Overview
Designer is where a scoreboard gets built: drag in score fields, clocks, sponsor zones, video regions, and animations, style them with a large athletic font library, and preview against live or simulated game data through the same GPU renderer the display uses — the preview is pixel-identical to the board. On game night it becomes the show controller: assignable hotkeys fire animations and score changes together, layouts switch per sport, and a tablet can run the whole show with layouts synced automatically. Designer is the successor to our Rocket Effects software and imports existing Rocket Effects backups and LedPlayer .lay layout files directly.
