Hidden Signals: Not Always Transferred
TV contains many hidden signals. One signal type that is not transferred, except on some very expensive converters, is the closed captioning signal.
Teletext signals do not need to be transferred, but the captioning data stream should be if it is technologically possible to do so.
With HDTV broadcasting, this is less of an issue, for the most part meaning only passing the captioning datastream on to the new source material. However, DVB and ATSC have significantly different captioning datastream types.

Famous quotes containing the words hidden and/or transferred:
“Look
There he is now, look:
There is no interrogation in his eyes
Or in the hands, quiet over the horse’s neck,
And the eyes watchful, waiting, perceiving indifferent.
O hidden under the dover’s wing, hidden in the turtle’s breast....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“When private men shall act with original views, the lustre will be transferred from the actions of kings to those of gentlemen.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
