ScoreKeepr

ScoreKeepr 2.7 is Here!

Introduction

ScoreKeepr is a fully-featured character generator made especially for sports. It can produce a scoreboard with a user-controlled clock and score, lower thirds with in-game and season stats, a fading graphic to lead in and out of commercial breaks, and even a full-screen scoreboard to give your announcers and crew a break during your commercial-free webcasts.

The history of ScoreKeepr:

Having spent the last seven years doing sports broadcasts and the last two with a Tricaster, I know where you are coming from. Back in 2006, I was asked to build an entire station for under $10,000. My client asked for the works - including a sports bug to show the time and score. I told them that would be impossible without spending 2-2.5x the set budget. Sure you could have a graphic fade in with the score every now and then, but you certainly wouldn’t have a stop clock. I was frustrated because I knew there had to be a better solution. And thus ScoreKeepr was born.

What next?
Over the last two years, ScoreKeepr has rapidly advanced. Initially, just a scoreboard application, it is now a fully-featured sports character generator program, with sports-specific scoreboards and an associated stats management application, StatKeepr.
