Before the match starts
Go through these points well in advance of the match. The most important thing is to ensure that the scoreboard, control tablet, media, and sound are working before the game starts.
Prepare the system
- Ensure the control tablet is charged and running.
- Tarkista, että yhteysilmaisin on vihreä.
- Choose the correct species from the species selection.
- Create a match or open the required match view.
- Transfer team names, logos and other media from the USB stick.
Test before playing
- Check that the team names and logos are displayed correctly on the scoreboard.
- Test the game clock, points, and other sport-specific buttons.
- Test advertisements, videos and other display media.
- Ensure that the buzzer, sounds, and announcements are audible from the stadium's sound system.
- If you are using an HDMI source, check that the image is displayed and then return the source back to the input board after testing.
The sounds are important to test beforehand
Sound issues are often only noticed when the match starts. Test the buzzer, videos, and any announcements beforehand.
Sports-specific instructions
Select the species to be used. Species-specific guidance includes match creation, clock, scoring, and use of special functions.
