Basketball Timeout Alert · Floodlight

A lower-third that announces a timeout: the calling team in large type, the game time it was called, how many timeouts that side has left, and the side's crest and colour, on a deep indigo plate.

Design rationale

The calling side wears its own colour and crest

The tab on the left edge and the crest follow the side that called the timeout (lastTimeout.color, lastTimeout.logo).

Cued by the operator, fed by the game

State mode: IN on cue, hold, OUT on cue. Nothing is typed; the alert follows the last timeout the scorer recorded.

The team that called it is the headline

The calling side is the largest type. Timeouts left, in lime, is the second line, because viewers want to know how many that side has banked.

A block, a plate and a strip

The scoring side's colour is a slanted block at the left edge that carries the big label. An indigo plate holds the player and details, and a dark strip attached under it shows the score, so the alert reads as one module in the same family as the scorebug. It sits above the bottom-centre scorebug, so both can be on air at once.

Snappy, in order of importance

The plate wipes open, the colour block slides in, the label rises onto it, then the headline, the detail lines and the score strip grow in one after another. The exit is a quick fade, so the alert can be cued on and off without drawing attention to itself.

Operator controls
IN / OUT
Takes the alert on and off air. Cue it in right after the event is recorded and out after a few seconds.
Timeout
Add the graphic to a game (Match Center → Add graphic, or Add to a match in the editor's Data tab). Record timeouts from the Live scoring card in the Control App or on the scorer's phone; the alert shows the latest one.
Standalone
Used on its own, with no game, the Control App shows a field for each of: Team, Kind, Game time, Timeouts left, Team colour, Team crest, the two team abbreviations and the score. Type them and take the graphic on air. In a game these are hidden because the game fills them in, and only the plate colour is left.
Plate colour
Branding → Plate colour changes the background to the league or broadcaster colour.
