Alpha Preview of CasparCG Client 2.0
By Jonas Hummelstrand in General on August 17, 2010
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!
