Outputting Score Overlays to Third-Party Software

Streaming overlays, which provide a rich amount of match information that automatically updates each ball, can be output from NV Play Pro Cricket Scorer/Play-Cricket Scorer Pro to third party software such as V-Mix and OBS to mix overlays with other video sources and graphics. The mixed video can then be live streamed to the internet from the third-party software.

For information on live streaming directly from NV Play Pro Cricket Scorer/Play-Cricket Scorer Pro, please see this article: https://support.nvplay.com/hc/en-gb/articles/1500005630981-Live-Streaming-Instruction-Videos

  3. Under Live Streaming Service select Enabled
  4. In the Live Stream Configuration section, set the Streaming Service to NDI with Alpha Channel
  5. Set the Stream Name [Optional]
  6. Click OK to save the settings

A prompt will appear asking if you want to enable a transparent video source. Select YES to this prompt to ensure only the NV Play Overlay is outputted. Selecting NO will include the NV Play Pro Cricket Scorer/Play-Cricket Scorer Pro video source in the stream output.

To use the overlays in third-party software, you will need to start the live stream.
