MULTI-LINGUAL TRANSMISSION AND DELAY OF CLOSED CAPTION CONTENT THROUGH A DELIVERY SYSTEM

Disclosed is a system and method of blending multiple closed caption language streams into a single output for transmission using closed caption encoding devices. Closed caption signals are created by remote closed caption generating systems that are connected to an input device, such as a stenography keyboard or voice recognition system. The closed caption signals are generated at multiple remote closed caption generating systems and in different languages, and are then independently transmitted to a multiplexing system where they are properly identified and blended into a single output data stream. The single output data stream is then delivered to a closed caption encoding device via a connection such as an Ethernet or serial connection.
