DMC now offers Described video! With more than 1.5 million visually impaired and blind Canadians, descriptive video is growing into a more popular and standard service through Canadian broadcast media. DVS gives the blind and visually impaired community’s an enhanced experience with visual entertainment like broadcast television and feature films. Much like how closed captioning has assisted the deaf in entertainment viewing, DVS offers an opportunity for the visually impaired and blind to visualize the program and not just hear the words.
Described Video Service (DVS) is an assistance technology located on the secondary audio track. A narrator provides vocal description of the visual action imparted by an actor's body language, unspoken acting, scene changes and other visual aspects within the natural pauses in the dialogue. The voice over narrator does not compete or “walk over” the program dialogue or sound effects, nor does it offer any subjective assumptions, rather it describes what a sighted person would see. A full mix consisting of the main program audio combined with the narrated descriptions is then accessible through most TV’s and VCR’s on the Secondary Audio Program (SAP).
