SMIL 2.0
This technique relates to:
The objective of this technique is to provide a way for people who are deaf or otherwise have trouble hearing the dialogue in audio visual material to be able to view the material. With this technique all of the dialogue and important sounds are available in a sign-language interpretation video that is displayed in a caption area.
With SMIL 2.0, separate regions can be defined for the two videos. The two video playbacks are synchronized, with the content video displayed in one region of the screen, while the corresponding sign-language interpretation video is displayed in another region.
Example Code:
<smil xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/SMIL20/Language">
<head>
<layout>
<root-layout backgroundColor="black" height="310" width="330"/>
<region id="video" backgroundColor="black" top="5" left="5"
height="240" width="320"/>
<region id="signing" backgroundColor="black" top="250"
height="60" left="5" width="320"/>
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<par>
<video src="salesdemo.mpg" region="video" title="Sales Demo"
alt="Sales Demo"/>
<video src="salesdemo_signing.mpg"
region="signing" systemCaptions="on"
title="sign language interpretation"
alt="Sales Demo Sign Language Interpretation"/>
</par>
</body>
</smil>
The example shows a <par>
segment containing
two <video>
tags. The systemCaptions
attribute indicates that the sign language video should be displayed
when the user's player setting for captions indicates the preference
for captions to be displayed. The <layout>
section defines the regions used for the main video and the sign
language interpretation video.
