Power CG Live

Together with a Decklink or Kona video input/output card,
will turn your P.C. into an extremely Powerful Character Generator
for Live Broadcast and Post Production.


Both Standard and High Definition versions are available.

The Power CG Live is An extremely Powerful Titling program designed especially for the Live Broadcast and Video Post Production environment. It comes with a very flexible, easy to use, Title Compose Program for creating High Quality Title Pages. Once the Title Pages have been composed, they can be displayed automatically or completely under Manual Control. A Display List can be created ahead of time to make On Air usage a simple, One Keystroke Operation, or you can randomly select the Title Pages while On Air. Even with a Display List, you still maintain the flexibility for those "Last Minute" changes. Power CG Live can also be used to display Standard Format Graphic Images as well as Text Animation Sequences. Text Animations Sequences are created by the Title Composer using the Text FX features. Title Pages, Graphic Images, and Text Animation Sequences can be freely intermixed with one another in any order. Title Pages can contain Text (of course), Background Color boxes, Geometric Shapes, full-color graphic images as Logos, and either a Background Graphic or Background Video. The text is created using TrueType typefaces and can be Sized, Kerned, Rotated, and Italicized. Each character can have up to Two Edges and Three Shadows. The character's edges and shadows can be colorized with a solid color, a vertical Color Spread, a Color Gradient (4pt, 5pt, or linear), or Textures.

The Following Input/Output Video Cards are supported by Power CG Live: AJA Kona/Xena (2K, 2Ke, 3, LH, and LHe) Black Magic Design's Decklink (Some cards only support Keying in Standard Definition)

We even have a free Fully Functional Evaluation Copy of the software for you to download.

Media Catalogs The Media Catalog (shown below) is divided into three groups based upon the type of images that the software can display. These are Titles, Text Animations, and Graphic Images. These images can be quickly added to the Display List Editor to create a Display List. Media Catalog The Title Catalog shows the pages in the current project. The Text Animation Catalog shows the Text Animations that have been created and pre-rendered with the Title Composer. The Graphic Image Catalog shows the graphic images stored in the folders that are included in the catalog.

Display List Editor Display List Editor The Display List Editor (shown at left) is used to create and edit Display Lists. You can Add, Delete, and Duplicate images here. An image can be added here by double clicking it in the Media Catalog or dragging it from the Media Catalog and dropping it into the Display List. You can also change the order of the images in this window using "drag and drop". This will change the order that the pages will be displayed. You can also randomly select the next page to display for those "last minute" changes. Preview Window The program previews an Image before it is displayed to ensure that the wrong one won't be shown. The Preview Window (shown at right) previews the next Image to be shown. Use "drag and drop" to drag the page to be previewed from either the Display List or the Media Catalog. Double clicking on an image in the Display List can also be used to select an image to be previewed. The size of this window can be controlled from the "View" Menu. Preview Window

Preview Control Buttons Preview Control Buttons The Preview Control Buttons (shown at left) are used to control the Previewed Image. It has the following buttons: Edit Title: This button will start the Title Composer and load the previewed page into it. Start Auto Sequence: This button starts Automatically Sequencing the Images in the Display List. Page Off: This button removes the Image from the Video Output. Display Previewed Page: This button displays the previewed page on the Video Output. Display Image and Preview Next: This button displays the previewed page (just like "Display Previewed Page"). It also previews the next page in the Display List.
