4. Update – Captions and Description for Digital Cinema, Captions for 3D

Films

The Media Access Group worked with film industry standards groups for over

the last several years to ensure captioning (open and closed) and

description are available to theaters and their patrons as the theaters

transition to digital projection of films. Several theaters that are

projecting digital film are also displaying Rear Window Captions, and more

are literally coming online each week. Digital cinema servers from Doremi,

Dolby, GDC, Qube and Sony are all compatible with Rear Window. And Rear

Window Captioning also works with 3D films.

Currently Focus Features, Summit Entertainment, Sony Pictures, Universal

Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox Films, Walt Disney Studios and Warner Bros.

Pictures all provide closed captioned digital cinema packages.

When a studio offers a closed captioned digital cinema package for the films

it releases, we will indicate such on the www.mopix.org site, and add this

line to the listing in our weekly update:

Update: Currently Warner Bros. Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox Films and

Walt Disney Studios provide both captioned and audio described digital

cinema packages for most of their releases. When a studio provides both

closed captioning and audio description in a digital cinema package, we will

indicate such on the MoPix site and in our weekly update with:
