Configuration

Client

Press alt key and the menu should popup. Go to preferences, setup the CasparCG OSC port and channel information.

Server

CGTimer expects a CasparCG server configured to output OSC data.
You can do this in you caspar.config:

  <osc>
    ...
    <predefined-clients>
      <predefined-client>
        <address>127.0.0.1</address>
        <port>6251</port>
      </predefined-client>
    </predefined-clients>
  </osc>

Replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP address of the machine running CGTimer.

🆕 ontime integration

You can show the remaining time of your active ontime event timer:

On ontime Integrations go to OSC settings. Set the OSC Output to on, set the OSC target IP to the IP of the machine running CGTimer. Set the OSC target port to the same port you're using for the casparCG OSC port, eg: 6251.

Add an OSC Integration below, setting it to cycle Every second, address: /from-ontime/current, and arguments to {{timer.current}}

UI

The design is heavily inspired on the looks of https://github.com/dimitry-ishenko-casparcg/timer.
