Spanish term or phrase: super (in this context)

I'm translating a video script and in the description of what is seen on screen it says:

Tomas de la frontera.
Super: 400 millones de cruces al año.
Tomas de gente. Imagen nocturna de la frontera.
Super: 90 millones de personas.
Tomas de universidades, estudiantes, centros
de investigación, innovación, industria y un set
de cine, industria petrolera y minas a cielo abierto.
Tomas de manufactura en fábricas , industrias, empresas
Super: Tercera economía del mundo

THere is a KudoZ entry for English to Spanish that describes what this (a label at the top of the screen), so I'm not sure if it needs to be translated (I'm translating from Spanish into English). Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I used "Caption at top of screen" but I think that "superimposed" might also be the right answer. Thanks to everyone for helping me out!

superimposed

Explanation:
Just a suggestion in fact. But it looks like text superimposed on an image during the voiceover. Am I seeing things?
