Captioning

Captioning Symbols
Below are the two captioning symbols: closed captions and open captions. Each also has a brief explanation.

Open Captions Symbol
Represents on-screen captions, also known as open captions, for in-person audiences, where everyone will see the captions projected on a movie, a screen, or LED board and cannot be turned off by an audience member.
For live CART, the CART professional can be physically located on-site or remotely. The CART provider can send captions to the main projection screen, a second screen and/or to the web for participants to view on their smartphone.
