Broadcast Tool

Used for Redshift Contender Series/Champion Series and Duckman LAN broadcasts.

The Broadcast Tool was created in 2021 when I tried to look around for scoreboard and team name/input solutions for OBS, and there weren’t any options that fulfilled the needs for a stable and smooth live broadcast. I decided to partner with SputnikKobra to create the tool for the first Redshift Contender Series event. 

Features:

– Reading team names/logo URLs from Google Sheets API.

– Automatic score input from Echo Arena’s in-game API.

– OBS scene collection and asset installation tool, which edits a JSON file, changing pointers to allow the package to be easily installed anywhere on the computer.

 – Stream Deck support through Bitfocus Companion

The tool was designed specifically for use in Echo Arena tournaments, and was refined for a few years to be very robust, being eventually converted to run only on localhost python scripts, as using ports and GET requests can sometimes be tricky at unorthadox in-person venues. 

We started Revolt as a way to make the tool more universal and user-friendly, and to eventually make it public.
