Annotate or caption media in Ensemble

The Ensemble media server has the ability to annotate or caption media, such as audio or video. This can be helpful in a number of ways.

• Add chapters to media, or highlight particular sections to make it easier to highlight specific time in media.
• Caption foreign language videos, to help viewers that are learning the language and need help with interpreting what is being said. Captions can be toggled on or off, in case a viewer doesn’t want to see them.
• Make videos accessible to those who are hearing-impaired.
• Focus on the lyrical content of the song.
