This example will create a stadium LED screen with two modes. Screen size is 1008X432PX with a frame rate of 60 fps.
Match mode with a CombinedOutput that has three parts: camera, scoreboard and banner.
Into or full screen mode, where video is playing at the full screen.
Because the intro video will be shown on the main screen, it will be stretched.
So, either the video should support stretching, like abstractions (snowflakes, lights, plexus). Or be produced in the same format as a Main screen.
Preparation
ScreenController

Press add button and add ScreenController for Scoreboard, set video format to custom and 240x332 at 30 fps.

---|---|
Main |
1280x720 @60, camera and introduction videos |
Scoreboard |
240x332 @30, player picture and match information on the right side. |
Banner |
240x100 @30, ads (get event) and club logos. |
Frame rate of the scoreboard and the banner are reduced to save resources because the content is mostly static.
