Frequently asked questions
What is sports broadcast graphics software?
It's the software that puts the scoreboard, clock, lower thirds and tickers on top of your live video. Bitfrost FX runs in the browser and feeds those graphics into OBS or vMix.
Does it work with OBS and vMix?
Yes — add the overlay URL as a Browser Source in OBS or as a Web Browser input in vMix. No plugin or install needed.
Which sports are supported?
Hockey, football/soccer, basketball, handball, floorball, volleyball and esports ship as templates. You can also build custom scenes for any sport.
Can the scoreboard update from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Link any scene field to a Google Sheets cell and the on-air graphic updates automatically when the cell changes.
How do I add Bitfrost FX as a Browser Source in OBS?
In OBS, click + under Sources → Browser, paste the overlay URL, set width 1920 and height 1080, and leave 'Shutdown source when not visible' unticked so animations stay primed. The background is already transparent, so the overlay sits cleanly on top of your camera or game capture.
How do I add it as a Web Browser input in vMix?
In vMix, Add Input → Web Browser, paste the overlay URL, set 1920x1080 and enable 'Transparent Background'. Route the input through an Overlay channel (Overlay 1–4) so it composites on top of program — updates from the control panel push live without reloading.
Browser Source vs. Web Browser input — what's the difference?
Both render the same transparent web overlay. OBS treats the Browser Source as a regular source you composite inside a scene; vMix uses the Web Browser as an input you usually run through an overlay channel. Bitfrost FX behaves identically in both — the only difference is where you place it in your switcher.
How do I connect live data to my graphics?
Three options: bind any scene field to a Google Sheets cell for polling-based updates, use the built-in laget.se and Everysport connectors for live hockey/football/floorball feeds, or push updates over the HTTP control API from your own scoring software or a Stream Deck macro.
Can two operators control the same broadcast?
Yes. Invite teammates to your workspace and everyone sees the same scenes in real time. One person can run the scoreboard while another cues lower thirds and replays — the on-air overlay stays in sync.
Does the overlay add delay to my stream?
No measurable delay. OBS and vMix render the overlay locally as a normal browser layer, so it costs the same per-frame compositing as any other source. Control commands push over a websocket, typically reaching the graphic in under 100 ms.
