General Playout Question #2

Open michaeltoohig opened 5 years ago

michaeltoohig commented 5 years ago

I have two general questions, pardon my ignorance.

  1. What is the purpose of a playout server compared to using something like this vlc scheduler? Other playout software are more feature rich such as CasparCG and well recommended but is that comparable to software like OBS-Studio or is it server a different purpose?

  2. Anyways I do want to run a pirate TV station and am also trying to setup your Nebula project but that uses CasparCG. Using CasparCG seems to be a unnecessary complexity to my simple needs and was wondering if Conti could be used with Nebula (for the scheduling and MAM).

Thank you.
