Scoreboards

When a scoreboard is opened in the Source Settings editor, it displays a preview of the
scoreboard, two drop-down menus, and two configuration tabs.
Unlike most other elements in Wirecast, changes to the Scoreboard go live instantly
without requiring a transition. Once the scoreboard is live, the preview image is exactly
as it is seen in your broadcast.
Of the two drop-down menus, the first selects the style of the scoreboard (Pipe, Shade,
Corner, Wide, etc.) and the second selects the scoreboard layout (Basic, Top, Bottom,
etc.). Some layouts change the number of fields surrounding the scoreboard, allowing
additional live information to be added.
The Data Tab
The Data tab configures the information displayed inside your scoreboard. The first two
lines of data hold the name and score of each team. Before broadcasting, you should
enter the names of each team here. While the broadcast is live, click the “+1”, “+2” and
“+3” buttons to modify the score.
There are also four information fields (Field 1 through 4). Each field controls a line of
text inside the scoreboard that can be seen using the various layout types.
Note: Because Wirecast updates the scoreboards dynamically, It is recommended
that you fill in the additional information fields while using a layout that hides them.
