The Datavideo CG-250 is a specialized character generation software designed to turn a standard Windows notebook into a powerful broadcast titling station. It is the perfect solution for mobile production teams, house of worship live streams, and educational broadcasters who need high-quality on-screen graphics without the bulk or expense of a rack-mounted CG system.

Flexible Media and Effects Support

The CG-250 supports a vast array of industry-standard file formats, including TGA, JPG, GIF, BMP, and TIF. This allows operators to import pre-made logos and animated elements easily. Once inside the software, graphics can be enhanced with various degrees of transparency and lighting effects, ensuring that every lower-third or logo fits the aesthetic of the production perfectly.

Seamless Overlay Workflow

While the software can run independently, it is at its most powerful when paired with the Datavideo TC-200. This hardware-software combination allows a laptop to act as a professional CG source, sending graphic signals to a switcher. The CG-250 handles the rendering of text and animations, while the TC-200 manages the video overlay, resulting in a clean, broadcast-ready signal that bypasses the limitations of standard laptop video outputs.

User-Friendly Interface

Designed for fast-paced live environments, the CG-250 features an intuitive interface that simplifies the process of creating and triggering graphics. Whether you are managing a complex news ticker for a live event or simply adding speaker names during a conference, the software's layout ensures that all essential tools—from font selection to transition timing—are only a click away.
