TV Console¶
About¶
The TV Console is a tool that allows you to add overlays to your broadcast of a competition, it includes options to display relevant event information right over the competition like the image below, features for timetables, start lists, results, team scoring and logos along with other features such as a timer overlay can be added to your broadcast.

Using the left and right arrow keys you can display or hide the menu for the event, other key-bindings exist so this menu does not need to be opened mid-broadcast.
Settings Menu¶
There are several options you can select from such as the Show Blank Background? option. This option allows you to remove the default stadium picture to get a solid colour which you can subtract so you can display all overlay options right on top of your live feed, the solid colour can be customised with the Background Colour feature.

You can also choose an API Mode: Live for live feeds.
