1. Input: Producers read, render and play content such as videos, animations, images and audio to a frame (and/or audio) buffer, known as a layer.

2. Transform: The Mixer Module takes the layers from one or several producers and performs various video and audio transformations such as color transforms, de-interlacing, scaling, transitions, image adjustments and audio adjustments on each layer before compositing them together (and optionally re-interlace them.)

3. Output: Consumers then receive the composited frames and displays them on a specified output, for example a window on the computer monitor or an SDI card. All functionality is controlled via network commands sent with the AMCP Protocol, either by the CasparCG Client Software, or by your own custom software or a command prompt.
