CEA-608/708 Closed Captioning Standards

Description

The EIA-608 and EIA-708 standards define how closed captions are encoded in analog and digital television signals in the US. They are crucial for broadcast TV and cable, and understanding these can help when dealing with caption extraction or embedding in video files (e.g., in MPEG-2 or ATSC streams).
