A colleague from Argentina has asked me what would be the English translation of "zócalo" or "videograph", which is what appears printed on your TV screen when they interview someone on a news program, it could be the person's name and title, or any other pertinent information. TIA

Caption/sub-title/Bio
Zòcalo literally means a plaza or sqaure, or a baseboard in construction, also plinth, but regarding this context it is basically a combination of biographical info and captioning sub-titled onto the screen
