Hello everyone,
I want guidance regarding the configuration of CasparCG for a live broadcast setup; We are in the process of integrating casparcg into our live production workflow & could use some advice on a some points.
What are the recommended system specifications for running CasparCG effectively in a live broadcast environment?
Are there any best practices or tips for configuring CasparCG for optimal performance? We’re particularly interested in settings related to video output, latency reduction & handling high resolution content.
Also i have check this rescores & article https://casparcgforum.org/t/preview-during-a-live-broadcastypes-of-ms-power-apps
Lastly We Are using a combination of different tools for graphics and video management. Could anyone share their experiences or provide guidance on how to best integrate CasparCG with other software, such as NDI or real-time data sources?
Thank you in advance for your assistance & help.
That is a big question 
Much of the possible answers depend on the nature of the broadcasts you do / want to do. Are you a TV station? In what resolution and frame rate do you broadcast?
Concerning NDI: Caspar can play an NDI source as a layer and can send a channels output to NDI. In professional broadcasting we usually use SDI whenever possible, as it’s much safer.
Concerning the integration of real-time data: That is a programming job (as with most other broadcast CG’s also). That depends heavily on the data.
especially the fraze “handling high-resolution content” and “broadcast envrioment” is very vague.
The format for CasparCG-graphics are HTML which is very flexible.
Are you going to play out graphics and media?
Are you going to build your own playout-client or are you going use some commercial system:
In Finland we have for example a company that is running channel branding for 4 nationwide TV-stations using SPX as playout client and CasparCG as the renderer
For your CasparCG setup, ensure you have a high-performance CPU (Intel i7/Ryzen 7+), a robust GPU (NVIDIA RTX 2080+), 16-32GB of RAM, and SSD storage for smooth operation. Match the video output settings to your broadcast resolution and frame rate to minimize latency. For high-resolution content, confirm that your hardware can handle it efficiently. When integrating with tools like NDI or real-time data sources, keep all devices on the same network and use CasparCG’s API for synchronization.
