Datavideo CG-350 Character Generator for SD & HD

Datavideo CG-350 Character Generator for SD & HD

The Datavideo CG-350 Character Generator for SD & HD is professionally built as a Windows-based system carefully designed for use in live- and post-production environments. It comes offering a standard set of base functionality plus a number of complementary functions that are being managed by different subsystems. Both sets of functionality will work along with a Blackmagic Design Decklink or AJA Xena cards as a downstream keyer or as key & fill sources, dependent upon the functionality of the card used.
