UPDATE: It’s confirm it have closed caption

Did I say that I like to watch something? Yeah, I have mention about 2 years ago about the portable TV with Closed Caption (CC). I have been wonder if there is any smaller than 13″ than FCC’s law required having at least, on the size to have CC. I look up around on Amazon.com and found very few portable TV with CC. Obviously, it’s up to the any company who decide and being kind to add a cool feature in it.
That portable TV is pretty affordable. So, I decided and brought Viore 7″ Handheld LCT TV. Until, I got it in my hand. I look up and play around it. It has a built-in ATSC tuner, which is awesome, also it include the cute tiny antenna. The scanner pick most excellent signal from my location up to 30 channels. Too many crap networks, just few major that I care: FOX, NBC, ABC and CBS.
New law would be required to have Closed Caption (CC) in public such as bars and restaurants. I think that would be great. It’s not only for deaf but also for in noise rooms where full of people are talk too loud.
All bars and restaurants with TVs would be required to show closed captioning under legislation quickly working its way through a Senate committee.
But the measure hit a snag Thursday on its way out of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee.
The bill is aimed at making it easier for deaf people to watch programs in bars and restaurants. Though committee members all said they liked the bill in principle, some thought it might be overkill to subject every patron to the text running across the bottom of each screen.
Everybody suppose know that SDH stand for Subtitle for Deaf and Hard of Hearing appear on DVD which was first believe be introduce from Universal Studio. They’re no longer using Closed Caption (CC). It labels to let you know that it show the sound/effect and who is spoken. While Subtitle only mean for translate to other language to learn, not specs for Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
However, on film I recently watch called District 9. I find different thing about SDH. That DVD movie is from TriStar Picture, own by Sony Entertainment, does support SDH. But don’t let the menus or display confuse you when you saw the subtitle. For brief time, I can see it’s similar from I saw first one on Blu-Ray movie. That’s how it got me think of that. But surprise, it’s not only Blu-Ray but also on DVD.
