Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Datavideo TC-200, Title Creator, overlay box.

The TC-200 can be used with Datavideo’s Windows based Character

Generator software such as CG-200, CG-250, CG-350 and CG-500. The CG

Software Series and the TC-200 Title Creator form a DSK subtitle system that

allows you to create professional and eye-catching DSK subtitles using your

laptop, thereby simplifying and facilitating your video production using

mobile switchers.

The TC-200 is designed to be portable and rugged as well as quick and easy

to set up in the field. It allows producers to create professional CG overlays

with a Windows laptop instead of transporting a high end desktop PC with

PCIe cards fitted.

The TC-200 Title Creator allows you to create subtitles with your switcher in

two different ways.

1. Downstream Key

You may assign alpha signal (key source) and T-signal (fill source) to

respective outputs of the TC-200 and then connect them to any switchers

equipped with the DSK function such as Datavideo’s HS-2800 or HS-1200

switcher.

2. CG Overlay

TC-200 may be configured as a CG overlay device that accepts external SDI

video which is then combined internally with the subtitles and delivered to

the device output. CG overlay is generally used for switchers without the DSK

capability or videos created without subtitles.

This manual covers the TC-200 overlay box only, a separate manual is

provided with the supplied Character Generator software.
