CG Plus is a software based solution for real time character generation. CG Plus features animated backgrounds, movements and effects on text, images, clocks, animated logos, dates, crawl and news tickers. CG Plus works via both SDI video boards and via NDI. The solution is ideal to display graphical contents, such as text, logos and animations, crawls, tickers and rolls with dynamic contents/metadata retrieved from external data sources, like RSS, txt, Microsoft Excel files and more. Top broadcast quality and easy of use allow CG Plus to be used for News Graphic, live production in talk shows, sports and entertainment. CG Plus is very simple to use and does not need any specific training. Page compositing is also very user friendly and allows to add multiple object like texts, clocks, crawls, rolls and media (audio, bitmaps, video and animations) e and define their specific aspect in detail.
