The Technology

Middleware Built for the Floor

Crew4 operates as a software layer — no new hardware, no infrastructure overhaul. It works with what your arena already has.

How It Works

A Software Layer, Not a Hardware Replacement

Crew4 is middleware. It sits between your existing arena systems and your officiating crew, processing data in real time and delivering decisions through channels your officials already use.

There is nothing to install on the floor. No new cameras to mount. No proprietary hardware to procure. Crew4 integrates with the tracking and broadcast infrastructure already present in elite venues.

The result is a fourth layer of officiating coverage that activates immediately — without disrupting the game, the crew, or the venue.

Core Capabilities

Four Capabilities. One Seamless Layer.

01

Real-Time Processing

Crew4 processes positional and boundary data continuously throughout live play. Decisions are generated and delivered within the same game moment they occur — not reviewed after the fact.

02

Existing Infrastructure Compatible

The platform is designed to work with the camera systems, tracking networks, and communication infrastructure already deployed in elite basketball venues. No proprietary hardware is required.

03

Crew Communication Integration

Crew4 delivers data through the communication channels officials already use. There is no new interface to learn, no additional device to carry. The information arrives where it is needed, when it is needed.

04

Broadcast Compatible

The system is designed to operate alongside existing broadcast workflows. Data outputs can be surfaced for production teams without requiring changes to broadcast infrastructure.

Performance

Speed That Matches the Game

Elite basketball moves faster than any human can track from a single position. Crew4 targets a processing latency under 5ms — fast enough to be genuinely useful in live officiating, not just post-game review.

That speed is not incidental. It is the design requirement. A system that delivers decisions after the moment has passed is not an officiating tool — it is a replay system. Crew4 is built for the floor, not the booth.

<5ms

Target processing latency

From event detection to crew notification
