OUR SERVICES
SMT's broadcast and event specialists take pride in helping our clients turn their visions into reality. From site review to choosing our most impactful solutions and on-site set-up and operation, SMT is devoted to our clients’ success every step of the way.
LIVE SPORTS ON-SITE AND
BROADCAST ENHANCEMENTS
SMT provides its sports clients with effective on-site and broadcast data visualization and storytelling tools. Below is an overview and brief description of our most prominent products and services.
SCORING AND STATISTICAL SYSTEMS
Having designed and developed the official timing, scoring and administration systems for multiple leagues and events, SMT understands the complexities of live events and the significance of effective real-time data presentation.
SMT scoring systems integrate both manual and automated data capture technologies and include systems that generate official statistics and analytics. These systems also deliver content via broadcast and onsite video displays graphics, and to various digital platforms (mobile, web and information systems) that provide real-time, historical and year-to-date historical data and comparisons for the media.
SMT’s event administration systems include a variety of applications to assist event organizers with the management of major sports events. They include, for example, sophisticated scheduling and prize money systems as well as athlete registration systems and PISA (Press Information System Application), used at Wimbledon to schedule athlete interviews for media. SMT can provide various examples of how it has assisted event organizers with this technology and expertise.
TRACKING AND TELEMETRY
From NASCAR to the NFL, SMT’s tracking technologies help tell stories through data visualizations via the four key forms of sports tracking technology (optical, GPS, infrared (IR), and ultra-wideband (UWB)/RFID).
SMT assists Major League Baseball, Minor League baseball and the PGA Tour with our optical tracking technology. We use computer vision to track baseballs and golf balls to within a pixel or better accuracy. SMT has tracked over 10 million pitches in baseball as well as all of the approach shots for every PGA Tour event. For NFL broadcasts, SMT’s CameraTracker provides an optical data tracking system on an aerial broadcast camera to insert live 3D virtual graphics onto the playing field. SMT’s Next Gen Tele auto render system brings impactful value with storytelling tools that show fans the route variations as plays develop.
SMT captures a plethora of GPS-generated information for motorsports, including telemetry data (speed, throttle, brakes, gears, and RPM), positioning data and camera data. The data is used to create a real-time digital record of the race that is dispersed to various systems that feed on-air graphics.
SMT’s Puck and Player Tracking technology for the NHL is based on infrared technology. We place sensors in the back collar of the player uniforms as well as sensors inside the puck to track accurately within an inch.
The Professional Fighters League (PFL) uses our Ultra-Wide Band/RFID technology to help determine punch speeds of their fighters which is then visualized throughout the fight as graphical insertions to help augment the broadcaster's storytelling efforts.
GRAPHICS INTEGRATION
SMT’s in-house design entity, SMT Creative Studio, specializes in the creation and implementation of compelling content presentation for the on and off-site audiences, including video displays, broadcast and digital platforms. These state-of-the-art graphics presentations include real-time 2D/3D HD animations, virtual and augmented reality graphics.

2: OASIS VISION STAEMENT
2.1
OASIS LIV VISION STATEMENT
Provide LIV Golf with a future-proof data platform to enable immediate execution of data distribution plans while building the platform for seamless integration of future strategies designed to grow fan engagement and new revenue streams.
3: THE OASIS PLATFORM
THE OASIS PLATFORM
NOW AND IN THE FUTURE
SMT’s patented OASIS (Organization of Asynchronous Sports Information Subsystems) Platform is a highly integrated, multi-venue, time-synchronized, multi-level, data/video management system that SMT architected, designed, and created to provide professional sports leagues, teams, federations, or governing bodies with a platform to maintain, administer and manage, centralized control over all phases of its data and video, including:
-
Creation
-
Collection
-
Organization
-
Synchronization
OASIS represents the ultimate aggregation platform that will allow LIV Golf to control, integrate, and
index all historical, current, and future data and video sources and endpoints.
OASIS as an organizing philosophy views the data landscape of a sports league in three (3) layers:
Level 0 Comprises all stand-alone systems that independently create sources of data and video, such as:
-
Official Scoring and Stats Systems
-
Can include historical information
-
-
Positional Tracking Systems
-
Biometric Data Sampling Systems
-
Camera & Video Systems
The OASIS Platform has a published data protocol document for how Level 0 subsystems
should provide and output their data for delivery to, and absorption by, Level 1 of OASIS.
Level 1 The central hub that absorbs, collates, synchronizes, organizes, expands, and distributes
all Level 0 data via push and query APIs. SMT’s Sports Intelligence Engine (SIE) is an artificial
intelligence engine that intelligently combines the inputs from multiple Level 0 Sources into a singular central database on a common timecode.
Level 2 Comprises all stand-alone systems that independently consume, use, and present Level 0 and
Level 1 data and video for specific use cases such as:
-
Coaching Applications
-
Athlete Performance & Data Analytics
-
Officiating
-
Broadcast Graphics
OASIS’ organizing philosophy defines a simple, intuitive, approach to a sports league’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 to gain the full benefits of the OASIS organizing philosophy.
OASIS is agnostic as to whether there are multiple individual vendors supplying the various subsystems at Level 0 or Level 2 or whether there is just one vendor supplying all subsystems at Level 0 or all subsystems at 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/video management system that SMT architected, designed and created to provide professional sports leagues with a centrally controlled and league-controlled platform to organize, maintain, administer, and manage all phases of the league’s data creation, data distribution, data visualization, and data monetization.

