The QuickTime output window contains:
- IP Settings area: This area reflects the TCP/IP settings for the QT Broadcaster that CaptionKeeper is connected to. **Note: Not yet implemented. See Platform Specific Issues.
- Connection Settings button: The Connection Settings button displays a dialog which allows you to set up TCP/IP parameters for the QT Broadcaster, as well as to set parameters for the text and window attributes of the QT Text track that's created on a QuickTime Player. **Note: The IP connect control on that dialog is disabled. There is currently no mechanism for live text connections to Apple's QuickTime Broadcaster application. When Apple creates that mechanism, CaptionKeeper will enable the capability.
- Listen checkbox: The Listen checkbox instructs the QT Text window to retrieve caption data from the currently selected input filter (typically the line-21 data-recovery decoder.)
- Start Filter checkbox: Note that this control is disabled. There is currently no mechanism for live text connections to Apple's QuickTime Broadcaster application. When Apple creates that mechanism, CaptionKeeper will enable the capability.
- Buffer Rollup checkbox and Lines picker: The Buffer Rollup controls allow CaptionKeeper to retain a specified number of roll-up caption lines before processing them for transmission or capture. This allows for rational display in window types that do not understand scrolling. Currently, text display in QuickTime Player does not support scrolling text.
- Capture Settings area: This area is used to enable, disable, and control the archiving of inbound captions. The output of the capture process is a **QT Text** file containing timecoded text. : The Offset function allows you to translate the system times into multimedia (zero-based) timecodes for on-demand use. The Open function allows you to open an existing timed-text file in QTtext format.: Note that you can capture captions without sending them to a server. This capability can be used to convert captioned videotapes to on-demand captioned media clips.
