Overlay is a feature available since the Update 17 in the Live and Replay workspaces. This feature gives the possibility to display different information directly onto the video. The overlay information is available in the Dartfish solution but also in the external environment. 

There are 4 different overlays that can be displayed onto the video:

  • Game time 
  • Event Label
  • Game time + Event Label (top)
  • Game time + Event Label (bottom)


The overlays can be added on videos in the Live and Replay workspaces. The overlay is encrusted on the video if the video is exported locally or shared on dartfish.tv. If an event is added from Replay or Live to the montage with an overlay, this overlay will appear in the montage.


The event label is only displayed in event mode. In video mode, the label is not visible even if the overlay includes the event label (as opposed to the event mode). As a consequence, the function "Export & Share > Share Video" and "Export & Share > Export Video" don't include the event label


A specific game time has been specially implemented for football, with 2 45-minutes periods and two 15-minutes extra time. By default, the game time is a simple timer. To enable the football format, define the period that correspond to the video (1ST, 2ND, ET1 or ET2). This works best when one video per period has been recorded.


Overview


  1. Game time 
  2. Event label
  3. Duration of the event + position in the event
