CaptiView | Closed Caption Viewing System

Captiview

 

Empire Theatres is pleased to offer CaptiView, a personal in-theatre closed caption viewing device for deaf & hard of hearing movie audiences.

The CaptiView system transmits and receives encrypted closed captions on a wireless band frequency. With an 80 meter signal range, CaptiView can be used from ANY seat in the auditorium.

The CaptiView system consists of a small OLED display on a bendable support arm that fits into the cup holder. The easy-to-read screen can display three lines of text at a time and can support up to four languages.

The CaptiView system is available at select Empire Theatres locations for select films. Available locations are listed below.
