Abstract
There is provided a captioned still picture contents producing technique capable of opening caption broadcasting contents being a closed caption and synthesizing it with a still picture obtained from a TV video to automatically produce new captioned still picture contents. In a captioned still picture contents producing system, a captioned video signal generating apparatus generates a captioned video signal, and a still picture contents producing apparatus produces captioned still picture contents from the captioned video signal. The captioned video signal generating apparatus receives the original video signal and caption signal, and generates a control signal based on whether or not the caption is a real time caption. Then, the captioned video signal generating apparatus synthesizes the caption signal and the video signal and inserts the control signal to a predetermined position to generate a captioned video signal. On the contrary, the still picture contents producing apparatus extracts the caption signal and the control signal from the captioned video signal, and captures the image in the video signal based on the control signal to generate a still picture. At the same time, the still picture contents producing apparatus generates the caption video from the caption signal. Then, the still picture contents producing apparatus synthesizes the still picture and the caption image to produce the captioned still picture contents.
