What options are available to HOYTS guests who are Hard of Hearing?
HOYTS provides open and closed captioning facilities at all HOYTS locations. Captioning is the text version of speech and other sound that occurs within a film.
The CaptiView Closed Caption Viewing System for deaf or hard of hearing movie audiences 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 guest, allowing them to read & watch the screen at the same time
Look for the Closed Caption (CC) icon next to the session time of the selected movie.
Open Captioning provides a text version of speech and other sound on the big screen, generally at the bottom of the screen. No technology is required to take advantage of open captioning.
Look for the Open Caption (OPENCAP) icon next to the session time of the selected movie.
