Scoreboard graphics

The scoreboard graphic is the bar in the top corner of the stream that shows the teams, the score, the clock and the period. CheerCam draws it into the video itself, so viewers on YouTube or anywhere else see it exactly as your preview shows it.

Choosing a graphic

You can choose the graphic in two places:

• Game setup, under Scoreboard graphic, before the game starts.
• The Scoreboard pullout on the camera screen, at any time, including while you are live.

Whatever suits the sport is the default. It picks a graphic made for the sport you are playing. CheerCam remembers your choice for each sport, so a basketball game does not come up on the hockey graphic you picked last week.

The graphics

Graphic	Made for	Shows
Broadcast bar	Hockey, ringette	Teams, logos, score, clock, period, shots, shot clock, power play, timeouts and empty net
Network bar	Hockey, ringette	A taller bar with the same facts and one strip for timeouts, empty net or power play
Rink bar with shots	Hockey	The score with shots on net
Basketball bar	Basketball	Teams, logos, score, quarter, clock, shot clock, team fouls and bonus, and timeouts left
Classic bar	Any sport	A simple angled bar with teams, score and clock

The list shows every graphic, with the ones made for your sport first. You can use any graphic with any sport. If a graphic has a spot for something your sport does not track, such as a shot clock in hockey, that spot is left out.

Team colours and logos

Each team’s colour and logo come from the team you set up on the Teams tab. A team with a logo shows it beside its score. A team without one shows its short name on its own colour. For a clean logo on the stream, use Remove background on the team’s logo, which cuts the crest out from its background. See Teams and rosters.

Scoreboard colours

The rest of the graphic uses five colours that you can change to match your club. On the home screen, open Settings and then Scoreboard colours:

Colour	Used for
Accent	The colour panels
Slab	The dark strip behind the clock and period
Backing	The board behind everything
Bright lettering	Names, scores and the clock
Muted lettering	Period labels and legends

Every graphic reads the same five colours, so changing graphics keeps your colours. Reset returns them to CheerCam’s own.

To make one item stand out, such as the shot clock in amber, tap Colour one control. Pick the control and then the colour it gets. Everything else keeps the main colours.

Your colours carry over to the next game.

Animations

The Broadcast bar, Network bar and Basketball bar animate when something happens. A goal or basket gets a short animation, and in hockey and ringette so do a penalty starting and a penalty ending. They play in the stream as well as on your screen. There is nothing to turn on.

What else the graphic shows

Depending on the sport and the graphic, the scoreboard also shows:

• TIMEOUT under a team during its timeout.
• POWER PLAY with the time left when a team is up a player, and the strength (such as 5 on 3) when it is up two.
• EMPTY NET under a team that has pulled its goalie (see The scoreboard).
• A REPLAY tag under the scoreboard while a replay plays (see Replay and clips).
