Output format validation
To make sure that Scoreboard OCR uses time delimiters and does not output invalid match time, we have introduced format validation
| Validation format | Example output | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| Custom | Number | There is no validation, this is the default format. Use this for team score, fouls, etc |
| Time (mm:ss) | 5:13 | When capturing match time or penalty time, that never goes into 1/10 of a second |
| Time (mm:ss, ss.d) | 12:45, 45.9 | When capturing match time, that might display 1/10 of a second during the last minute of the match (usually basketball) |
| Time (hh:mm:ss.d) | 12:05:13.4 | When capturing athletics or swimming clock |
| Shot clock (ss) | 19 | When capturing shot clock that does not go into 1/10 a second for basketball |
| Shot clock (ss, s.d) | 4.9 | When capturing shot clock that goes into 1/10 a second for basketball (6 → 5 → 4.9 → 4.8) |
| Period (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, OT) | 2nd | When capturing the period number for basketball |
| Period Custom (1st…9th) | 5th | When capturing the period number for other sports |
| Symbols | Number | Recognize timeouts, fouls, serve directions, etc |
| Script | Any value | Create customized output |
Shot clock (ss, s.d) examples
| Sports | Clock movement | Max seconds | Min full seconds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basetball | 24 → 6 → 5 → 4.9 | 24 | 5 |
| NCAA basetball | 30 → 6 → 5 → 4.9 | 30 | 5 |
| Waterpolo | 24 → 11 → 10 → 9.9 | 24 | 10 |
| Roller hockey | 45 → 6 → 5 → 4.9 | 45 | 5 |
Additional features
- Ignore Empty values - deals with a situation when someone/something covers the scoreboard during the match or scoreboard is powered off right after the match (very useful for match time and score)
