Theme instances allow you to create multiple output configurations from a single game plan. For example, you can create a full-graphics media stream with all overlays and a scoreboard-only stream for radar/IMG distribution. Each instance shares the same match data but displays different graphic configurations.

​

You'll use theme instances when broadcasting to multiple destinations that require different graphic setups — such as a primary media screen with full graphics and a secondary feed for distribution partners who need only the scoreboard overlay.

​

Theme Instance: A separate configuration of the same game plan that outputs to different destinations. Each instance can have its own graphics settings while sharing the same match data.

​

Full-Graphics Instance: A theme instance that includes all graphics: scoreboard, lower-thirds, player stats, animations, and advertisements.

​

Scoreboard-Only Instance: A theme instance that displays only the scoreboard overlay, creating a clean output with essential match information.

​

1. Navigate to your game plan in the Automation section

​

2. Create the first theme instance for your primary media stream

​

3. Configure this instance to include all graphics: scoreboard, lower-thirds, player stats, animations, and advertisements

​

4. Set this instance as your primary output for media broadcasts

​

1. Create a second theme instance in your game plan

​

2. Remove all graphics except the scoreboard

​

3. Configure the scoreboard-specific control variables for this instance:

​

* Stoppage time display

​

* Card indicators

​

* Substitution counters

​

* Period/half indicators

​

4. Set this instance as your output for radar/IMG distribution or partner feeds

​

Theme instances share the same match data. Changes to score, time, or events update across all instances simultaneously.

​

This means when a goal is scored or a card is issued, both your full-graphics instance and scoreboard-only instance reflect the update in real-time, even though they display different graphic configurations.

​

1. Preview both theme instances to verify they display correctly

​

2. Confirm the full-graphics instance shows all overlays as expected

​

3. Verify the scoreboard-only instance shows a clean feed with only the scoreboard

​

4. Check that match data updates appear correctly in both instances

​

You can create more than two instances. For example, you could create a third instance for social media with a different graphic style, each instance configured for its specific output destination while all sharing the same match data.
