Scoremeister’s most-appealing feature is probably the level of automation it provides. The data entry process is streamlined and simplified by having Scoremeister work with your existing newsroom platforms.
Score Retrieval
Let Scoremeister retrieve scores and information you already have in your graphics systems. While you can always enter information manually, Scoremeister can get information from your version of VDS’s NewsTicker Suite or any other XML feed. Enter the data once, and let Scoremeister do its magic. Your regular newsroom flow will not be interrupted, rather Scoremeister can automatically update itself to reflect your latest on-air additions.
Video Feeds
Scoremeister eliminates the redundancy of duplicate systems by extracting videos and playlists from a third-party platform. You don’t need to learn another routine or spend time uploading video to a second server. Instead, let Scoremeister present video in pre-configured widgets or from RSS/XML feeds, synchronizing moments after your video is uploaded, compressed, and published.
Viewer-Reporting Features
Benefit from the involved viewer who wants to communicate information with your news organization. Scoremeister provides several score-reporting options to get information into the system and to verify that what is being reported is accurate.
Field2Phone Network
Scoremeister also integrates score retrieval from the Field2Phone network. Field2Phone is a network for the sports teams you cover and want to report scores for. It creates a direct connection for teams to report their own victories and defeats to a centralized database. Knowing that the score provided comes directly from the press box or sideline of the game that just completed, Scoremeister can gather, process and report scores to your media organization without the need to field phone calls, e-mails and text messages from viewers or fans. Field2Phone and Scoremeister once again do the heavy lifting.
