XOS inks USF, Sun Belt Conference deals

Orlando Business Journal - 12:18 PM EDT Monday

XOS Technologies, a leading provider of sports technology and media solutions, announced Monday it has added two more collegiate partnerships to its growing portfolio of amateur and professional teams and conferences.

The value of the contracts was not disclosed.

The Sanford-based company has been selected by the Sun Belt Conference to provide in-game instant replay capabilities during all of its conference and non-conference games in 2006.

Also, XOS says that the University of South Florida has launched its new sports Web site -- GoUSFBulls.com -- which is built using the XOS fan management technology platform. USF's new Web site will provide state-of-the-art streaming video and audio, news update, scores, statistics and other features for every USF sports team.

The replay system designed for the Sun Belt Conference will use five cameras to provide replay content for all games, whether they are televised or not. XOS Replay is a fully integrated digital video recording solution that will enable replay officials to watch, and simultaneously record, live feeds from the various cameras mounted in the stadium.

Sunbelt Conference Commissioner Wright Waters welcomes the XOS services.

"We wanted to employ an instant replay system that is not only fast, but also efficient and accurate," Waters says.

Doug Woolard, director of athletics at USF, says XOS is a superior technology partner that will bring the school's Web site to a new level.

"With the launch of our new site, it's certainly a great time to be a USF Bulls fan," says Woolard.

XOS's more than 700 clients include teams in the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Major League Baseball and the Arena Football League.

The company's four product lines include Digital Video Editing Coaching Tools, Facilities Design & Integration, XOS Network Online Fan Management Platform and XOS Total Ticketing & Donor Management Solution.

I also like the sound of the deal the Sun Belt will have...video for games not televised to be used in replay situations, but I guess also for playback on a site?
