It’s been a long time in coming but we now have a quick tutorial on how to make CGStatLink work with Newtek LiveText. This should address all major questions related to making out output XML files work with LiveText’s watch folder.

Basketball Games with Four Quarters
Where has the time gone? We apologize for the lack of updates. Work continues on SuiteCG and we hope to have some sneak peeks very soon!
In the mean time, we have a short tutorial video to demonstrate a quick work around for tricking CGStatLink Like- Basketball in to operating with a 4-quarter game protocol. We humbly acknowledge that this should have been included from the get-go. We do not have plans to patch this shortcoming, as we are devoting all of our resources in to SuiteCG. We will have a very nice feature set in SuiteCG that will render the CGStatLink Basketball limitation as moot, so stay tuned for more information on that front soon!
We’re Still Here!
It’s been several weeks since our last update…
We’re still alive and kicking but we don’t have a whole lot of interesting things to report.
But if you’re at the College World Series this week and happen to see pitcher and batter stats on the jumbotron, you know where they’re getting that data from. 🙂
We’re working very hard on the foundational work for SuiteCG. We’ve made some big steps in the last few weeks on user interface design work, including how licensing for different modules will work. We’ve taken in lots of ideas and suggestions from our customers and we think we’ll be delivering a fantastic product that will satisfy a wide range of users and budgets.
We thank you for your patience and will post updates as we can!
Baseball/Softball 2.1 Brings DakStats, Pitcher and Batter Stats, and International Language Options!
CGStatLink Lite- Baseball/Softball is now available for download. Users with current licenses will be automatically prompted to download the update the next time they launch the program.
This new release brings the following new features:
- Added support for DakStats Baseball/Softball XML files. Support is limited, as Dakstats does not output the current pitch count, so balls and strikes are unavailable.
- STATCREW AND DAKSTATS ONLY- Added conversion elements for current pitcher and current batter. A new graphics package is available from the website. Support includes season stats when a StatCrew CAP file is used. Season stats are still being tested for DakStats. These outputs are unavailable in Manual Mode.
- Added International Language Support. Now, via a text file, international customers can edit values for “Top of the”, “Bottom of the”, “Final”, and ordinal values for inning numbers.
This release has a few other small tweaks and fixes as well to improve performance. Visit the Baseball/Softball Product Page to download a trial!
CGStatLink Even Easier to Integrate in Wirecast 6.0.3
Great news today for SuiteCG/CGStatLink users that stream with Wirecast! Version 6.0.3 was released yesterday. Among the list of new features is the ability to auto-update image shots. This is GREAT because it means our dynamic PNG file of the Internal CG can be brought in to Wirecast without needing a second monitor or a screen sharing window!
Check out our new tutorial video outlining the steps:
CGStatLink is Becoming SuiteCG
It’s been just a little over a year since the first build of CGStatLink was compiled, and Stream Powered Productions, LLC is excited to announce some big plans on the future of our CG software. Since starting this project as a hobby in March 2014, CGStatLink’s product line has expanded to include four distinct applications– Baseball/Softball, Football, Soccer, and Basketball. As those applications were developed, each new product had some distinctive new features that would benefit previously-released programs. Moving forward we want to contain this “application sprawl” so we can be more responsive to the needs of every customer.
We’ve also had time to explore new avenues and directions for our Internal CG. The product demand and scope has grown to meet the needs of more than just the sports webstreaming market. We have also (not surprisingly) continually seen the pressing need for a Project Editor to allow users to create their own CG pages with ease.
As such, CGStatLink is becoming SuiteCG, a single suite-based CG application that will feature the following:
- A single application with a growing number of modules that customers can access at anytime for demo purposes.
- Each module individually licensed, allowing customers to purchase only what they need.
- A Project Editor for the creation of multi-page projects for our Internal CG, while still maintaining XML and CSV output methods for external CG’s.
- A “studio” module for talkshows and other everyday productions.
- A robust and easy to use multi-sport module for basic scoreboard control of multiple types of sports, plus an enhanced version for player headshots.
- Eventually wrapping the CGStatLink product line in to SuiteCG as specific modules, and growing our sport-specific options.
CGStatLink products will continue to be sold and available for some time. We will not discontinue any CGStatLink product until its SuiteCG counterpart is available.
We firmly believe this new direction will allow us to better respond to new features across different modules and create a solid product that will be useful across production platforms.
Stay tuned in the next few weeks for details about SuiteCG and how this new product will unfold!

You’ve been asking for it so we’ve revealed it!

We admit that it’s a little cumbersome but it’s the best solution for the time being. You can use this process to design your own project with your school or organization’s unique branding and graphics designs, or just tweak the existing project to suit your fancy.
