Hi, I have tried and the “CAM1” text appeared on the screen, but when I do the broadcast to youtube via “ADD 1 STREAM …” command ,the text ‘CAM1’ also appeared
Thanks for your info.
I’m new to this business. So let’s do the planning first (sorry about that)
So I need to setup few channels (eg: Channel 1 is preview, Channel 2 is LIVE, Channel 3~10 for USB Camera, facebook/youtube channel monitor, a html clock…etc)
So first thing I need , is to setup few “Channels”, that is, I need to setup few “Consumer Screen”, is that correct?
Hi, it looks like you are mixing channels with layers. Channel can contain multiple layers. But the channels are what you are outputing or streaming. You play your sources in a specified layer of a specified channel.
No, you don’t setup new channel by starting a new consumer screen. You need to edit config file, and create proper channel there. To create it you can just copy the channel you already have and put it just under it. After you start CasparCG with this config, you can work with channel you want by specifiing it in command. With e.g. “PLAY X-Y source”, the X represents channel number
I can also try to explain the difference between “channel” and “layer”. Do you know a software like Photoshop? It can have a lot of layers inside a single Photoshop file. The layers stack above each other and there were they are transparent, one can see the layers underneath it. So think of a “layer” a layer in Photoshop and “channel” is the whole Photshop file. Same as you can open up multiple Photoshop files in individual windows you can open multiple channels in Caspar.
