Record your scrims for the best stats.
HILLSIGHT reads the score bar, the hill timer and both team scoreboards straight from your video. Five minutes of setup is all it takes for clean results every scrim.
COD Caster view
Record your scrims from COD Caster with the full HUD on screen. What we need to see at all times:
- The score bar at the top: both scores, the hill timer and the hill icon.
- Both team scoreboards: player names, K/D and time on the hill. This is where kills and trades come from.
Following a player inside COD Caster is fine, as long as the score bar and both scoreboards stay visible.
Resolution & quality
Resolution
Record in 1080p (1920×1080) or higher. Scoreboard numbers are small: below 1080p they get too blurry to read reliably. 1440p and 4K work too, 1080p is the best balance between quality and file size.
Local recording (OBS, Elgato…)
Use a quality-based rate control (CQP or CRF around 18–20) rather than a low fixed bitrate. If you use a fixed bitrate, stay at 8,000 kbps or more at 1080p.
Stream recordings
A VOD downloaded from a stream works if it was streamed at 1080p with at least 6,000 kbps. A local recording is always better: platforms compress the video again.
Team colors
We tell the teams apart, and see who holds the hill, from the color of the hill icon and the scoreboards. Two bright, clearly different colors give the best results.
Recommended
Avoid
Overlays & filters
- No overlay over the score bar or the scoreboards: webcam, alerts, sponsor banners… If you stream with overlays, record a clean second output in OBS (Settings → Output → Recording) from a scene without them.
- No color filters: no color grading, LUTs, vibrance or NVIDIA filters on the recording. Keep the game's default colors.
- In-game performance overlays (FPS, ping) are fine as long as they stay in a corner.
Files & upload
- MP4 (MKV and MOV also work).
- One file for the whole scrim night is fine. Every game is found automatically; lobbies and the time between games are skipped and never billed.
- Drop the file in your team folder (the Upload button in your dashboard). Your stats are usually ready the same evening.
- Hardpoint only for now.
Checklist
If some stats look wrong, check these first:
- Recorded in COD Caster, score bar and both scoreboards visible
- 1080p or higher, CQP/CRF 18–20 or 8,000 kbps+
- Two bright, different team colors (no default red, no white or gray)
- Nothing covering the score bar or the scoreboards
- No color filter or LUT on the recording
- Recording started before the first game
