Event Settings
Team Info Download
Authentication

Configure password to enable authentication, or leave blank to disable.

Database Operations
Game-Specific
Networking

Enable this setting if you have a Vivid-Hosting VH-113 access point and Cisco Catalyst 3500-series switch available, for isolating each team to its own SSID and VLAN.

SCC Switch

Enable this setting if you have an SSH-capable managed switch in your SCCs and want to run commands to disable team ethernet ports while network reconfiguration is in progress. This setting only works if advanced network security is enabled above.

PLC
Team Signs

If you are using a set of the (2024+) official team number / timer signs, enter their two-digit IDs (e.g. 51, 52, etc.) here.

Driver Station Lite Mode

When enabled, the Driver Station software will prompt teams to allow Cheesy Arena to connect rather than automatically connecting, and will preserve the ability to use the spacebar for robot disablement. Consider enabling this setting when physical E-Stop buttons are not present.

Publishing

Contact The Blue Alliance to obtain an event code and credentials.

Nexus

Automatically populates practice and playoff match lineups from Nexus. Uses the same event code as TBA; configure it above if enabling.

Match Video Recording

If you are using a Blackmagic HyperDeck device to record match video, enter the device IP address(es) here to have Cheesy Arena automatically start and stop recording for each match. Separate multiple addresses with a comma.

BitFocus Companion Integration

If you are using BitFocus Companion for automation, configure the server address/port and button locations (page/row/column) for each event type to automatically trigger button presses during match events. Leave the server address blank to disable the integration.

Note: Enter the IP address and enable the TCP Listener in BitFocus Companion settings. The default TCP port is 51234. Leave address blank to disable Companion integration.

Event Button Mappings

Configure page/row/column coordinates for each event. Set Page to 0 to disable a specific event trigger. Note: Companion uses 0 as a valid row/column number, so only the Page field is used to enable/disable events.
