CLOSED CAPTION VIEWING SYSTEM AT HOYTS CINEMAS
Hoyts Cinemas introduces the CaptiView Closed Caption Viewing System for hearing impaired movie audiences.
The CaptiView system consists of a small LED display on a bendable support arm that fits into the theatre seat cup holder. The easy to read screen is equipped with a high contrast display that comes with a privacy visor so it can be positioned directly in front of the movie patron at the base of the screen image.
The CaptiView system transmits and receives encrypted closed captions on a wireless bank frequency with an 80 metre signal range. This means CaptiView can be used from any seat in the auditorium at Hoyts.
At present, we have 15 locations with this state-of-the-art technology, Hoyts Broadway NSW, Hoyts Chatswood Mandarin NSW, Hoyts Eastgardens NSW, Hoyts Erina NSW, Hoyts Mt Druitt NSW, Hoyts Penrith NSW, Hoyts Warrawong NSW, Hoyts Warringah Mall NSW, Hoyts Chadstone VIC, Hoyts Forest Hill VIC, Hoyts Melbourne Central VIC, Hoyts Belconnen ACT and Hoyts Woden ACT, Hoyts Garden City WA, Hoyts Norwood SA.

AUDIO DESCRIPTION VIEWING SYSTEM AT HOYTS CINEMAS
Hoyts Cinemas introduces the Audio Description Viewing System for vision impaired movie audiences.
Audio description (AD) refers to an additional narration track for blind and visually impaired consumers of visual media. It consists of a narrator talking through the presentation, describing what is happening on the screen during the natural pauses in the audio, and sometimes during dialogue if deemed necessary. At the accessible locations the signal is sent to a receiver which a headset worn by the user is connected.
At present, we have 7 locations with this state-of-the-art technology, Hoyts Broadway NSW, Hoyts Chatswood Mandarin NSW, Hoyts Chatswood Westfield NSW, Hoyts Warrawong NSW, Hoyts Forest Hill VIC, Hoyts Belconnen ACT and Hoyts Woden ACT.
