DE: Comments on 7.1.3 Preservation of captioning (Tab 7, Item 3, row 4)
Submitted on behalf of Digital Europe as part of #55.
7.1.3 Preservation of captioning
Where ICT transmits, converts or records video with synchronized audio, it shall preserve caption data such that it can be displayed in a manner consistent with clauses 7.1.1 and 7.1.2.
Additional presentational aspects of the text such as screen position, text colours, text style and text fonts may convey meaning, based on regional conventions. Altering these presentational aspects could change the meaning and should be avoided wherever possible.
DE Comments:
Standard function of TV. Note that where a TV has recording or transmission function, this must include captions.
