The inclusion of 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) in the 3GPP Release 17 specification is good news for end users, IoT device manufacturers and mobile carriers RedCap enables a new realm of 5G IoT devices and related application and service opportunities that can be expected in the next few years

5G use cases are typically categorized under LPWA/massive Machine-typeCommunications (mMTC), enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) and Ultra-reliable, Low-latency Communications (URLLC). Each of these has features to enable the delivery of services, such as extreme coverage (LPWA/mMTC), high data rates (eMBB) or low latency with high reliability (URLLC) The 3GPP specifications define the

In celebration of the centennial NAB show, Link Electronics proudly unveils the newest addition to its automated captioning product line, the ACE Series/ENC The ACE Series/ENC is the latest innovation in automated captioning It combines the ACE, automated captioning engine, with a built-in caption encoder to streamline your workflow and make it easier to distribute your content faster than ever before

This system is designed to be a complete captioning solution, all contained within one unit The ENC caption encoder is compatible with all live caption ACE systems, from one channel of live audio up to four simultaneous feeds The ENC caption encoder accepts HD/SD SDI inputs and will output two encoded SDI video streams with the option of one output being decoded for monitoring The ENC caption encoder is controlled through user-friendly software on the ACE systems.

The ACE Series Automated Captioning Engines use the latest in ASR technology to convert speech into text and caption data for up to four channels of audio simultaneously Using a cutting-edge neural network linguistics algorithm, the ACE Series converts speech to text and sends out fully compliant captioning data through traditional broadcast or OTT streaming
