10. Broadcasting your games online
For broadcasting single matches or entire
tournaments the online broadcasting option can
be used. This set-up is achieved by connecting
your boards in strings as shown in Figure 4.
We recommend connecting no more than 12
Smart Boards in one string. This set-up requires 1
“First Board connection set” for your rst board and
11 additional connection sets, one for each of the
next 11 boards. Please keep in mind that you need
a new string for each set of 12 boards.
When each string of boards is connected to your
admin PC, the boards can be monitored using
DGT LiveChess. In LiveChess the tournament
can be set up and boards can be linked to player
pairings.
In order to broadcast the matches go to the
“Rounds” tab. Select the boards of which you wish
to broadcast the match and start the recording.
Then go to the “Output” tab and select “Export
to LiveChess Cloud”. This will automatically create
a link you can share with your viewers. Viewers
will be able to follow the matches on their own
devices, such as phones or tablets.
To show the games on local screens at your venue,
open the previously mentioned link in a browser
on a computer or Smart TV.
