Client software primarily used with the CasparCG Server software for audio and video playout, to control graphics and recording, but it can also be used for other tasks within television broadcast.
Hi folks,
I just tried the new RC from server version 2.4.0 and set up my server with 3 full HD outputs reacting as one canvas (5760x1080px). It's working! The only problem is that videos and images are stretched to the full width.
This would be no problem, if I could just transform them back to their original aspect ratio. But the transform-tool in the client (v2.3.0, rev. 58e2267474) doesn't work. It only works with standard video modes (720, 1080, etc.).
In the log I see that the client normally calculates the size or position values from 0-1920 (X) or 0-1080 (Y) to 0-1 for the AMCP command. I think this conversion doesn't work if the client detects a custom aspect ratio (e.g. 16:3 in my case).
The workaround with a custom command (e.g. MIXER 1-10 FILL 0.25 0 0.33 1) works. So the issue has to be within the client's transform-tool.
