Using Xena With
PowerCG
The Xena boards support PowerCG, a powerful Character Generator for video titling,
animation, image viewing and editing. PowerCG is available in several versions from
Cayman Graphics.
Use of PowerCG with Xena is completely transparent. No user interface changes (menus
etc.) are altered by Xena software. By adding the AJA “PCG_HWFA.DLL” file located in
the PowerCG directory on the Xena Installation CD to the PowerCG folder, the Xena
board outputs PowerCG video and title key.
