Alpha Preview of CasparCG Client 2.0

Jonas Hummelstrand — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 17:46:02 +0000

We’ve just begun testing the completely rewritten CasparCG Client. Here’s just a few of the exciting features:

Macros for automatic execution of multiple commands with a single click.
Create macros using simple drag and drop tree-view GUI.
The client can be configured to listen to P-Bus commands sent over a RS-422 serial connection, which allows vision mixers (switchers) to control and play all commands of CasparCG.
Works on XP, Vista and Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit.)
No installer needed.
All configuration is done in XML file instead of in the Registry.

We’ll post the source code to the SourceForge.net SVN code repository once we reach the beta phase!
