CasparCG was developed by the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation (“SVT”), which is the license-fee funded

production system for direct use in production.
CasparCG supports all standards and plays all common formats. It can play simultaneous layers of dynamic
graphics, videos and images in real-time for all broadcast, show, event and signage needs. Wide codec
