character generator

Abbreviated as CG, in video editing a character generator is the software or hardware that produces animated text for insertion in video streams. Some character generators may also be able to generate graphics. Software character generators are often integrated into video-editing applications and are widely available in off-the shelf software packages. Hardware-based character generators are generally used in television production studios.
