The IP Closed Captioning Order, released on January 13, 2012, requires specific closed captioning capabilities on these devices used to view video programming, such as digital video recorders, smartphones, tablets, personal computers, and television set-top boxes. Certain devices that are manufactured on or after January 1, 2014 must be in compliance with these captioning rules.
