CH 02 · SERVICES
Everything a municipal broadcaster needs, under one roof.
Post-Production Captioning
Recorded programs, replays, and archive content captioned in your own facility using capitalized hardware or cloud solutions. You get to choose what works for your funding and workflow.
Master Control Systems
Design, integration, and support for the broadcast hardware that keeps your station on the air. We offer multiple options for your cable channel and live stream needs.
Audio Description
WCAG requirements include Audio Descriptions, and MC offers multiple solutions to address this, including both Standard and Extended Description options.
Custom Dictionary
Meetings often include acronyms, local place names, council-member names, and proper nouns unique to your community. Our solutions include customizable dictionaries, so you can make sure your captions are accurate.
Translation and Dubbing
If your community is multi-lingual, your civic communication can be as well. Translations of live captions as well as real-time dubbing are now available. We have multiple options and can help you compare cost, quality, and function to find what fits your budget and best serves your community.
CH 03 · HOW IT WORKS
How we work with you, from evaluation to installation.
[ 01 ]
Evaluate
We review your broadcast workflow, current hardware and airpath, and go over the legal accessibility requirements, as well as the budget you have to work with.
[ 02 ]
Compare
We present multiple options from the leading manufacturers and providers, quoted at Government Pricing and inclusive of everything that is needed.
[ 03 ]
Decide
You pick what works best for your community and broadcast operation. We don't rely on a single solution and push you toward it; we help you make the decision that meets your requirements, and you purchase when funds are ready.
[ 04 ]
Integration
We offer professional broadcast engineering to integrate the solution you purchase, but some cities have their own engineers and want to self-integrate, which we are happy to provide guidance on. Either way a fully supported solution is installed and improved accessibility is achieved.
CH 04 · COMPLIANCE
Built for the rules that actually govern your station.
ADA, WCAG, CA SB 707: accessibility acronyms can be overwhelming.
Federal and State accessibility rules aren't optional, and they're not obvious. You don't need to become an expert to address your accessibility needs in a timely fashion, but you do want expert guidance. We'll make time to talk with your team members, answer questions in plain language, and clear up some of the misunderstandings that are common in the local government space. If you've heard conflicting advice already, we can help you sort it out. We are not lawyers, but we are the leading accessibility experts in the local government space.
