CasparCG Server is a Windows and Linux software used to play out professional graphics, audio and video to multiple outputs as a layerbased real-time compositor. It has been in 24/7 broadcast production since 2006. And the best, it's free. Used by most broadcasters in Europe. Use QuickTime and Flash for all your broadcast, show, event and digital signage needs! Plays and composites simultaneous layers of Flash and QuickTime video in real-time, without caching! Outputs to SDI, HD-SDI, HDMI and fullscreen DVI with key/alpha and audio Plays SD, HD and even 2K in all flavors, even interlaced!

Dynamic media is played by the CasparCG Server’s, so everything that the can handle can be played. This includes Flash animations SWF and Flash video FLV as well as audio, all via the FT file (which is just a SWF that has gone through TemplateGenerator.) Since you have full control over everything in Flash, you can dynamically change texts and control individual animations, and all ActionScript execution works (unlike when you import SWFs into other tools such as ). Many existing SWFs are built on the assumption that they will be stored on a web server and embedded in a web page.

If the SWF requires any sort of interaction such as mouse clicks, it won’t be very suited for CasparCG playback. However, all features of the Flash Player (such as ActionScripted downloading of RSS feeds, for example) is fully functional when played by CasparCG. An FT file is just a Flash SWF file that has gone through automated checks and been renamed. To prepare a Flash SWF file for playback by the CasparCG Server, it normally goes through an automated process in the TemplateGenerator extension inside Adobe's Flash Professional authoring application. Typical Workflow • Create your design in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects or some similar software. • Import the.psd into Flash • Select the text fields you wish to expose to CasparCG and give them instance names (make sure not to begin with the letter 'x' since this will make CasparCG ignore this particular instance.) • Create your animations • Press the generate button in the TemplateGenerator panel (make sure that you have entered your name in the panel.) • If everything is correct, the.ft file will bee generated and you are ready to test it in CasparCG Server.

Special Properties of Flash Templates You can create labels in your main time line that can be accessed from CasparCG with the INVOKE command. If you create a label named 'outro', CasparCG will automatically go to and play this label when a STOP command is received. This is used to create outro animations. The will look for any stop() command placed after the outro label. If found, the generator will inject a removeTemplate() call on the same keyframe which will remove the template from the Template Host. If there is no stop() command after the outro label, the removeTemplate() call will be injected in the last frame of the layer that contains the outro label.

Interlacing via the Flash Producer By changing the frame rate in the Flash Document Properties inside Adobe's Flash Professional to twice the normal rate, the and a consumer will output interlaced dynamic output. Please see the tables in the Frame Rates section for examples and guidelines.

Best Practices for Flash Templates Try to avoid several instances with the same instance name since it can be hard to keep track of the project. If you create a timeline animation for a text field, convert the instance to a movie clip before you create the keyframes.
