GFX-OVER Control Panel

Chapter 1

Introduction

GFX-OVER Control Panel is the app that allows you to create and manage real-time graphics for the live television and streaming broadcast of your match: player names, substitutions, results, formations, sponsors, and much more. With just a few taps, you can broadcast professional information, always consistent with your team's colors and data.

What you can do with this app

Enter match information (teams, date, location, competition)
Create animated graphics for the broadcast: player presentations, substitutions, results, lineups
Customize the graphic theme colors according to your teams
Manage a sequence of sponsor logos
Send free text messages during the live broadcast

Send graphics in real time, directly from the field

📖 How this manual is organized

Each section corresponds to a screen in the app and follows the order in which you would normally use it: first the match configuration (Start), then the creation of graphics (Graphics), and finally the management of the order of play and the account.

Every function is accompanied by a screenshot of the app, so you can recognize it immediately on your screen.

Chapter 3

Main Navigation

Once logged in, the app features a bottom navigation bar, always visible, allowing you to move between the four main sections.

Section	Name	Purpose
🚩 Start	Match Configuration	Set teams, lineups, colors, and event data. This is the first step to take before every match.
🎛️ Graphics	Broadcast Graphics	Create and send all graphics live: presentations, substitutions, results, formations, sponsors, and free text.
📋 Order of Play	Order of Play	View and manage the sequence of saved graphics for the live broadcast.
👤 Account	User Profile	Check your account data, subscription plan, log out, and access other administrative functions.

At the top of each screen, the OUTPUT box is present: it shows in real time what is being transmitted to the external OUTPUT page (web source), along with the connection status (Connected / Disconnected).

A small icon in the top right corner allows you to hide/show this box to have more space on the display.

💡 Tip

Keep an eye on the connection status at the top: if it is "Disconnected", the sent graphics might not reach the output. Verify the device's network connection before going on air.

Chapter 4

Start - Match Configuration

The Start screen is the starting point: here you prepare all the information that will then be automatically used by the graphics.

Screen

Match Configurator

The starting point for every match

In this screen, you will find four main areas, each openable via the "Edit" button:

Lineup HOME — home team formulation
Lineup AWAY — away team formulation
Match Info — general match data
Colors — graphic theme colors

💡 Why it is important

The data entered here is automatically recalled by the graphics (for example, with the "Insert Data" buttons), saving time and reducing errors during the live broadcast. Always configure this section before starting to create graphics.

4.1 Match Info

Sub-screen

Match Info

General match data

Competition — name of the competition (e.g., "Serie A", "Champions League")
Matchday — matchday or tournament phase (e.g., "10th MATCHDAY")
Date — date and time of the match
Location — event venue (e.g., stadium or arena name)
Shirt Colors — jersey colors for the Home and Away teams

When finished, press "Save" in the top right corner to save the changes.

4.2 Lineup Home and Lineup Away

Configure the lineup for each team. The fields are identical for Home and Away.

Sub-screen

Lineup HOME and Lineup AWAY

Formations, coaching staff, and team logo

TeamName — team name
Team Logo — image uploadable from your smartphone
TextA / TextA-Name — role and name (e.g., Head Coach)
TextB / TextB-Name — role and name (e.g., Assistant Coach)
TextC / TextC-Name — role and name (e.g., Manager)
Players — list of players with jersey number and name

The eye icon next to each player allows you to show or exclude them from the formation.

When proceeding with the insertion of images (e.g., "Sponsor" and "Team Logos"), the specific tool opens. It allows users to create and delete yellow folders to best organize the categories of images that will be loaded inside them.

The green folders already present are those made available by the administrator with the images necessary for Default settings.

⚠️ Important

Remember to press "Save" in the top right corner after entering or modifying formation data.

4.3 Colors — Color Configuration

Sub-screen

Color Configuration

The graphic palette used across all broadcast graphics

Primary Color — main color (backgrounds, bands)
Primary Color Text — text color on the primary color
Secondary Color — secondary color (boxes, frames)
Secondary Color Text — text color on the secondary color

Press "Save" in the top right corner to apply the new palette to all graphics.

The red "OUT" button at the top right removes the currently visible graphic from the output at any time except for the "Sponsor SlideShow" graphic, for which the "OUT" command must be sent from within the graphic itself.

Chapter 9
