List of clients for controlling CasparCG - CasparCG/help GitHub Wiki
In order to use CasparCG Server, you will need a client to control it.
CasparCG Server can be controlled by the ACMP protocol, which is a simple text-based TCP protocol. See the AMCP protocol for further description.
So the simplest client software for CasparCG Server is a TCP connection with telnet or putty or any other TCP console software.
But using a command based client is complicated and not user friendly, so there a some good client programs out there.
This Wiki page was converted from the CasparCG Forum. Mention of these projects here does not mean that these are endorsed or recommended by the CasparCG Project or SVT
The official CasparCG Client is made by SVT and can be found on the offical download site: http://www.casparcg.com/download
In general, it is developed close to the server and is capable as a good general propose client. If you are new to CasparCG, use this client to get an idea of the program.
This Client by vimlesh1975 is a community made client and free to use. This is also known as casparmediaplayback CMP. It can be found on forum here.
