Just wanted to inform everyone that EBU will host an open and free webinar presenting the work of a group that have been working on getting a standard for HTML graphics in broadcast. The aim of the group is to generate a standard for HTML-graphics used in broadcast, both realtime and non-realtime. The graphics should be interchangeable and editable in all system through all the steps in the process of production.
EBU has generate a homepage for this project where you can find a lot of info and links
ograf.ebu.io
The webinar to present our work this far will be held on 28th of April and it is open to everyone interested.
Hope you find this interesting and have the time to participate.

The guys from Superfly.tv are already contributing to this project, so that our view as Caspar users are prominently represented. (I already registered myself for the webinar).

To add some more info about the project status, we’re currently at a stage where we’ve published a first draft of the specification and we’re currently gathering feedback from the industry. Our next goal is to have a finalized “version 1” published in time for IBC.
I invite everyone to take the opportunity to try out the OGraf graphics at this early stage (while it is still possible to make changes to the specification) and share your thoughts and questions!
On the OGraf project home page, you’ll find links to DevTools, examples and a simple rendering system.
Oh, also FYI: I plan to add OGraf rendering support to CasparCG eventually, probably by adding a side-car application (possibly joining with the current media-scanner application?) that exposes an API for gfx upload and control.
