Select Direct Captions

精选直接字幕(SDC)是一种电影和现场剧场制作的字幕系统。该系统专为聋哑人和重听人设计，但也可以用来以他们选择的语言向任何观众提供外语字幕。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系统正在使用中，因此将能够正常观看放映而不受干扰。不需要观看辅助设备，也不使用头部/眼睛跟踪(所有座椅位置在安装时都已预先校准)。这项技术不需要用户调整焦距，因此消除了使用需要连续近距离/远距离重新对焦的小工具可能出现的眼睛疲劳问题。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，我们的目标是在英国的每一家电影院至少在其一个屏幕上提供SDC，极大地改善聋人和重听电影观众的无障碍。

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.
