DLG PLUS from Axel Technology is the most cost-effective Logo Inserter and Character Generator product on the market. This solution is ideal for displaying graphical content, such as text, logos and animations, crawls, tickers and rolls. DLG PLUS supports dynamic content or metadata retrieved from external data sources, like RSS, TXT, Microsoft Excel files and more. High quality and ease of use allow DLG PLUS to also be used for live production in talk shows, sports and entertainment.
Easy integration
AxelTech DLG Plus can receive commands from external devices for hot keys functions (MOXA boards, RS232, custom keyboards) to load and play multiple pages.
The simple Composer platform gives a wide range of possibilities to set position, transparency, static effects (blur, glow, shadow, etc.) and in & out transition effects for each object. The interactive AxelTech DLG engine allows switching from different templates with smooth transitions recognizing the same elements and adding just the new ones. This smart solution allows infinite layers of graphics.
Get results effortlessly
DLG PLUS is very simple to use and does not need any specific training. The user interface of the main playout section is displayed as a video mixer-like control with preview/program button bar and preview/ program video windows allowing users with basic video mixer knowledge to immediately get confident with the CG and graphics operability. Page compositing is also very user-friendly and allows users to add multiple objects like text, clocks, crawls, rolls and media (audio, bitmaps, video and animations) and define their specific aspects in detail.
Broadcast quality
DLG Plus delivers top quality anti-aliased text, smooth interlaced crawls, tickers and rolls over SDI or NDI output. All layers are managed with 32-bit precision allowing precise alpha channel and transparency compositing. Text and media can be updated on the fly, allowing real-time performance in live production environments.
