CasparCG at BBC Scotland

I've just stumbled across this - CasparCG is an open source software originally developed by a Swedish TV station to render on screen graphics, and has now grown to quite an involved piece of software.

It's open source, and getting widely adopted. It's very niche, but with a big impact - millions of people see graphics rendered by it every day, but only a few dozen use it.

I've used it in my student days at the student TV station - no budget means free is pretty much the only option, and I thought it was incredible that it's just rendering any HTML to make it look so professional - here my own football client from a couple of years ago [1]. And now the BBC does that same.
