Fahad, my current CasparCG fork release brings UDP streaming. The casparcg.config consumer entry should be as follows:

<stream>
     <path>udp://224.0.0.1:5554</path>
     <acodec>aac</acodec>
     <vcodec>libx264</vcodec>
     <narrow>false</narrow>
     <options>tune=zerolatency,preset=veryfast</options>
     <vrate>1024</vrate>
     <arate>128</arate>
</stream>

Note that arate (audio bitrate) and vrate are in kilobytes/s. It is possible to stream directly to an local IP address or to a multicast group, as above. Options and codec names comes directly from FFmpeg documentation. Protocols other than UDP were not tested, so if you want to different format stream, you can use a rewrapper (i.e. another FFmpeg instance) to do this. Optional narrow switch makes stream 4:3 format.
