Building blocks
FFMpeg
FFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework, able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play pretty much anything that humans and machines have created. It supports the most obscure ancient formats up to the cutting edge.
It is a swiss army knife for the most production and broadcasting facilities. Hidden or admitted, FFMpeg is everywhere.
We maintain our own fork of FFMpeg as well as its build script for easy deployment. Our internal knowledge base contains profiles for transcoding to many broadcast formats including XDCAM HD or AVC Intra.
Caspar CG
CasparCG Server is a Windows and Linux software used to play out professional graphics, audio and video to multiple outputs as a layerbased real-time compositor. It has been in 24/7 broadcast production since 2006.
We keep track of differences between several forks of CasparCG, so we are able to decide, which one suits your work best.
