Thank you for your interest in AuraView Server, a professional software used to play out and record professional graphics, audio and video to multiple outputs.

The AuraView Server works on Linux Only

• A graphics card (GPU) capable of OpenGL 4.5 is required.
• An Nvidia GPU is recommended, but other GPU's will likely work fine.
• Intel and AMD CPU's have been tested and are known to work
• PCIE bandwidth is important between your GPU and CPU, as well as Decklink and CPU. Avoid chipset lanes when possible.

• Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 are recommended
• Other distributions and releases will work but have not been tested

1. Download a release from (http://AuraViewsystems.com/downloads). Alternatively, newer testing versions can be downloaded from (http://builds.AuraView.com) or built from source

AuraView Server was forked from CasparCG and aimed to be a firmware deployable packaged system used for automation instead of live playout.
