Live card prices on your stream

Show a card to the camera and your viewers instantly see what it's worth. Scanner Studio recognises cards in real time, and the OBS overlay shows their prices, the most valuable pulls and the value of the whole opening.

From camera to overlay

Studio runs in your browser, and you add the overlay to OBS like any other source.

  1. 1

    You show a card

    Hold the card up to the camera as usual. In live mode you don't have to click anything.

  2. 2

    Studio recognises it

    We match the card to the mTCG.app catalogue, including the exact printing and its current market price.

  3. 3

    The price goes on stream

    The OBS overlay shows your viewers the card with its price, the most valuable pulls and the value of the whole session.

Scanner Studio

Built for streaming

Every feature was designed around what happens on stream when cards appear one after another.

Live scanning

Show the card and the rest happens by itself

Studio keeps analysing your camera feed and recognises every card that appears in it. If you prefer full control, switch to manual mode and scan with the Space bar or the F8 key.

Gold highlight

A hit deserves its own entrance

Set the price from which a card gets a gold frame, a bolder entrance and a shine sweeping across the whole panel. Your viewers know straight away that something special has turned up.

Session summary

A counter that tells you whether the opening paid off

The summary counts the cards and adds up their value. Enter what your products cost, and instead of the total you'll see how much is left to break even, and once you've covered the cost, the profit from the opening too. You can leave out cheap cards by setting a minimum value that counts towards the total.

Scan scope

Narrow recognition down to the sets you're opening. Scans get faster and there are fewer mistakes.

Choose the printing

When the same artwork comes in several printings, Studio shows them side by side and asks which one you're holding.

Repeats under control

If you show a card in live mode that was scanned a moment ago, Studio asks whether to add it to the total again.

Corrections on the fly

Remove a wrong match from the session list with one click, and the overlay updates straight away.

Breaks with one switch

During a break you take the whole overlay off screen at once and bring it back without changing any settings.

A look that fits your channel

Choose from three themes, eight accent colours and three entrance animations, then drag and resize the overlay elements on the scene.

PSA 9 and PSA 10 prices

For cards where we track prices of graded copies, the overlay also shows PSA 9 and PSA 10.

Prices in three currencies

Show them in Polish złoty, euros or Czech koruna, depending on who you're talking to on stream.

Setup

Ready in a few minutes

You don't need any plugins: the browser source built into OBS is all it takes.

  1. 1

    Copy the overlay link

    In Studio you'll find a private link to your overlay. Treat it like a stream key: if you ever need to, you can generate a new one and the old one stops working.

  2. 2

    Add a source in OBS

    Add a new Browser source, paste the link and set the size to 1920 × 1080, or 3840 × 2160 if you stream in 4K. The overlay background is transparent.

  3. 3

    Connect your camera

    If your camera already runs in OBS, start the virtual camera (Start Virtual Camera) and select it in Studio. The same picture then goes both to your stream and to recognition.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find the answer to your question? Write to [email protected].

How much does Studio cost?

Studio and the overlay are free during the pilot. We'll tell participants about the terms after that well in advance, before anything changes.

Which cards does the Scanner recognise?

Pokémon, One Piece, Lorcana, Riftbound and Cyberpunk cards from the sets available on mTCG.app. We keep adding new releases.

Where do the prices come from?

They're the same current market prices we show in the card catalogue on mTCG.app. On the overlay you can show them in Polish złoty, euros or Czech koruna.

What equipment do I need?

All you need is a computer with a browser and a camera that sees the card up close. Even lighting without glare on foiled cards works best.

Does the overlay work outside OBS?

The overlay is a page with a transparent background, so it works in any streaming software that supports a browser source, such as OBS Studio and Streamlabs Desktop.

Is mTCG.app visible on the overlay?

Yes, a discreet mTCG.app credit appears below the card's price. It lets your viewers know where the prices come from.
