Casparcg Client Manual

I think most people in news use clients specifically tailored to their workflow & existing software and they don’t share them, because a) it’s an internal tool specifically tailored to a given production/TV station, b) they don’t have the green light to distribute that from management, because of sensitive information contained within & general management attitude. I’ve built several News CG clients for CasparCG that I can’t distribute for these exact reasons. On the other hand, if I know that I have a simple production that only needs some lower-thirds, I find that CasparCG is usually enough for simple-to-mid-level graphics. And if we’re talking “Sports CG”, I think there’s actually plenty of CasparCG clients available - most of them commercially, but I think that’s understandable considering the amount of time and experience that goes into them. Also, I have yet to find a production that does use something “off the shelf”, without any customization, anywhere. These clients are so much tied to a particular graphics package that it doesn’t make sense to share a client without the graphics package (which, generally, is proprietary). In CasparMediaPlayback (Simple Video Playout Topic) client there are few CG clients with templates.

Didikunz: And yes, I sometime develop event specific clients.

What are you looking for? Here in Argentina, all major networks use vizrt solutions for their workflow. The rest of the stations use a locally developed software that is layer based but very limited in behavior:, CharacterWorks or even pirated versions of vMix (you can see the difference right away). The workflow is very simple for those stations and the end product is subpar compared to the rest of the channels so this question arose from the fact that you can replicate this to many cases (except for the templates) and develop a single solution for all those cases.

The problem is that, for what I can see, nobody has done it. I’ve seen many sports clients out there, even I made one myself for practice. Recently I’ve been introduced to the world of broadcasting amid helping a friend of mine with some streaming events. He needed a solution for graphics overlay using ATEM switchers in Basketball events. In the meantime I used Wirecast but the result was horrible. So I started working primarily with the basketball client that I mentioned and for the rest I used Caspar’s client. More on this.

Jstarzak: On the other hand, if I know that I have a simple production that only needs some lower-thirds, I find that CasparCG is usually enough for simple-to-mid-level graphics. Back to the main topic, this friend is also a Panasonic and Blackmagic reseller. He is currently working with many small stations and studios upgrading them to HD and he always had many troubles with those Media5 guys and their solutions.

Those stations don’t really need much complex CG clients but the templates can be sometimes overwhelming for the CasparCG client (too many handmade actions and keystrokes or groups of actions), the result isn’t visually appealing from the control side and is very confusing for the average people in front of the control pc. An example of that is I made a few days ago. For that template to work, I had to put various templates into a group, and many variables into each template.

Raschet zvukoizolyacii programma. Then, other group for Invokes (F6 for positions to change) and to add the crawl F2 again: client example. That basketball client looks quite cool. It’s very similar to what the Streamstar SCOREPLUS client can do. For these sports clients I do the templates a independent of the working of the client as possible, so that I just can create a new template set, for a clients design and don’t need to change the software.

So I just send a bunch of named datafields to the template and use only the ones needed for this special design. For instance in a player lower third I send the number, first name, last name, but also both in one field and also age, weight etc.
