Simply author your closed captions (or convert a cap file from another captions source), attach the .MCC file to your Premiere Pro sequence, and output to HD Tape with true CEA-708 and CEA-608 closed captions. Then, output via your AJA Kona, Blackmagic Decklink, Matrox MXO2 series, or MOTU video device. Telestream's unique software encoding technology means no special encoding hardware is required. You can even monitor the HD closed captions inside the Premiere Pro Program Monitor.
