Jan Starzak

I am a broadcast graphics designer – I create fully animated lower thirds, score bugs, over-the-shoulder graphics for live production. In the past 16 years I have finished over 350 projects, using more than 1000 interactive, data-driven graphics, integrating information from multiple sources.

I have also published many Open-Source broadcast software tools, that are being used across Europe, also as part of channel identifications running 24 hours a day.

I have completed projects for independent webcasting and TV production companies as well as regional and national-level broadcasters.

Combining my knowledge of programming with an experience in broadcasting allows me to create uniquely user-friendly solutions. Each and every graphics package is a bespoke creation, made to fit a particular client and their production requirements.

By using standard, open-source components, I create living solutions, that do not box you into a particular vendor, and allow a long product life. CasparCG has a vibrant community of designers, operators and developers, that is more than eager to help any newcomers.

CasparCG is also the basis of user-friendly solutions Streamstar SCOREPLUS and apps by Navis Media. As an experienced CasparCG designer and programmer I create custom graphics templates and packages for these systems as well.

I don’t just set my sights on CasparCG - I also have experience with NodeCG (Open Broadcasting Software), vMix, Streamstar SCOREPLUS and Chyron Lyric graphics engines.
