Introduction
The SST G1 Pro is the application software that creates subtitle data such as text, timing,and effects. Blocking, spotting, translation, subtitle placement, and special effects such as
italics, font color, positioning, ruby, and emphasis dots can all be done from a single interface.
Subtitle data is reflected on the video on the spot, which helps users create higher quality
subtitles.
The subtitle data can be sent by e-mail, as the volume of data is light. An editor can review
and revise the data on a PC as soon as the data is received. With optional features, the subtitle
data can be converted to several other kinds of data such as subtitle data for DVD (TIFF) andVideotron/Lambda formats.
This manual describes all available features of the SST G1 Pro. Actual features available
will depend upon the options purchased. Available features are listed, in boldface, in the

Version Information in the Help menu.
This manual contains a glossary defining terms. When you use online help, please click oneach term to check the definition.
