titleHow can I make the most of my battery while scoring?

To extend the battery life of your device when using the app, use these tips:

  • Reduce Screen Brightness.
  • To stop your phone turning up the brightness every time it deems it necessary, turn Auto-Brightness off.
  • While the screen is on, you're consuming power, so make sure that your device isn't awake when you don't need it to be.
  • Disable Background App Refresh.
  • Use Low Power/Battery Saver Mode.
  • Turn off unnecessary radios such as GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi (The app will not use Bluetooth at any stage and, if you are using cellular data to connect, the WiFi can also be safely switched off).
  • Turn off non-essential notifications such as those of email and messaging apps.
  • To ensure that the battery doesn’t deplete during a game, charge device at every opportunity, for e.g. lunch break between two innings.

titleHow does the TV Scoreboard Display work?

Scorers will have the ability to display a scoreboard via an external TV providing they are using an iOS device.

 

When connected, the scoreboard will automatically update based on the live score input during an innings.

Connection methods

 

The scoreboard display is compatible with all iOS devices using an HDMI cable or Apple TV.

 

The connection will need to be setup before the External Scoreboard (TV) function can be used.

 

Notes

  • If you wish to use AirPlay to broadcast to an Apple TV, ensure AirPlay Mirroring is switched ‘on’ in the iOS control centre.

 

  • Once the iPhone/iPad is plugged into a TV using HDMI, the display of the device will be mirrored to that TV, meaning the TV will display what is on the device. When the “External Scoreboard (TV)” option is set to ‘ON’, the display on the TV will change to the scoreboard display.

 

  • Please ensure the TV’s AV/Input channel is set to the HDMI port the device is plugged into

 

 

Sizing and Display

 

The sizing and display is proportional meaning the display will be adjusted for any size screen to suit – big or small. It has also been optimized for a 16:9 (widescreen) format.

 

Note

  • For a clearer display, use a TV that has a resolution of 720p or higher.
