CGTimer

Production clocks for CasparCG servers.
Show current time, elapsed and remaining active media time.

If you are using CGTimer share some pictures and I’ll open a gallery here on the wiki.
You may use code@jcalado.com

Features

• Set what casparCG channel to target
• Displays elapsed time
• Displays remaining time
• Split the live clock into two clocks: the regular live clock and a production time clock.
• Set production start time, and duration, and get a countdown to production start and end.
• Remaining time turns read at less than 10 seconds to clip end.
• Warns about the video being looped, via a “Loop” bug on the elapsed time panel
• When CasparCG is issued a STOP command to the ffmpeg producer, everything is reset
• 🆕 Connects with ontime for production time management.

Configuration

Client

Press alt key and the menu should popup. Go to preferences, setup the CasparCG OSC port and channel information.

Server

CGTimer expects a CasparCG server configured to output OSC data.
You can do this in you caspar.config:

  <osc>
    ...
    <predefined-clients>
      <predefined-client>
        <address>127.0.0.1</address>
        <port>6251</port>
      </predefined-client>
    </predefined-clients>
  </osc>

Replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP address of the machine running CGTimer.

🆕 ontime integration

You can show the remaining time of your active ontime event timer:

On ontime Integrations go to OSC settings. Set the OSC Output to on, set the OSC target IP to the IP of the machine running CGTimer. Set the OSC target port to the same port you’re using for the casparCG OSC port, eg: 6251.

Add an OSC Integration below, setting it to cycle Every second, address: /from-ontime/current, and arguments to {{timer.current}}

UI

The design is heavily inspired on the looks of https://github.com/dimitry-ishenko-casparcg/timer.
