Every display is its own page in the browser, and you combine them freely: in the livestream, in the venue and at the announcer’s desk.
Start list and results appear large over the picture, as in major broadcasts, with the heat’s records in the header. The results colour every final time against the entry time, show the difference in percent and mark the top three with medal stripes. Five colour schemes; position, width and display times are adjustable, and the wording alternates with English if you wish.
During the race the live picture stays clear. In one corner runs the race clock with event, heat and the leader’s distance, in another a small list with reaction times, splits at every wall and the finish. A broken record shows in gold on the final time and in the race clock.
Names and lane numbers lie on the water in perspective, the number at the starting block. At the start a bar sweeps across the lane from the block; at the finish, rank, name and time lie on the water. Calibrated once to the camera position, the labelling holds for the whole meet.
First the start list with names and club codes, then the race with length time, distance, rank and time. From the first turn every lane shows its rank: green for gaining places, red for losing them. Up to three scoreboards, each with its own resolution, from a screen to an LED wall.
The podium shows medal, name, club and time in large type. With each place the plinth rises, the card drops onto it and the medal spins in; the winner gets rays and confetti. If Meet Manager ranks by year of birth, each group gets its own podium.
Spectators follow the results live on their own phones, in portrait format and without an app: simple or extended with splits, race progress and a projected final time. Swimmers and clubs can be searched, and “Mine” shows every start of your favourites. Post the QR code at the venue or show it on the scoreboard, and with the bell a notification arrives shortly before the start, at the start and with the official result. The view is marked as unofficial and only needs an internet connection on the meet computer.
The previous heat on the left to read from, the current heat in the middle in fixed lane order, the schedule on the right with how far ahead of or behind schedule the meet is. Below, the order with the gaps, even a length or more behind, and a large badge shows whether the result is unofficial or official. For small screens there is a compact view in large type.
The control desk sees all displays side by side, plus the timing data stream. Next to it: when the last data arrived, how old the Meet Manager import is and how the computer is doing. For emergencies there are four safe actions, such as reconnecting to OBS.
Meet, display durations, overlay position, colours, wording and name formatting are all set in one place. The control panel runs in the browser, on a phone as well.
The server runs invisibly in the background, and an icon in the system tray shows with a green, yellow or red dot whether everything is running. Its window names every service in plain words, opens all pages and shows the passwords. If the server stops, the control app restarts it after two seconds.
Start lists, names, club codes, entry times, schedule and results come from Splash Meet Manager. The import is stored locally: the meet carries on even when Meet Manager is temporarily unreachable.
The demo replays a recorded meet with the real program pages. The demo version runs with the simulator, even without a timing system.
