I’m about a month into Caspar CG, so I’m relatively new to the software.
I have a few templates made, and while I was messing around with the Caspar Client software, I noticed a remote triggering option with space for a UID. I was wondering if someone could give me a quick rundown of how this feature is to be used.
I’ve used Ross Xpression in the past, so would this be like a similar recall function that utilizes a key pad?
with the UID you give the cue its own ID
you can then trigger this with OSC if i remember it right with
control/UID/play
it’s not that wel documented yet if you want i can search a bit further for you.
I made a little translation program in the past that uses a blackmagic matrixpanel to control
the client but this can also easily be made for midi where plenty of handy panels can be found for.
I remember fighting with OSC triggers as live code was always my choice for custom made clients but alas I never found how to control an ATEM from livecode and the OSC thing I was toying with to trigger casparcg clients ATEM link was not reliable
as far as I know the controls for the client are always based on the single items or groups in a rundown, which all have the UID you gave them in the item output options. Than you can use every command for the item in the playout menu.
/control/UID/play
/pause
/stop
and so on
Im testing the OSC Controll API or what i should call it.
And the ARGS need to be an array where first argument is >0.
So i checked the Source code of the client and came to the conclusion that its not possible to send data to the client to change Template data for example name of a Lower Third.
