THE OASIS PLATFORM

NOW AND IN THE FUTURE

SMT’s 37 years of experience in developing next-level technology for the live sports industry has led to the creation of OASIS (Organization of Asynchronous Sports Information Subsystems), a powerful organizing philosophy centered around an extraordinary data management system. ​

OASIS as an organizing philosophy views the data landscape of a sports league and/or event in three (3) layers: ​​

Level 0     All subsystems that create data or video

Level 1     The central hub that absorbs, collates, synchronizes, organizes, expands, and distributes

                  all Level 1 data via push and query APIs

Level 2     All subsystems that consume, present, or use the data

OASIS’ organizing philosophy defines a simple, intuitive approach to a sports league or event’s data governance and data management but requires a highly disciplined, central authority to maintain the proper separation of the layers and to maintain functional independence between layers for a sports league/event to gain the full benefits of the OASIS organizing philosophy.

OASIS is agnostic as to whether there is a single vendor or multiple vendors supplying the various subsystems at Level 0 or Level 2. The OASIS organizing philosophy ensures all subsystem suppliers maintain functional independence, communicate clearly to others and receive the full benefit of their participation. ​

As a product, the OASIS Platform is a highly integrated, multi-venue, time-synchronized, multilevel, data management system that SMT architected, designed and created to provide professional sports leagues and events with a centrally controlled and league-controlled platform to organize, maintain, administer, and manage all phases of the league or event’s data creation, data distribution, data visualization, and data monetization.

OASIS PLATFORM

MAXIMIZE MONETIZATION

The OASIS solution is all-inclusive, future-proof and component agnostic, giving clients the flexibility
to integrate technologies from third-party vendors
and integrate new technologies as they become available. 
The OASIS Platform will give rightsholders the ability to control their data and video rights more directly while maximizing the ability to monetize those rights with third parties.

OASIS PLATFORM

KEY FEATURES

1

APPLICATION INTERFACE

SMT design to optimize the data flow based on APIs structure:

  • RTP (Realtime Time Push) API or Realtime Time Push so that data is instantly available for consumption

  • REST API so that data is automatically stored and available for query

Per this design to organize, normalize, and streamline the data workflow,
SMT can then focus separately on the management of the live data vs historical data.

2

MONITORING/DATA QUALITY

Along with the treatment of the data via API, SMT can monitor, analyze and correct location tracking data. We call this process “smoothing of the data” as it allows us to fill in any gap for a consistent frame of data.

3

VIDEO

The OASIS ecosystem ingests multiple video feed through our tandem server and stamps the video with synchronized timecodes to create live replays and  highlights via our OPTICS Pro proprietary software.

4

SMT EDGE

SMT EDGE is the SMT data analytics platform at Level 2. SMT will develop algorithms (per client input) in our eventing engine at Level 1 to create unique and new statistics for the recipients/consumers.

Monetizing Data Rights

The SMT OASIS Platform provides a client with full and centralized control of data distribution to any recipient, allowing the client to set data pricing value in exchange for data rights. SMT OASIS gives rightsholders centralized and absolute control of all data and valued-added information with the ability to monetize rights through SMT’s interfaces with rightsholders’ third- party clients.

 

Future Proofing of the Data

The SMT OASIS Platform focuses on data integration, integrity, quality and validation, providing a client with authenticated data and establishing the only official source of data. The structure of the OASIS Platform is agnostic to third-party sources and therefore can remain intact as clients change suppliers and vendors, guaranteeing a future-proofed investment.

 

The Power of OASIS’ Natural Ecosystem

OASIS provides full flexibility and customization at any level, with the ability to ingest any input, develop custom algorithms, create new data sets or packages, and validate and distribute desired data. In essence, OASIS delivers a powerful data platform that is constantly, logically and legitimately evolving, regardless of the changing scope of suppliers and vendors.

LEVEL 0 BENEFITS

EVENT-CENTRALZED DATA COLLECTION

  • Agnostic: OASIS takes data input from any source provider(s).

  • Unlimited Input: OASIS has the flexibility to intake existing and/or new data and link data to timecodes.

  • Input Independence: OASIS offers a set of native data protocols that allows a third-party vendor to supply tracking, scoring, and other types of data. If a third-party vendor is unable to supply data using one of these OASIS native data protocols, OASIS can be customized to parse that vendor’s specific data format.

  • Input Connectivity: OASIS can receive Level 0 data using a variety of industry-standard connection types, including UDP, TCP, HTTP POST, WebSockets and SignalR.

LEVEL 1 BENEFITS

OFFICIAL DATA FOUNDATION

  • Data Normalization: Data is normalized into a standard OASIS format so that it is easily digestible at Level 2. Furthermore, the OASIS normalization assures that Level 2 consumers are not affected when Level 0 data providers are changed.

  • Data Synchronization: All Level 0 data sources are synchronized onto a common timeline. This allows events from each disparate Level 0 data source to be correlated and used to calculate new information such as unique events, statistics, and analytics. This synchronization also allows data to be correlated with video.

  • Data Validation: Per the needs of the customer, OASIS can provide specific data validation capabilities, e.g., range checking, thresholding, and gap analysis.

  • Data Enhancement: OASIS can smooth and interpolate tracking data in order to provide a higher quality output for Level 2 consumers.

  • Data Analytics: Via the built-in Intelligence Engine framework, OASIS can calculate and generate new events, statistics, and analytics that can be seamlessly distributed via OASIS APIs.

LEVEL 2 BENEFITS

REAL-TIME DATA DISTRIBUTION

  • Data Distribution Control: OASIS allows the client to control the distribution of data using both RTP (Real-Time Push) and REST APIs.

  • Unlimited Platform Distribution: OASIS lets the client distribute data to any desired platform, e.g., web, TV, and displays.

  • Broadcast enhancements: OASIS allows for automated event-based choreography of (virtual) graphical inserts based on tracking and official scoring data.

  • Developer-friendly APIs: OASIS supports the querying of data using REST APIs. These types of APIs are recognizable by most application developers. RTP APIs are driven via SignalR and other standard communication methods such as TCP and WebSockets.
