NV Play Cricket for Windows can output an L-shaped scoreboard to an external monitor over HDMI. The scoreboard runs along the left and bottom edges of the frame, leaving an empty area in the top right. You can mix this output in vMix or OBS and place another video feed, such as a camera, in the empty area.
The scoreboard output is the full-screen base layer, and your second video feed sits on top of it in the empty area. No keying is required.
- NV Play Desktop App PC with a second display output (HDMI)
- vMix or OBS Studio
- HDMI capture card, if the mixer runs on a separate PC
- A second video feed, such as a camera
Output the L-Shape Scoreboard from NV Play
- Connect the external output to the NV Play PC and set it as an extended display in Windows, not a mirrored one.
- In Windows Display Settings, set the external display to 1920x1080 at 100% scaling.
- In NV Play Cricket, select the Large Scoreboard layout.
- In Replay Screen Control, select Overlay (Mixing Desk).
- Check that the L-shaped scoreboard fills the external display, with bars along the left and bottom edges.
Display scaling other than 100% will shift the scoreboard edges in the mixer.
