close-captioned


• Note: Close Captioning is a system of putting subtitles on video programming. Close-captioning is “hidden” unless decoded by a special chip in your monitor. In the "old days" we used to use special decoder boxes that attached to our TV's.  Then a law was passed that required  TV's with screens over 13 inches to have a built-in decoder chip.

CLOSE-CAPTIONED: The movement is a little bounce from left to right.

CAPTIONING:

This version looks a lot like the sign for "STORY."  But there is a subtle difference.  The wrists bend slightly and the hands angle as if applying cellophane tape to a wall.  This sign carries a meaning of "sentences on the screen" or "captioning."  I use the "CC" method above for everyday use. I reserve this sign for discussions about captioning.
