Re: [Avid-L2] Delivery to PBS from Avid with embedded captions

I've done file delivery to PBS with embedded captions. I deliver to them as MXF with XDCAM50. I haven't had a problem with captions. Have you tried bringing the MXF file back into your system to see if the captions behave as expected?  JB

In the past (several years ago) we were delivering MXF Op1a DNx 145 files to PBS with embedded captions.  Then something happened somewhere and the files we were sending to PBS were not working for them.  It had to do with PBS's containerization needs.  It seemed like the Clear Screen commands were not working any more in the files we were making, even though it seemed correct on our end. PBS tech was also at a loss.  So we went to sending .scc files.

We would like to go back to the embedded methodology if possible.

I am writing to see if anybody on the list is currently successfully delivering to PBS in the manner I have described.

Cheers,
Jef
