Broadcast

Ninja Timer OBS Broadcast Overlay allows event organisers and livestream operators to display competition information directly in a livestream using OBS Studio or another compatible browser-source workflow.

​

Rather than manually updating graphics every time an athlete runs, Ninja Timer can publish the current competition state to its broadcast service. The overlay retrieves that information and displays the relevant details on screen, helping the broadcast stay aligned with the action being recorded or streamed.

​

The overlay supports different display modes, including live competition information, leaderboards, running order and obstacle information. This allows organisers to show the information that is most useful at a particular moment—for example, highlighting the current athlete during a run, showing rankings between runs or displaying the upcoming running order.

​

By combining live timer and competition information with the event's video feed, the overlay helps create a more informative and professional-looking broadcast. Viewers can better understand what is happening, follow athlete progress and keep track of the competition without relying solely on commentary.