In the video that follows, you will see how all the information from the OASIS Platform comes to life for the NHL. The OASIS “Quad Split” video has four components:
-
Upper right quadrant: Our tracking video allows the user to see that all players and the puck are being properly tracked and tagged.
-
Lower right quadrant: One of two multipurpose and interactive portions of the video controller allows the user to see (and change between) various screens including:
-
The graphical interface screen where operators can insert virtual elements in real time;
-
A Commentator Information Screen (CIS);
-
A data analysis screen that confirms the system is receiving data as planned and measures the real-time quality of the data being received against agreed-to protocols;
-
An eventing screen that recognizes data and newly created events as they occur; and
-
A script editor that allows the operator to change instructions to the system for insertion of virtual elements and/or pre-programmed instant replay scripts.
-
-
Lower left quadrant: This quadrant is similar to the lower right hand quadrant in that it allows the operator to toggle between screens. This video clip demonstrates the real-time generation of automated events being created through the OASIS Platform’s live eventing engine.
-
Upper left quadrant: Displays the real-time output of the system; this output will be highlighted in future videos showing the application.

7: OPERATIONAL CRITERIA
SERVICE LEVELS (MAY NEED COPY EDITS)
-
OASIS RTP (Real Time Push) APIs are implemented within minimal overhead and are multi-threaded in nature so that individual endpoint latencies on the order of milliseconds are typically achieved. Exact latency is affected by fundamental cloud latency (based on deployment region) and on-premise delays from Level 0 sources.
-
Our goal with OASIS REST APIs is to always achieve minimal (< 0.1 seconds) processing time on all commonly used queries and suitable (< 1 second) processing time on rare queries.
-
Our OASIS MongoDB Atlas back-end (which supports all OASIS REST API routes/queries) is scalable in nature so that databases can be custom sharded & indexed to increase performance where necessary. Furthermore, Atlas offers scalable performance parameters (M30, M40, etc.) which may be increased/decreased in real-time either on a schedule or in response to changing levels of consumer demand.
-
The OASIS solution is built to provide real-time support during all ICC matches. SMT will proactively work with the customer to manage any planned downtime (e.g., for maintenance and/or software upgrades) that will occur outside of scheduled matches.
-
Given the time difference between Dubai and Eastern Time in the U.S. (i.e., SMT HQ), all service requests and/or inquiries outside of live matches will be addressed within SMT’s next working day.
-
SMT will provide full OASIS API documentation and a Swagger site for all consumers. Direct engineering consultation/support will also be provided upon request.
-
If performance parameter increases involve actual cost increases that are beyond the scope of this proposal, SMT will notify ICC and initiate discussions regarding how these additional costs will be paid.
COMPLIANCE
SMT has long-standing security and access policies that are governed by executive leadership and our in-house network administrators which are aligned with ISO_IEC_27001_2013. These security policies and processes have been established over decades of our corporate activity dating back to the late 1990s. SMT strongly enforces the security of not only our internal proprietary data, source code and employee records, but also extends these policies and processes to data that is owned by our clients.
Please see the SMT Securities and Access Policies document for a full overview. (DOC TO BE UPDATED)
INSURANCE
SMT maintains adequate levels of insurance in relation to Professional Indemnity, Public Liability, and Directors’ and Officers’ E&O Insurance consistent with industry standards.
SMT will be glad to provide relevant certificates of insurance upon request.
