A telop is a television opaque projecting device used to broadcast images directly without the use of a camera. In Japan, the term "telop" (テロップ) is widely used to indicate text superimposed on the screen, such as captions, subtitles, or scrolling tickers. The name is derived from "Television Opaque Projector."
