What's new

Curated release notes for the Screen Software suite.

Magic Data & auto-fit text

2026-07-08
  • Magic Data in Designer: pick a sport, a board, and (optionally) your teams — it auto-places, sizes, and LED-styles the full scoreboard in one click, fully editable afterward.
  • Text elements now auto-fit when you resize their box, maximizing legibility without overrunning the layout.
  • Legibility review: Magic flags any element that would be too small to read at your canvas size.

Team catalog grows

2026-07-05
  • Every ISO country joins the catalog as a selectable identity — flags and national colors included.
  • Club teams carry their sports, so search surfaces the right clubs for the right sport.
  • Submit your team to the shared catalog and track its review status from your console.

The Sports Console

2026-07-04
  • A software scoreboard controller for all nine sports — game clock, scores, fouls, timeouts, overtime, and per-jersey stats from a laptop or tablet.
  • Rule presets per level of play (NFHS / NCAA / international), with every rule editable per game.
  • One-tap scoring with labelled undo, automatic break clocks, and a layout runner that pushes the right scoreboard to your screens.
  • NCAA schools and conferences preloaded in the team catalog — names, colors, and logos.

Nine sports & Mobile Director

2026-07-02
  • Basketball, volleyball, wrestling, baseball, badminton, soccer, and football join water polo and swimming — each with polished ready-to-run layouts at TV and LED resolutions.
  • Director now runs on a Fire tablet as a dedicated, org-bound control device for the pool deck or scorer's table.
  • Hy-Tek Meet Manager integration: start lists, heat sheets, and team scores flow onto your screens.
  • New swimming timing decoder: Colorado System 5/6 and Superior Swim Timing serial scoreboards.

Fire TV players & AirPlay

2026-06-30
  • SwimTec Player now runs on Fire TV devices — the same layouts and live data on standard TVs.
  • AirPlay and NDI regions inside layouts: drop live video from a Mac, iPhone, or camera feed into any layout.
  • Remote device control from the console: screenshots, updates, reboot, volume, and clock sync.

Dayparting, offline players & support

2026-06-17
  • Schedule rotation content by day, time-of-day, and date range — evaluated in each screen's local time, with live events automatically taking over.
  • Players are now offline-complete: every screen caches its content and schedule and keeps playing the right thing with no internet.
  • See content-sync status per player — queued, downloading, or on the device.
  • Open and track support tickets right in the console.

One Director, web & desktop

2026-06-16
  • The Live Director runs in the browser and on the desktop from one codebase — same Video Wall, Content Library, groups, and workspaces.
  • Organizations are set up by SwimTec and your team joins by invitation (invite-only accounts).

Cloud platform launch

2026-06-15
  • Web console for your whole organization: subscription, team, devices, and media.
  • Design layouts in the browser and push them to players live.
  • Zero-touch player provisioning on NovaStar Taurus LED walls.
