• Graphic Images
• Static or animated text. The CG-300 supports TrueType typefaces and can be sized, kerned, rotated, and italicized. Each character can have up to two edge and three shadow styles. The edges and shadows can be colorized with a solid or transparent colors, color gradients, or textures.
• Background color boxes
• Geometric shapes
• Background (live) video
