CasparCG actions: playout and CG templates
Every CasparCG AMCP command you can trigger from Helmo Live, for playout and CG templates.
ReferenceIntermediateUpdated
Every CasparCG command you can trigger from Helmo Live. CasparCG connects through Helmo Middleware over the AMCP protocol (TCP port 5250), so Helmo Middleware must be running for these actions to execute. See Connecting to CasparCG for setup.
