Scorebird is a new integration available within ProScoreboard. This connection enables real-time score data to be received directly from a Scorebird NEST (Network Scoring Transmitter) into ProScoreboard. This allows live game data to be displayed, transmitted to a live web feed, and synchronized with ProScoreboard during active events.

Connecting a Scorebird NEST Device

1.    Network Setup

• Connect the Scorebird NEST device to the same local network as the system running ProScoreboard.
      •    While not mandatory, it is recommended to assign both devices a static or reserved IP address.
      •    For optimal performance, use a wired Ethernet connection rather than Wi-Fi.

2.    Configure the Network Type

• In ProScoreboard, set the type of network connection using the “Via” field.
      •    Choose Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or the appropriate connection type based on how your computer is connected to the network.
      •    A direct Ethernet connection is strongly recommended for stability and speed.

3. Configuration in ProScoreboard

• Launch ProScoreboard and select the desired Game Type.
• From the menu bar, navigate to ProScoreboard > Settings.
•  In the Settings window, open the Communications tab.
• Click Add Device, then choose Scorebird from the list of available devices.

4. Connection Details

• Enter the IP address of the Scorebird NEST device.
• The Port field should remain set to the default value of 1403.
• Click Connect to establish communication between the two systems.
