@markusnygard I see. I do apologize for not explaining the work flow (that is my fault). So what I am trying to accomplish is something that is similar to The Weather Channel’s IntelliStar units. Mine would be closer related to TWC’s WeatherScan than the actual weather channel network. I was using SPX just to try and see where the issues were (if it was the loopic template or caspar).
Here is my planned work flow:
-
Commands would be sent by a program I am making that would inject weather data into the graphics in Caspar using the element keys. The commands would also tell Caspar show the graphics with this text or play the alert tone. Stuff like that.
-
CasparCG would be used to render the HTML graphics and play any audio and then eventually (once I get through making the graphics and testing) will output the signal to a Decklink card via SDI.
-
The SDI feed would then be piped back into the computer via the SDI in on the decklink card and using ffmpeg, the feed would be converted to a video over IP feed (this is so caspar doesn’t have to do that encoding work).
The Weather Channel uses Viz on the current IntelliStar 2 machines and using software on those machines, they overlay the Viz output on top of their national feed (which is piped in via UDP from a satellite receiver).
Basically, instead of using Viz (which I would for sure not have the money for, I am using Caspar). I hope that clarifies what I am attempting to do.
