If anyone has scoreboard / shot clock video footage I would love to get a copy of it (or a link to youtube). Looking for about 30 or more seconds of relatively stable footage. Example: [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/waterpoloexchange/original/2X/d/ded7918dae29be77856a241e277ebe36e64d99be.jpeg "Scoreboard Stock Footage (santiago high school)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGaFMrSbcmo) I did some live streaming this weekend and I tried to manually update a scoreboard, but I did a worse job than the typical high school kid working a desk. (Kidding, parents mess up just as much!). I am making an app that will take a video feed and use OCR to extract values such as the score, period, clock, shot clock, etc and write the values to a text file on my laptop. This can then be piped into a scoreboard on streaming software (ex OBS). I’m looking for different variations so I can test differences between pools. This will hopefully give more accuracy, but also go from this clunky setup: ![Screenshot 2026-04-17 at 12.26.43 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/waterpoloexchange/original/2X/6/6d2fe14ceb50fed730e143664e65bfae8c876b7b.jpeg) To this: ![Screenshot 2026-04-17 at 12.26.56 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/waterpoloexchange/original/2X/1/1a4520cfd1f5e72be261e6568ed3d4a5561bb308.jpeg) I mostly have it working for the santiago HS pool. ![Screenshot 2026-04-17 at 12.34.54 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/waterpoloexchange/original/2X/c/c2dfda4cc97e5ea92ab55e5f811ad1d5cb6cecdb.jpeg) Thanks! ---

Might be a nice option to have it pull/sync from camera focused on the game/shot clock remote pod that is on the corner of the pool. Self score but clocks are synced. Is this running live? What is the processing delay (1 second or so)? ---

Why not just use scorecam? [‎ScoreCam - Embedded Scoreboard App - App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scorecam-embedded-scoreboard/id862175401) You can have video and score with camera and video clock with a phone or something to overlay in bottom right. ---

> [@Polonewb](#): > > Is this running live? What is the processing delay (1 second or so)? You can set the update interval (10 second → 30 times / second). It is near real time, but it will eat up more CPU with more frequent updates. ---

And to clarify, this setup is intended to be used with a B-roll camera that is fixed at the scoreboard. ---

Why do you need OCR if you have a camera pointed at the timing and scoreclock ? ---

I did give this a try and it did 90% of what I needed, but there were gaps and it’s no longer updated.
