Series identity & logo

YOUR BROADCAST PACKAGE

Saving updates preview. Program keeps its current identity until the next TAKE.

YOUR CUSTOM BROADCAST PACKAGE

Readable at race speed.

A single broadcast package with a clear running order, bold driver numbers, and a restrained accent color. Use your logo and series identity without rebuilding a scene.

Session rundown

SELECTED SOURCE

Manual roster settings control the simulated session. Live iRacing mode uses its driver roster and running order. Starting grids are snapshots captured when you take the graphic live; capture before the race begins.

04 / TRANSPARENT OUTPUT

Ready for your scene.

One local browser source for the live graphics bus.

OBS browser-source URL

Open output

Keep GRIDCAST open on the same Windows computer as OBS.
Add a Browser source and paste this URL.
Set width to 1920 and height to 1080.
Stage a graphic in Production, then press TAKE LIVE.

Website preview only: output syncs between tabs on this browser. The Windows app serves a localhost URL that OBS can read.

The output background is transparent. Closing GRIDCAST or losing the source clears graphics after a short timeout. Do not expose the localhost server to the internet.
