You Mix
YouMix
Advanced Broadcast Composer
YouMix is the ideal companion for any Production Video Mixer, allowing to add different and innovative features.
YouMix generates a complete video signal with multiple picture-in-picture (DVE) and multiple layers of complex graphics.
YouMix add contributions to your live programs with video calls (Skype®, Meet®, Zoom®, etc.), grabbing your desktop with a broadcast quality tool which allows to enrich the calls with CG and DVE effects, delivering the video via SDI/NDI/IP outputs.
Capture the NDI Skype® streams, compose and put on air in few clicks
Traditional video mixers do not allow to play files, decode IP streams, or generate complex graphics: with YouMix you can fulfil complex effects with a broadcast look without extra equipment and with no limit of DVE channels for PIP.
Each PIP window can display any SDI or NDI source, any IP stream or desktop video capture with smooth zoom in and out.
In each DVE or background user can add:
Live sources coming from a capture card
IP streams coming from LAN/Internet
Desktop grabs (defining the captured area)
Video files in loop
Overlay graphics on background and PIPs
NDI inputs and outputs
Main Features
- Grab desktop and incoming video calls from any PC or mobile device
- Grab any NDI stream, like Skype®
- Broadcast quality composite/SDI/NDI/IP output
- CG titling with animated backgrounds, crawls, rolls, lowerthirds and logos

CG Live
Amazing Graphics
CG Live is a software based solution for real time character generation. CG Live features animated backgrounds, movements and effects on text, images, clocks, animated logos, dates, crawl and news tickers. CG Live works via both SDI video boards and via NDI.
The solution is ideal to display graphical contents, such as text, logos and animations, crawls, tickers and rolls with dynamic contents/metadata retrieved from external data sources, like RSS, txt, Microsoft Excel files and more. Top broadcast quality and easy of use allow CG Live to be used for News Graphic, live production in talk shows, sports and entertainment.
CG Live is very simple to use and does not need any specific training. Page compositing is also very user friendly and allows to add multiple object like texts, clocks, crawls, rolls and media (audio, bitmaps, video and animations) e and define their specific aspect in detail.
Broadcast quality
CG Live delivers top quality antialiased text, smooth interlaced crawls, tickers and rolls over SDI or NDI output. All layers are managed in 32 bits allowing precise alpha channel and transparency compositing. Text and media can be updated on the fly allowing to perform in live production environments.
Excel as an App
CG Live imports data automatically from TXT, CSV, RSS feeds and especially Excel files, so whenever data is updated, it goes straight on air. CG Live respects fonts, colors and alignment specified in the Excel files selecting from which sheet and cells to acquire the data. Hidden or unprintable cells will not air, very handy fro comments and remarks to the user inputting the data. CG Live also respects the formulas and database connections specified in the Excel files, allowing to create custom applications with macros and VBA scripting.
Social media
CG Live integrates with Social Hub (optional), which allows retrieving text, images and video clips from your favourite social media sources, such as whatsapp, facebook, instagram, skype, email, sms, openweathermap, line and rss feeds. User can select and edit messages before airing or create them from scratch. If your favourite social media is not among the supported plugins, a special Google Chrome plugin allows capturing text and images directly from the browser window and send them on air. Social Hub is a great add-on for any live program to add dynamic graphical content to the production and engage more efficiently with the audience.
Best of Both World
Included in the CG Live package is also the DLG Plus software, which share the same multimedia engine, allowing interchange of templates and projects. DLG Plus features an easy to use videomixer-like user interface so it can be used both in master control as in production environments. According to the type of interactivity which is needed for a specific production, you can choose which application to deploy.

DLG Plus
Turnkey unit CG
Modern TV channels require an increasingly sophisticated graphic characterization and, at the same time, easily managed. DLG Plus is born to satisfy such need by means of an intuitive GUI and a powerful graphic engine.
Best of Breed
DLG PLUS is the most cost-effective Logo Inserter and Character Generator product on the market. The solution is ideal to display graphical contents, such as text, logos and animations, crawls, tickers and rolls with dynamic contents/metadata retrieved from external data sources, like RSS, txt, Microsoft Excel files and more. Top broadcast quality and easy of use allow DLG Plus to be used also 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 same elements and adding just new ones. This smart solution allows infinite layers of graphic.
Top results, effortlessly
