Integrating an ATEM switcher with JustMacros and CasparCG

8 Comments

This video describes how I use JustMacros, CasparCG and our ATEM switcher to create a really powerful HD video playback solution at our church.

(NOTE: I’ve extended the functionality of these scripts.  Please see this post for the new scripts.  You can still download the ones here that work just like in the video if you’d like.)

Feel free to download these scripts and modify them for your environment.  All I ask in return is that you leave a comment here and let me know where you’re using it!  Also, if you make any cool updates/additions to the scripts, let us know so we can take advantage of it as well.

Ornament Border BlueI haven’t posted in a really long time so I thought I’d upload the worship background I’ve created for this week.  This is pretty similar to an early background I created that seems to be popular.  Hope you enjoy it.

As always, please feel free to download and use this background.  All I ask in return is that you leave a comment with where and how you are going to use it.

Thanks!
