Scripted Output gives you total control of digit validation and format sent to GFX engine using scripting language. Here is what you can do:

1. Translate period text
2. Combine fields
3. Add zeros, delimiters, etc
4. Add or subtract fields
5. Output custom information (even text) based on the value of one or more fields
6. Add custom validation, so that you dont send “rubbish” values to GFX engine
7. Validate against the previous field value
8. Trigger show/hide actions on graphics engine based on a value of a field
9. Tell your GFX engine to display an image based on field value (depends on GFX engine)

1. Make sure you have the latest version installed. Update if needed
2. Add field and choose 'Script' field type
3. Select the field and click on 'Edit Script'
4. Copy/paste one of the examples below or create your own script
5. Makes sure you replace the field names in the script with your actual field names. The fields used by script have to be created for script to work.
6. Click 'Ok'
7. As the digits change, you should see the script working
8. If scripted field displays 'script error':
   1. move your mouse over the script field to see the error message
   2. check if the source fields have been created
   3. send us an email and we will help

We have provided some examples below, but feel free to send us an email and we will prepare one for your specific case.

1. add one symbol type field for each team server direction 'serve_a' and 'serve_b'
2. draw a rectangle around serve direction for each respective symbol field
3. add one Script field for each team 'serve_a.Source' and 'serve_b.Source' and use the script below for each field
4. make sure you save a the serve direction picture 'serve.png' in the folder mentioned in the script below
5. make sure you save transaprent picture 'transparent.png' in the folder mentioned in the script below
6. in vMix Title Designer add two image fields to your scorebug and name them 'serve_a' and 'serve_b'

Assumption - usually in athletics and swimming clock running is in h:mm:ss.d format, but when it stops it changes to h:mm:ss.dd format
-create two custom fields test1 and test2
-add all h:mm:ss.d digits to test1 (do not add the 1/100th of the second)

No normal camera can capture 100 frames per second, so it is impossible to display 1/100 of a second, but in many cases the time runs at rate of 1/10 and 1/100 is only displayed as a static clock, which can be easily read by Scoreboarc OCR and a standard camera. Here is how to make it happen:

1. Make sure you add field named 'test1', choose Custom type and add all digis that display m:ss:dd
2. Add Scripted field and copy/paste the script from above

if (number(field["HF"]) == number(field["VF"])) {
output = "No Advantage"
} else if (number(field["HF"]) > number(field["VF"])) {
output = "Adv. " + (field["HomeTeam"])
} else if (number(field["HF"]) < number(field["VF"])) {
output = "Adv. " + (field["HomeTeam"])
}

      output = field["score2"]  + "-" + field["score1"]

1. create two fields score1 and score2 and add respective scores
2. create new fields and choose type Script and add the script from above

output = "";

	output = output + field["test1"][field["test1"].size() - 5];

Since “O” looks like “0” (zero), we can recognize it, so you need to mark only the first letter of word “OVERTIME”.
