Background:
I stream local high school hockey games in the Boston area and I am trying to figure out a way to get the penalty times to show up on my webcast. Currently I have a camera pointing at the scoreboard and once I crop it for the game time, I can't crop it again to get the penalty times I want to saw also. Any suggestions on how to do that?

I tried to add the same camera again and the program wouldn't let me.
I tried to add it as a video delay, which worked for one of the times, but I wasn't able to add a second video.

Only solution I was able to come up with is using x-note, but you need someone there to start and stop the time and it's not as accurate as the clock itself.

Any suggstions?

one idea:

PIP overlay full scoreboard
i->position->crop slider of scoreboard footage manually (un)removing penalty timer part.

Guess feasibility depending on layout of actual scoreboard ?

@doggy
you cannot crop a PiP overlay, only the original source, what swsslp wants is two or more different crops of the same source to be used simultaneously and I don't think that is currently possible with vMix.

Correct, Only footage can be cropped.
If that footage is displayed as PIP (as overlay) and you then recrop the footage than that recropping is reflected in the PIP (looks as if one is cropping the PIP). Not ideal but a way to do it on the fly like hiding/un-hiding the top of a scoreboard.

Right now I am using the game time and using X-Note for the penalty times. I would like to take the human error factor out of it, if possible.

Figured out the penalty clock thing.

I got a RCA Splitter and ended up using three USB grabbers to make it work.
