That’s how the current HDMI works with HDTV

Reference from Banjo’s World on “Equal Access: HDMI is Inaccessible” that is about HDMI that we, deaf and hard of hearing, need to have it go through to HDTV. Subtitle can be the problem with anybody with poor visual. Built-in Closed Caption from media box isn’t help that much, but useful with Sling anyway. So, the figure should help to clear up.

    You don’t need to watch closed caption for the show about Sam and Candy since they use ASL.

    Bike, please re-read from Banjo’s blog. There are many reason we should have HDMI to allow CC go through.

    ADA have nothing to do with communicate issues. It’s FCC that we should complain to.

    Alvin,

    ADA is for any kind of issue related to the employee’s disability at the work. FCC is for any kind of issue related to the communication via the television, the phone, TTY, internet and videophone. Next time, use the Google before said that.

    Lev,
    Oh well I am from Canada, I don’t know much with ADA.

    Why NAD take action with FCC? In Canada, we can’t do anything because HDMI office in America.

    I understand that you are from Canada but next time research about something you don’t know about before saying that. All NAD do is support and encourage FCC to improve better for Deaf Community. NAD is just an association for deaf in nation-wide (just like a high school club).
