Flexibly assign a macro to a button, or perhaps two

one to operate when the button is pressed, and another

to be applied when you click it a second time. Give the button a color, or fill it with a still image of your choice.

The Builder applet lets you gang buttons together to give them more prominence, and you can even assign
moving video from an external

Switcher

input,

Media Player

, or output to a button (effectively turning it into

a monitor), and creating your own custom

Switcher

interface.

Hint: Each individual live production system hosts its own LivePanel instance, so Builder pages can be exported for
use on additional systems.

A.6.7

SCOREBOARD

As discussed elsewhere, DataLink can be directly
connected to a number of popular scoreboard
systems.

With the new

Scoreboard

applet included in

LivePanel, however, you can be your own
scorekeeper using the web browser in virtually any
laptop or tablet. Better yet, Exclusive Features
includes full motion

LiveGraphics

scoreboard title

pages already configured to work with the

Scoreboard

applet.

Having chosen the

Scoreboard

for your sport, and a matching scoreboard title page, the applet lets you set

the team names, supply individual team logos, and track The

Channel

menu controls just one of two related

channel settings

this one (on the local host), and another channel used by the control surface itself. These

combine to let you connect to and control alternate live production systems.

Hint: You can open the Switcher applet or a custom Builder page in another browser tab (or on another device) to
display and removed the various elements of your animated LiveGraphics scoreboard, too.
