TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With the proliferation of smartphones and tablets, mobile and online video consumption has grown exponentially as more viewers access content via the web rather than from television sets. Advocates for the hearing impaired successfully lobbied to broaden regulations designed to improve access to television programming by including online broadcast of TV shows as content that must include closed captioning. New requirements go into effect on September 30, 2012, and Unicorn Media, the leading Internet video solutions provider, is ready to assist partners with a complete closed captioning compliance solution.
The Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act, which was first signed into law in 2010, expands closed captioning requirements to promote access to content for hearing impaired viewers.

The Unicorn Media solution enables API access and facilitates embedding closed captioning information in a standard technical format.

"By accessing a patented technology platform that allows content owners to monetize content for any screen, Unicorn Media clients can also meet new closed captioning requirements."
