Adding a Secondary Language Access Code

Updated

LEXI Secondary Language Access Codes provide multi-language closed captioning to a single EEG encoder (hardware or virtual). We have configured each Access Code to encode captions into separate 608/708 caption channels/services. EEG uses an S2 Access Code as an example of adding and applying a Secondary Language Access Code to an encoder through iCap Admin and LEXI Translate.

There are two ways to use S2 Access Codes:

  • Through LEXI Translate, which allows full control of language selection and caption display settings.
  • Using a human captioner who is directed on which language they will be captioning to the S2 Access Code. The captions will appear on the S2 CC3 channel, while the S1 CC1 channel will receive the captions in the primary language.

Adding an S2 Access Code

To add an S2 Access Code:

  1. Log into iCap Admin at https://accounts.eegicap.com/ with your admin user login credentials.
  2. In the left toolbar, click Access Codes.
  3. In the Name column, click the checkbox to the left of code for your encoder, and then click Edit (the pencil icon) in the top toolbar. The Edit Access Codes screen displays.
  4. From the CC Service menu, select 2. The options in this menu correspond to S-service levels. For example, 2 corresponds to an S2 level.
  5. Click Next to navigate through the remaining settings screens, and then click Finish.

Adding an S2 Access Code to LEXI Translate

  1. Navigate to https://eegcloud.tv and log with your username and password.
  2. On the EEG Cloud dashboard, click LEXI Translate.
  3. Click Create New Translation.

Uploading Words

To upload words:

  1. Enter the access code of the encoder that will receive captions.
    Note: Please note that your Access Code must be secondary language access code and must shared with the LEXI agency (ex. EEG LEXI ASR).
  2. Use iCap Admin to configure EEGASR if this was not done as part of the factory configuration.
