Catchword: rear-window captioning

Filed Under: English, Entertainment, Media, Movies

Part of Speech: n.

Quotation: There are several companies that will add text to some (not all) current run films; one is Mopix, which provides rear-window captioning. The text is displayed from a LED screen in the back of the theater, under the cinema projector; the text is reversed, and the theater provides the hearing impaired viewer with a piece of clear plastic attached to a flexible stand that fits in the cup holder of the theater seat. The LED text is reflected off the clear plastic, which the viewer reads while watching the film simultaneously.
