Datavideo CG-100 Character Generator Software with Cables, for Windows.

• Based on a Decklink card in a PC, the Datavideo CG-100 software is an affordable CG with exquisite SDI quality. Connects to the SDI Overlay/Graphics input on the SE-800 or any video switcher that accepts SDI keyed graphics input.

With this CG software you compose pages before they are used. For example, "lower thirds" or titles. And you can compose files "off line".

The CG-100 can hold many pages, limited only by the computer's processor speed and RAM speed and size. If you have 150-200 pages you will need a faster computer with more storage than if you have 50 pages. Text positioning may be done by mouse/eye or by X/Y pixel designation.

Image objects may be imported as graphics and stored as part of the page. Simple shapes (ellipses and rectangles) are menu items and may be added to the page. Animation objects can Wipe, Push and Fade Text can roll and crawl. Fonts are TrueType and available from Adobe.

The CG-100 will work with any switcher that accepts the SDI video and key signal coming from the Decklink Card. The CG-100 software requires use of the drivers included with the software.
