TL;DR: In this paper, an ultrasonic subcarrier is used to transmit digital data superimposed on the normal FM sound signal by modulation of a sub-carrier and receiving the digital data at a viewer's television receiver by picking up the ultrasonic signal from the television receiver's loudspeaker; the received digital data being demodulated and applied to the television receivers as readable alphanumeric captions.
Abstract: Captioning of television presentations is achieved by transmitting digital data superimposed on the normal FM sound signal by modulation of an ultrasonic subcarrier and receiving the digital data at a viewer's television receiver by picking up the ultrasonic signal from the television receiver's loudspeaker; the received digital data being demodulated and applied to the television receiver as readable alphanumeric captions.
