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 Access Code

To add an Access Code:

  1. Log into iCap Admin with your admin user login credentials.
  2. In the left toolbar, click Access Codes.
  3. In the top toolbar, click the + icon. The Create Access Code window opens.
  4. Enter a Name for New Access Code, for example New_S1_Code.
    Note: Be sure to enter this name correctly. You cannot change this name once you finalize the access code.
  5. From the CC Service menu, select a service number, for example 2, and then click Next. The options in this menu correspond to S-service numbers. For example, 2 corresponds to service number S2.
  6. In the Associated Encoders screen, select the Primary Encoder user to link this access code to. If you do not have an encoder user, contact Ai-Media Technical Sales for help.
  7. Select optional Secondary Encoders, and then click Next. The Captioner Permissions screen opens.
  8. If you are using LEXI, LEXI Translate, or LEXI Voice, select the caption provider EEG Lexi ASR. Otherwise, optionally add any captioning providers you want to share the access code with. You can select multiple providers.

  9. Click Next, then review your new access code, and then click Finish or click Back to make changes. iCap Admin returns to your list of access codes, where you can find or search for your new code.
