Value-Priced Broadcast Quality System Ideal for Entry Level Productions

The Right Features at the Right Price
Some companies may be talking about digital television upgrades with added expense and complexity. However, if it is a standalone, analog video character generator that you want, then Compix has what you're looking for. The LCGn line of CGs from Compix meet the standard definition needs of the broadcast, cable, house of worship, government, and education communities who have found that analog video is perfect for their needs.
 
No Quality Left Behind
Just because the LCGn series is based on standard definition video does not mean they have standard levels of performance. Every LCGn comes with GenCG, an easy to learn and easy to use software application found in our more powerful systems. GenCG is a powerful design, layout, and playback software package combined into a single and simple user interface. With the included graphic creation tools, the user can set up an entire graphics presentation offline and easily take those graphics immediately to air while editing the next on-air series.

Compix LCGn Makes It Easy
Built to be easy to use and easy on your budget, the LCGn family of entry-level, standard definition analog systems are designed especially to deliver your graphic needs. The LCGn system is a ready-to-go character generator; all LCGn systems have been fully assembled, configured, and tested before they leave the Compix factory. Just insert the LCGn into your broadcast chain, begin creating your graphics, and get on air. From out of the box to on the air, nothing is faster to setup, easier to use, or more worry free to own than an LCGn from Compix.
