@Radiotvpat1982,
You can use DataSources for that. I wanted to make something like this, when started UTC, but then DataSources appeared into vMix.

Good info guys. I did not mean to limit is just to Excel but that is just what I am used to working with in most large scale graphics providers.

I guess taking it one step out, would you guys link directly to a master linking source like Excel or would you just tie that in to something like the UTC already available?

I'm really talking about building and sorting hundreds of graphics. Just using sports as an example if you have a 2 American football teams you have 2 teams of 100 players. If each player has just a bio and stat graphics that is already 400 potential graphics. Being able to use something like excel to data link is very important at that point.

I'm curious if any of the guys building and selling GT packages have integrated anything like this already? I'm not much of a builder myself, but would be willing to pay a premium for some graphics packages if they would be usable on a larger scale. I need something though that can allow me to quickly turn around shows. Like on back to back days or even double headers or tournaments. Pretty common scenarios I run in to for sports production.

In a nutshell I would like to be able to do a lot of the things on my personal VMIX system that we do on the very large scale college shows we run with the $100,000 systems. I dont think GT Titler is limited at all in the look or animations it provides but may be limited in how to get dynamic info in to them.

Thanks Zach. Yes, I am vary familiar with XML setup since that is what I use in Xpression graphics a lot.

I saw some of your recent things and it looks really nice.

The one thing about GT is that if I order some prebuilt graphics packages I can go in the back end to edit the look of those. Zach, are you able to edit graphics through your tool?

It normal simple things like adding a sponsor logo in the corner to go with a team logo and headshot. I may be asking too much at this point.......

At this time you cannot create your own graphics for SuiteCG. That is definitely on our road map, though. With third party options like vMix GT, LiveText, etc... we've just found it best to focus on the data management for the time being, and provide a few nice looking packages that would meet most needs for those who don't want to create their own content. I'm not opposed to the idea of custom projects, but it's fairly time consuming so I'm not sure it would be the most economical option for you when there are GT graphics that could work. In your case, you would use the pre-made GT graphics, modify the look as needed, then once imported in to vMix, link up the images and text fields to the proper SuiteCG XML elements, then use SuiteCG to manage what data you want to display in the headshot, the scorebug, or whatever. Adding a sponsor logo to, say, a headshot, could be done by piggybacking the sponsor carousel, or just a live read sponsor, into the headshot graphic.

Well thank you, nice to hear...

As I said it's only a version 1 draft, about 3 or 4 days days work including the database part, all from scratch, so obviously many things were to be improved, both graphically and functionnally.

For example, one of the constraint I had to deal with is that not all ice skating parks had a professional scoring board at that time, so they couldn't be interfaced to provide timings automatically so it had to be done as good as possible manually by the operator. Perfect sync was therefore impossible.
The other thing that is very difficult to manage with ice hockey is the powerplay/penalties. My video does not show it but I had it working both manually or semi automatically... The powerplay timers for each team could automatically trigger the fullstrength animation and graphics changes at the end of the penalty. I also add in mind to improve the scripting so that a single click is required for the powerplays.

I'm not sure what you mean by "have the rest of the graphics assigned to the corresponding logos change as well" 'cos it's not possible to have logos shown IN UTC which only handles "widgets" that you can label but changing colors and logos was 100% database driven. Here the graphical design was based on the championship design (grey and orange) and I was not trying to have graphics based on each team color but it could work this way obviously.

Anyway another company got the market. They only show score and period timer in a static way, I believe they use a soccer template (the simplest one)... No logos at all, no rosters, no cool stuff, just a crappy top left bug... ;o)
