Datavideo TC-200 & CG-200 HD/SD Character Generator Kit

The Datavideo TC-200 & CG-200 HD/SD Character Generator Kit is made combining the TC-200 Overlay Box that comes with the CG-200 CG software into an on-screen graphics and titling solution that is requiring the minimal PC processing power. With the use of a standard laptop, you are made capable to create and deliver striking on-screen graphics and titles in real-time, ideal for mobile broadcasting and live video presentations. All your laptop requires, beyond common standard specs, is an HDMI input.

The TC-200 is offering an SDI input supporting Overlay mode and two SDI outputs supporting DSK (down-stream keyer) Fill and Key signals, this allows you to forego the use of an SDI adapter installed into your computer, and in turn allowing you to use a laptop on-the-go. This kit supports vision mixers with and without a DSK. In cases without a DSK, the TC-200 Overlay Box's Title Overlay mode substitutes for the lack of it.

The TC-200 works on 7-15V of operating voltage. It supports 7.2V and 14.4V DV batteries using an optional Datavideo MB-4 Battery Adapter (required).

DSK Mode
The TC-200 and CG-200 can be used with a vision mixer equipped with a DSK (down-stream keyer). In such a setup, they can be set up as the key source or fill source. Any vision mixer with a DSK is supported, such as the Datavideo SE-2800 and SE-3000.

Overlay Mode
When no DSK is being used, the Title Overlay mode substitutes for the lack of it. Using the TC-200 Overlay Box, the HDMI output from a laptop is embedded with the SDI output from a camcorder, VTR, or vision mixer.

This tool allows you to edit color, size, transparency, board, location, and alignment.

Scrolling Function

Overlay Function

Text File Loading
The CG-200 software is capable of directly importing text files.
