graphic sport pack 1 and 2

[lotus126]

Hi, I bought the sports package graphics for sporting use.
I have two important questions:

Installation of the graphics is simple? could required updates from the site to Newtek?

I use the layers where I put my face or image of the athlete, if I use photos of athletes are adapted directly to the graphics layer or do I first edit it with photoshop?

The Graphics packs install very easily and there aren't any updates for download. If you want to change the image out you should to pre-crop and size your images but you can add them to the title directly in the TriCaster just by clicking on the stand in image.

Make sure you lower the image quality or the full resolution will bog down your system, the images look great even if lowered in quality.

Are there any DVE's in these sport packs?

Nope.

Does the graphics pack have a timeclock controller and does it work with LT2?

Does the graphics pack have a timeclock controller and does it work with LT2?Good questions. Time functions, both for supported external game clocks (such as Daktronics) are a feature of DataLink, previously a standalone plugin, but now integrated into LT2. (The LT2 DataLink support also adds internal time features that its predecessor did not provide).

It would be possible to add DataLink keys to the title overlays in the graphics packs, assuming you have either LT2 or the earlier DataLink product. The latter would be usable directly in TriCaster's Text module, while the former would displayed from LT2 as an external source.

Forgive me for not understanding. I have the LT2 running on a laptop because we are still waiting on 2 850's we have orderd, and sounds like I can add an internal countdown clock. How do I achieve this?

Forgive me for not understanding. I have the LT2 running on a laptop because we are still waiting on 2 850's we have orderd, and sounds like I can add an internal countdown clock. How do I achieve this?LT2 standalone incorporates DataLink, which provides both the tools to inset time (and scoreboard) keys on title pages. These can then be displayed live across the network connection from LT2 to the TriCaster.

You can import the CG files from the graphics packs into LT2 for these modifications. (The LT2 manual details working with DataLink keys, you'll have to forgive me for not re-typing all of that information here.)

edit - p.s., I'm not sure about a countdown clock, though. I don't think you can do that based on the system clock. If you have an external gameclock system (like a Daktronics) that provides it's own countdown timer reference, you might well be able to use that. Otherwise, a little custom application might be able to provide a countdown that DataLink could read and use to update a timer inserted on a title page.
