About the CG-100 Character Generator software
The CG-100 is a PC-based character generator that produces lower thirds, text rolls, text crawls and more. In 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 or Hebrew, 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.
NOTE: Blackmagic Design does not support the use of Decklink cards on Dell computers, due to past incompatibilities.
Available CG-100-TO-GO Configurations:
Q: Does the CG-100 work on a MAC?
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 standard Decklink™ card will only key SDI and the Decklink SP™ will only key a composite or component video signal.
Q: Can I install the CG-100 in a PC with Windows Vista™?
A: The CG-100 utilizes the Blackmagic Design Decklink card. At this time, Blackmagic Design has not released drivers for Windows Vista™. We will announce this on our CG-100 product page once Vista™ compatibility has been completed.

Q: Can the CG-100 be installed on multiple computers?
A: No, the CG-100 software only includes a single user license. If you need to install it on multiple machines it will require additional licenses.
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

. Once we receive this information, please allow one business day for us to contact you with confirmation. Calling Tech Support will not speed up the process as key resets are handled by a remote office.
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.
