Tapedeck for CasparCG

Tapedeck is a streamlined, web-based CasparCG client built with the simplicity of an old-school tapedeck in mind. Designed for fast-paced broadcast environments, Tapedeck prioritizes ease of use for live operators, minimizing technical overhead while offering powerful media playback control.

Key features

• Drag-and-Drop Interface: just pick a mediafile from the available files in CasparCG and drag it to a player.
• Blackmagic ATEM Integration: direct integration with Blackmagic Design ATEM video switchers allows seamless cueing and triggering within live productions. Also compatible with the BitFocus Companion hyperdeck module.
• Monitoring outputs: a visual overlay is available that superimposes over a CasparCG output for timing and status information
• Convenience functions: Tapedeck can play individual files or playlists back to back, a context menu provides a shortcut for playing just the last 10 seconds and you are free to set in- and out points manually.
• OSC Protocol allows external control from Automation Systems or other tooling

Why choose Tapedeck?

When I started to use CasparCG for video playback during live productions I was missing some functionality. With Tapedeck I hope to give operators a simple interface that will protect them from the complexity of CasparCG Server and provide a much improved workflow. Combining the power of CasparCG with an easy to understand interface, Tapedeck is a perfect fit for small OB's as well as a great tool for larger productions.
