Editing Closed captioning (section)

=== New Zealand ===
In New Zealand, captions use an [[EBU]] [[Ceefax]]-based teletext system on [[Digital Video Broadcasting|DVB]] broadcasts via [[Satellite television|satellite]] and [[cable television]] with the exception of [[MediaWorks New Zealand]] channels who completely switched to [[DVB-T|DVB]] [[Run-length encoding|RLE]] subtitles in 2012 on both [[Freeview (UK)|Freeview]] satellite and [[UHF]] broadcasts, this decision was made based on the [[TVNZ]] practice of using this format on only [[Digital Video Broadcasting|DVB]] [[UHF]] broadcasts (aka [[Freeview (UK)|Freeview HD]]). This made [[composite video]] connected TVs incapable of decoding the captions on their own. Also, these [[Pre-rendering|pre-rendered]] subtitles use classic caption style opaque backgrounds with an overly large [[Point (typography)|font size]] and obscure the picture more than the more modern, partially transparent backgrounds.
