Hardware

At last one PC running Windows 7 64-bit is required to setup channel. As video player acts CasparCG, so hardware requirements are identical. Because video inputs and outputs probably you'll use Blackmagic Design Decklink cards, corresponding PCIe slots will be required, plus one for ordinary VGA card (which sufficient OpenGL capabilities). These may consume many PCI lanes, so server configuration with Xeon processor is recommended.

CasparCG itself

Because it's the video player, you have to get, install and configure it. Refer to CasparCG's wiki.

MySQL

MySQL currently is the only database engine supported by this project. Get it from their site. You have to install server itself and MySql Workbench for configuration tasks.

Client application

At present stage, there are no installer or even binaries. You have to build application by yourself. But it's not too complex.

Install Visual Studio

Currently, application is developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Community. You can build it also with Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop.

Get sources

... by cloning project directory.

Acquire references

The most important reference that need to be installed manually is FFmpeg. At simplest case, you have to download latest dev and shared 64-bit binaries to common directory in project folder named ffmpeg56 from Zeraone.

Second reference is single file: MediaInfo.dll. You can download it (64-bit dll) from MediaArena and save it to TVPlay\x64 project directory.

Next important reference is SVT's CasparCG .NET client.

Build TVPlay.exe application

... and you can proceed to Configure the stuff.
