READ THE PRODUCT DATASHEET

An SDI overlay based Character Generators are the best, live editing, broadcast quality solution available today.

However, they are often beyond the budget of many users.

Datavideo's CG-100 changes that!

Whether you are adding text to live video or using already prepared screens (like Digital Juice or 12 Inch Design), the Datavideo CG-100 is ideal for live editing in Television stations, Churches, Schools or Corporate facilities.

The Datavideo CG-100 combined with any Blackmagic Design "Decklink Card" and used in a PC, is a broadcast quality, SDI Character Generator at an affordable price.

In addition you need a "Decklink Card" and a PC.

The Datavideo CG-100 supports NTSC and PAL video standards and works in either a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio.

CG-100 Features include:

* Pages can be composed and combined with animation effects, to run as a sequence, or displayed and edited live.

* Image objects may be imported as graphics and stored as part of the page.

* Simple shapes (bars, ellipses and rectangles) are menu items and may be added to the page.

* Animation objects can Wipe, Push and Fade in various directions at different speeds.

* Text can roll and crawl.

* Redo/Undo functions for quick testing of an additional effect.

* Live editing mode provides a great lexibility to immediately edit other CG pages offline while another CG page is online.

* Quick CG Text Editor allows navigation from page to page to modify text in a very productive way.

* Stand-alone logo display function.

* Group function makes CG combinations easy to be edited.

* Supports Windows Unicode for multi-language inputs

* SDI & YUV available

Operation:
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.

Features:
- Image objects may be imported as graphics and stored as part of the page.

FAQ



Q: When I activate the software through the SE-800's "ext key" button I am seeing a green flash on the video output, is this normal?
A: The reason the green flash occurs is because the DECKLINK card is in output mode by default and needs to be reset.

To avoid the “green flash” activate the CG-100 program before activating the EXT. CHROMA KEY button.


Q: I opened a targa sequence on my CG-100 but when I play my pages it does not show on my computer monitor, is this normal?

A: Yes, the targa animations will not play within the CG-100 interface, but will be active on the SDI output.


Q: How many crawl effects can be added to each page?

A: One crawl effect is available for each page.


Q: Can a crawl effect be placed over a targa sequence?

A: Yes, a targa sequence can be placed behind or in front of a crawl effect.

Q: I already have a Decklink Card, should I used the drivers provided with the card?

A: We recommend using the drivers that are supplied with your CG-100 installation CD, since the CG-100 needs specific drivers for each Decklink card type. Please refer to the CG-100 installation instructions for further information.
