ICaptionServiceDescriptor Interface
This topic applies to Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and later.
The ICaptionServiceDescriptor interface enables the client to get caption service descriptors from a Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP) table in an ATSC stream. The content advisor descriptor may be present in the event information table (EIT). For more information, refer to ATSC Standard A/65B, Program and System Information Protocol for Terrestrial Broadcast and Cable (Revision B).
In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the ICaptionServiceDescriptor interface exposes the following methods.
| Method | Description |
| GetCaptionServiceNumber | Returns the Service Number for a specified caption service. |
| GetCCType | Queries whether a caption service contains Digital Television Closed Captioning (DTVCC) or line-21 closed captioning. |
| GetEasyReader | Queries whether a caption service contains "Easy Reader" captions. |
| GetLanguageCode | Returns the language code for a specified caption service. |
| GetNumberOfServices | Returns the number of caption services. |
| GetWideAspectRatio | Queries whether a caption service is formatted for wide-screen displays. |
