This month we are announcing four new features that will make your videos more accessible, better sounding and more secure.
Closed Captioning
On April 30th several important regulations go into effect that will improve the accessibility of Internet video. To help our customers make their video more accessible and comply with the new law, Zencoder is announcing support for closed captioning on Apple HLS video from an external SCC file or an embedded caption track. Contact us for more information.
Dolby Digital AudioDolby sound is coming to Zencoder! We are pleased to announce that we’ve licensed Dolby Digital Plus audio encoding technology, bringing high quality, surround sound audio to a variety of devices. MIT research shows that audio quality is extremely important in the enjoyment of media. Stay tuned for the release announcement!
