Team Rosters has been planned from the beginning as a key feature of SuiteCG MultiSport Scoreboard, and we’re excited to get it out the door in time for fall sports. Player selection is a breeze. With three clicks (and in about that many seconds) from the user interface you can have a player’s headshots and bio up on the screen. Click to open the roster, click to select the player from large buttons with the players name, uniform, position, a headshot, and then a click in Graphics Control to animate the headshot element.

The new user interface for American Football streamlines the user experience with improved controls, easier corrective actions for those “oops” moments.

In addition to this new release, we’ve also added new tutorial videos to the Knowledge Base, including:

  • Sessions and Templates: Team Details and Match Details which provides a detailed walk-through of creating Team Profiles and adding players to the roster
  • User Interface: American Football which gives an in-depth review of the new American Football UI, including player selections, counter and toggle images, and context values for integrating SuiteCG with third party CGs.
  • Connecting SuiteCG to Hardware Switchers via HDMI answers common questions related to integrating SuiteCG with hardware switcher that do not support NDI natively. Using Newtek’s NDI Studio Monitor and an HDMI cable, set up a computer or laptop in extended display and perform a luma or chroma key on the incoming video feed.

Player headshots are currently supported only in American Football and Baseball/Softball. Other sports will see added capabilities soon.
