CasparCG Server triggering

Post by bgaudio » Sun Apr 12, 2020 4:04 am

Hello ,
I have been using SCS for a long time and know them well
NowI have challenge to sync SCS with CasparCG Server .
I have to send play command from SCS to CasparCG Server but I can't find a solution .After many tests, there is still no solution
tried with Telnet , UDP ,OSC and all that is possible .No success .
Any ideas and suggestions ?

Finally I found a solution with bitfocus companion .
with bitfocus companion .I can send a Play command to SCS and CasparCG .
I'm still looking for a solution to send command directly from SCS .

greetings

Can you give me some info on how you are connecting bitfocus companion to CasparCG, and what message(s) you send?

It seems that CasparCG requires UTF-8 encoding of the messages, whereas SCS uses ASCII encoding. I've emailed you a link to a new version of SCS that enables you to choose UTF-8 as an alternative to ASCII in Control Send cues.

Also, CasparCG requires each message to be terminated with both a carriage return and a linefeed, but in your Control Send cue for Q1 you have only selected 'add carriage return...' (which is the default in SCS).

Let me know how you get on with the new version I emailed you.
