You bring up some good questions. If you're doing sports broadcasts on a regular basis and looking to up your production value (which should allow you to generate more revenue) I'd look into a solution built for it. Unless you don't have 2 channels on your switcher to give, New Blue Titler Live 4 Sport and a PC running with a decklink or Mac using an Ultrastudio HD mini is my best go to solution.
I've tried Caspar CG and found it to be less than intuitive. YMMV.
Best,

I do a few sports broadcasts and are looking to up our production value by adding live timing & scoring statistics as an overlay. Right now, my overlay could be considered static, non-animated. I have a JSON/XML file that is constantly updated and I need to ingest that file, translate into the text of an overlay and push to ATEM.
What I'd like to prevent is having to layer scenes using key/fill to create the transparency. We've used an automated script and XSplit to do this in the past, however I'm sure there has to be better solutions out there which are made for this exact purpose.
Ideally, I'm looking for a solution to ingest the JSON/XML, it updates the text of the graphic, and then exports to a downstream keyer. Kind of how the ATEM Photoshop plugin works. It's so seamless and quick... looking for something like this.
I know that Fusion is capable of something like this, however feel it's like bringing a bazooka to a fist fight. Looking for something lightweight and intended for this purpose.
Anybody have any ideas / options?
Thanks all!
