CG-100 Character Generator |
.jpg){kind=small}
The CG-100 is a PC-based character generator that produces lower thirds, text rolls, text crawls and more. It can import .TGA animations, text files, still images and even display the PC's time.
Any font installed on the system can be used by our character generators, as well as languages (i.e. if using Arabic, Hebrew, etc., text appears right to left - the program itself is in English only). You can create and save as much text as your hard drive allows, and they can be recalled in sequence. Using the Live Operation Mode, the CG-100 can also be used as a live on-screen typewriter.
Decklink CG-100 Connections
NOTE: Blackmagic Design does not support the use of Decklink cards on Dell computers, due to past incompatibilities.
The CG-100 is available as software only or bundled with a compatible Blackmagic Decklink card (see below).
Pre-configured systems

A: No, the application was designed to work in a Windows environment only.
Q: Can the CG-100 be used with other switchers?
A: Yes, it can be used as a downstream keyer. The video connection type is dependent on the Decklink™ card that is used with the CG-100. For example, the SDI Decklink™ card will only key SDI and the Decklink Studio™ will only key a composite or component video signal.

Q: Can the CG-100 be installed on multiple computers?

Q: Can I re-install CG-100 on a new, different computer?
A: Yes, as long as it is removed from the previous system. The key will need to be reset by Datavideo before you can re-install and re-activate the software. This process will require a minimum of one business day. Please email your 20-digit serial number and full contact details to

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 KEY button.
Q: How do I connect my SE-800 to the CG-100 which uses the standard Decklink™ card?
