Thank you for your interest in CasparCG Server, a professional software used to play out and record professional graphics, audio and video to multiple outputs. CasparCG Server has been in 24/7 broadcast production since 2006.

The CasparCG Server works on Windows and Linux.

System Requirements

  • An Nvidia GPU is recommended, but other GPU's will likely work fine.
  • Only Intel CPU's have been tested and are known to work
Windows
  • Windows 7 and 10 are supported
