B.S.S. (Basketball Statistics Software) is a software application developed for on-screen statistics and graphic display of handball match statistics, according to ABA Liga guidelines. The Package is intended to operate according to the production requirements and it can be upgraded, improved and expanded. Based on .NET Microsoft platform, in the background is the running Easy Render Server, responsible for graphic output secured with FILL and KEY SDI-HD, SDI-UHD, SDI-4K, SDI-12G output. The application is easy to install and use and enables the work to be executed in different modules according to the conditions of the sports hall and the OB Van. Its development started in 2014 and all the upgrades are available for download on the following link http:\\www.ems.com\sport. The software is developed by Kiril Markovski and Milco Uzunov, and the graphics design of the modules is developed by 3D Project Studio where we tasted all the hardware and software units. B.S.S. (Basketball Statistics Software) is composed of the following four different modules:
- CG Unit;
- Data Entry Unit;
- Manual Timer Unit;
- Info Unit;
Data Entry Unit is a module placed near the court table and it is used for entry of statistics data during the match. This module can be placed on other location if the person that enters the data has an inside of the match and can monitor all activities on the ground. It gives an opportunity to save all the data at the end of the match for additional analysis.
CG Unit is a module placed in the OB Van or Master Room for match production. This module is handled according to the requirements of the sport producer, and it can display a player or a team statistics at any time with the corresponding graphics.
