, and no head/eye tracking is used (all seat positions are pre-calibrated on installation). The technology doesn't require the user to adjust their focus, so eliminates the eye-strain issues that can occur from using gadgets that require continual close/far refocusing. There are no individual parts or shared equipment so this eliminates the risk of damage, theft and germs that are associated with gadget-based systems.Ultimately, we are aiming for every cinema in the UK to offer SDC in at least one of its screens, vastly improving accessibility for deaf and hard-of-hearing cinema goers.

选择直接字幕（SDC）是电影和现场戏剧作品的字幕系统。该系统是为聋人和重听人士设计的，但也可以用来向任何观众提供他们选择的语言的外语字幕。用户将使用我们的免费应用程序选择他们的座位位置和语言偏好，然后他们将看到他们选择的字幕显示在屏幕上方或下方。其他影院用户将完全不知道该系统正在使用中，因此可以正常观看放映而不受干扰。不需要观看辅助设备，也不需要使用头部/眼睛跟踪（所有座位位置都在安装时预先校准）。该技术不需要用户调整焦距，因此消除了使用需要连续调焦的设备所带来的眼睛疲劳问题。没有单独的部件或共享设备，因此这消除了与基于小工具的系统相关的损坏，盗窃和细菌的风险。最终，我们的目标是让英国的每家影院至少在一个屏幕上提供SDC，极大地改善聋人和重听电影观众的无障碍程度。
