Attachments: I see a lot of interest in getting scoreboard data into Caspar Graphics. So far I do not see any attempt to take real time scoreboard data direct into Caspar. We have a universal solution to obtain the scoreboard data. It is obtained in real time and sent to Caspar via the Internet. Total latency is only the network connection. The data is offered in multiple formats. We have a C# library that delivers the data direct into your program or we can deliver it to a constantly updating XML file running on the client or server.
