Game-Sync Quick Tips

Sync to your TV

OBJECTIVE: OnSwitch plays lighting effects a split second after a play happens on TV!

• Tap Delay button.

  • Leave delay controls up while you watch the game.

  • Increase delay to trigger effects later. Decrease to trigger sooner.

  • When lights trigger immediately after play completes, it’s just right.

• If DELAY=O and lights still flash after the play happens on TV, then…

  • PAUSE your live TV service until the light effects are before your TV.

    • Note: This is usually required for NHL game-sync.

  • Then use the Delay controls as described above.

League-Specific Tips

Look for a key event in each sport. Compare TV game clock to OnSwitch game clock.

• NHL:

  • Look for Face-offs.

    • Compare game clocks.

    • NHL usually requires 1-3 minutes of live TV pause to get light effects ahead of game-play.

  • Fine tune with +/- buttons until lights flash just after puck drops.
    

• NBA, NCAAB:

  • Adjust delay until score matches TV.

  • Look for any basket.

  • Fine tune with +/- buttons until lights flash just after ball goes through net.
    

• MLB:

  • Adjust delay until current inning and outs match TV. (MLB has no game clock.)

  • Look for Strikeouts. (Or any play, really.)

  • Fine tune with +/- buttons until lights flash just after plays happen.
    

• NFL:

  • Look for first downs.

    • Compare game clocks.

    • NFL may requires pausing live TV first.

  • Fine tune with +/- buttons until lights flash just as football crosses line-to-gain.

Watch game with set delay controls up. Adjust until it’s synced. Then enjoy your game!

Which lights will flash?

Before entering game: go to Groups screen.

• Tap the name of group you want animations to appear on.

• Tips:

  • Pick lights near TV screen.

  • To optimize: create custom group with just lights you want.

  • Groups with 7 or fewer lights keep animations smooth.

Controlling the Game Stream

• Tap center image to pause game.

• Tap again to resume game.
