![]() ![]() I'd pay extra for a special version of wirecast that was optimized for sports and I think a lot of other sports producers would too. I recently switched to Production Truck Pro software for sports streaming because it is designed specifically for live sports and has all the features I'm asking for, but it is not as good as wirecast overall. Maybe the solution is to create a Wirecast Sports version that integrates these features. I don't have the time to type these things in the fields provided by current wirecast scoreboard templates while also switching between shots. ![]() I want to be able to quickly select down and distance for football, have a graphic indicator of runners on base in baseball, indicate a powerplay in hockey. Display real-time scoreboard data from ANY scoreboard type in your production environment in real-time. Yes, Titler live has a more advanced scoreboard system, but I don't want to have to switch between the two programs while live streaming and I don't have the resources to run a separate computer for graphics. 200+ Scoreboard Types 350+ Unique Data Fields 500+ Venues Connected INTEGRATED PARTNERS Sportzcast Scorebot data is natively integrated with most major sports production, broadcast & coaches tool platforms. The viewing window is managed by the control window or by setting up keyboard shortcuts. In the streaming application you just create an overlay and capture the viewing window and you are good to go. If I were you I would keep the blackmagic gear and upgrade your computer to a retina macbook pro, you have 2 thunderbolt ports and an HDMI out, and the missing ethernet can be added with a USB3 to Ethernet gigabit adaptor as well as many other peripherals, you wont look back.I know this is not an easy thing to do, but I would love to have a better scoreboard control system. The application has one control window and one viewing window. Pixel conduit is software but will not give you any more hardware outputs, which is what you need. The single thunderbolt model macbook is getting pretty old now and you will be very impressed with how far computer tech has come if you get a current machine- ie retina with 2 thunderbolt ports. Having a different physical input and output is very useful even if they cannot work at the same time, otherwise you would be constantly re-patching to switch between in and out. The Ultrastudio 3D is a legacy device and missed this driver update. ![]() I am pretty sure the ultrastudio 4k is a full duplex device in some resolutions, there was a press release some time ago about the duplex capability, but it requires the more expensive hardware (it has 2 processors as it can do dual stream 3D). The super cheap blackmagic devices don't have a pass through, this keeps them cheap. You can however have a device that uses thunderbolt and then has a pass through. As for thunderbolt, it can be chained but not in parallel, hence the lack of hubs, there will never be one so dont hold your breath. These devices are not duplex, ie they use the same processor for input and output and hence cannot be used simultaneously. Does anyone know a workaround for this? Is all hope lost for what I'm trying to achieve? I've come to understand that blackmagic, by design, will not let me send an output signal from wirecast with my scoreboard through the output on my ultrastudio at the same time I'm using the input signal from my board. The output is blackmagic: Ultrastudio Express." "An unknown error occurred when starting the export process. I've tried starting the output option in wirecast but this is the error message I get. As it turns out, my signal is just a passthru through the blackmagic express instead of an output from wirecast. From there I want to add a scoreboard and then send the signal to my BM ultrastudio 3D (not using 3d but a single input) which is hooked up to my macbook pro for streaming and capture. I'm sending a lone signal through HD-SDI from a FOR.A switchboard to the BM express into wirecast on the macbook air. ![]() For input I have a blackmagic ultrastudio 3D thunderbolt and a blackmagic ultrastudio express thunderbolt. I'm running Wirecast Pro 5 on two machines, a macbook air with mavericks, and a macbook pro with mavericks. ![]()
