Most grounds would have had separate scoreboards back then with a basic vision feed for the ground - seems unlikely albeit possible. Only been the last 10-20 years that grounds have had in-house graphics.

In the 2000s I remember Footy Park covering up the broadcast scorebug to blockout the countdown timer with a generic light blue scorebug which was much bigger than the broadcast one (which somehow ended up on highlight videos on the Crows YouTube channel).
Later on they moved to blacking out the timer.

Good theory but Hawthorn vs Fremantle was at Waverley in 1997 and Waverley's scoreboard was this
Has anyone got info on what the G/H and X/Z are referencing? In this case, most of the vision was either from an in-house camera or possibly a "clean feed" from the broadcaster (i.e. a video mix without the graphics on top).Good theory but Hawthorn vs Fremantle was at Waverley in 1997 and Waverley's scoreboard was this
Interesting but this is probably about the time I was referring to - when I used to go to the SFS for Souths games, from about 2002-2004ish we got the broadcast feed that was sent from the truck to the stadium and the satellite feed (including everything except ads). Later and at ANZ, we got a clean feed (see above).
For those wondering, graphics such as scoreboards and stats are generally mixed in towards the end of the chain in video. You have a "bus" for the cameras and other video sources (such as replay machines and media players) themselves, which often includes transitions/stings mixing between cameras, and then that bus will be overlaid, this overlay fed by the output of the "character generator" or "titler" which used to be something that literally just added text on top, before the 80s/90s when computerised graphics began to be overlaid. That mix, without overlay, can be sent out via an "aux" output from the mixer/switcher to recorders or screens. Each camera may be recorded separately as well for use in highlights packages, etc. but that's moving further away from what's being discussed.
Most of the stadiums I've been to have had a clean feed with a broadcaster logo superimposed over the top - this wouldn't actually be on the clean feed, this is added by the stadium itself or by the broadcaster itself specifically for the big screen.
I would have thought it was other scores around the grounds but who would it be with X and Z?

I’m pretty sure each team was given a corresponding letter in the record handed out at the ground so you had to buy the record to know which scores were whichI would have thought it was other scores around the grounds but who would it be with X and Z?
Bingo! Used to be the same deal with the Budget at SANFL games too and was just updated at the breaks
that cant be 1997 as this was final score 15.9 99 v 11.8 74

My photo of the Waverley scoreboard would be 1999 (the final game at Waverley)

Around the ground scores.
The teams had a letter. The record would have what letter was for what team.

I’m not a soccer guy but I like paramounts graphics. Somehow it looks quintessentially 10 without looking like 10. It’s Perfect
The graphics look clean.
I just wish they would fix the colours so they actually correlate with what the teams are wearing - both games today have the wrong colours

In the same vein as the Cricket graphics?

it’s been 2 years since the last revamp
Need all the details!
Can’t say too much, just that it’s very minimalistic and dark.
Basically following the cricket graphics then I guess?
2019 Ashes doco on Fox now. Definitely going down the dark avenue like the state games.
