Ad agenda item - overview of FCC status/situation

<Judy> http://www.fcc.gov/cib/dro/VPAAC/

Judy: VPAAC - Video Programming Accessibility Action Commitee

recommend to look at the Mission Statement (Word Doc: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-303943A1.doc)

meetings and actions with tight time-lines around video accessibility - captioning and descriptive audio

some awareness of work that is happening at W3C

Janina: interested to understand what this applies to, penalties, etc.

Geoff: there will also be rules about amount of video description as well as requirements for emergency information

they are also looking at getting television shows already captioned for on-air broadcast, must also move to the web

this now involves SMPTE

and SMPTE TT will likey emerge as a recommendation from the committee

Janina: unless we find accessibility issues with this

this will potentially inovolve massive amounts of programming (TV shows)

including older content as well as future content

+q

<silvia> +q

Judy: can we get differences between SMPTE TT (which is a derivitive of TTML)

adds the ability to add background images, as well as binary data

also some additional metadata content

JF: are broadcasters aware of the browser vendors will or wont support?

Sean: we can already support, doesn't require native support for this to work. will likely wait to see how the market plays out

Silvia: SMPTE TT is a new format, how much content is currently available

Geoff: there is not yet a lot of implementation, but there is one major support - UltraViolet - which is a DRM-like solution to view content from the cloud

since SMPTE TT is based on TTML, there is potential for growth

Eric: is SMPTE a full profile subset of TTML?

Sean: yes

Judy: with this superset nature of SMPTE TT to what extent are the added features - things that align with accessibility user requirements that we've uncovered?

Sean: the addition of images was from a request from asian territories

they would rather not use actual fonts, and rather have images as more 'hand-drawn' character-sets

the binary data is mostly for commercial requirements, for set-top boxes, etc.

not really for user-benefit, but rather operator-benefit

Janina: one of the other things coming from the FCC work is requirements for devices being sold in the US market, there will be more of these types of devices, and more regs to follow

<kenny_j> Need to drop off the call for another meeting. bye all.

Synopsis of questions re: time Tracks

Silvia: the track element allows us to associate external caption files, sub-title files and other text files to videos

Judy: is there a mechanism that can discover those assets

+q

ERic: the track element is for things that have timing with them

so if the description has timing info thta needs to be displayed in sync with the video, then it is appropriate to use track element

Sean: we've identified that there is no mechanism for labeling a transcript as such - there is no semantic link-up at this time

<gfreed> geoff needs to go-- will read the minutes later this evening.

Judy: a case can be made that access to a transcript would serve certain user needs for a11y

+q

Janina: we've identified that if there is timing data, that it should be linked to the video, but even if a transcript has no timing it may need to be programmatically associated to the video none-the-less

Judy: the order of presentation /positioning

that has been a problem in the past

if we are trying to support multple media formats - foolproof discoverablility and sharability

discussion about discoverability versus mechanisms for delivery

ERic: discussion is not that there is disagreement on this, but how we deliver it - in sync (with time)

it makes no sense to try and repurpose track and source for non-time-aligned content

how does the content author package it

Judy: so do we need another element?

<silvia> s-

given that we are under a very tight timeline at this point?

eric: don't think we need a different/new element

echos silvia's observation thta at transcript would be avialable for all users

+Q

<Judy> eric: you could just do the association with an attribute

<Judy> jf: that would take us down the same path as with longdesc

<Judy> ...we need to be able to package the transcript in some way that makes it available to users, not just visible on screen

<silvia> http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Multitrack_Media_API

Janina: bottom line is that we do not have a means of associating a transcript to a the video resource

whether an element or an attribute

silvia are you on mute?

<janina> Silvia, we don't hear you

<Sean> try redialling. not hearing you

Judy: we should record everything we can in terms of what is still open

Silvia: we should have an email discussion on transcript

(JF will check for that bug and post to the list)

eric: when the durations are not the same - it's not an issue when they are not the same, but rather when the internal timing information are not the same

when segments of one don't exactly overlap segments of the other

there is no way of describing those associations

Silvia: on the multi-track API

summarize from discussions and an email thread from last fall - will summarize into a wiki page for further discussion

we re-start a new mail thread

Janina, another isue is if the user wants to control the secondary content - change font size, colors, adjust audio levels, etc.

Janina: on one hand, this is very specific to Operating Systems

but what we should be discussing is a systematic way for authors to create content, and signify this to the browser
