We recently created a graphics package for livestreaming fencing, which provides a read-out of the scoreboard to the Captivate (formerly Titler Live) software.

The details read from the scoreboard cover the "hit" lamps, scores, clock (including fractional seconds in the last 10s), period, red/yellow cards, and the priority indicator. On top of that, the package provides a place to enter the fencer names and nationalities, and set colours for them.

This is all made possible by the scoreboard offering a data feed. This one happens to be a Favero FA-07, which has an RS-422 interface.

We can build on this experience to create graphics packages for other scoreboards and for other titling packages. Most graphics packages offer an API that we can use.
