Centriq
Every stat, story and scenario — before you need it.
Sport Mode hears the commentary and watches the match at the same time. The instant a player is mentioned, scores or comes off the bench, the right cards appear on the commentator's screen — with no preparation, nothing forgotten and no dead air.
Inside the commentator screen
Three feeds, side by side, filling themselves.
The commentator never types, searches or scrolls. Cards arrive on their own as the match unfolds, sorted into three columns so a single glance finds the right kind of line.
At 40, the number 10 becomes the oldest player to appear in a knockout tie for his country.
The home side have conceded after the 80th minute only twice in their last fifteen tournament matches.
With this 2–1 lead they move onto 6 points and second place, leaving the visitors third on 4.
Travelling supporters are driving the noise in the stand, convinced of a dramatic finish.
Supporters online are singling out the composure of the number 6 at set pieces.
Tonight's performance has set off a wave of speculation about interest from other European clubs.
Despite his age, the number 10 is still driving every transition, pressing without pause into the 84th minute.
The visitors are committing more players forward, leaving their defence exposed on the counter.
This result effectively secures progression and forces the visitors into a must-win final fixture.
Records and statistics · what the internet is saying · what the shape of the game is telling you.
What Sport Mode does
The preparation happens by itself, while the match is running.
Commentators spend hours before kick-off building notes: player records, head-to-head history, league permutations, storylines for every likely substitution. Then the match starts, and the real challenge begins — remembering the right one at the right second, or searching for it live, on air.
Sport Mode removes that job entirely. Everything a commentator would normally dig out of their notes or look up mid-broadcast is delivered at the exact moment it becomes relevant.
Hours of preparation: stats sheets, head-to-head records, possible results, storylines for every likely substitution.
Hoping the right fact comes to mind at the right second — or searching for it live while the game keeps moving.
It's already on the screen. The moment becomes relevant, the card appears — with the record, the context and the storyline ready to say out loud.
Four feeds, one screen
What lands in front of the commentator.
Instant player cards
A player is named, scores, or is subbed on — and their card appears at once: goals against this opponent, season and career numbers, former clubs, and the human storyline behind the moment.
Example: A midfielder scores → his record against this club, his tally this season, and the fact it's his first goal since returning from injury.
Live scenarios & permutations
The league table recalculated in real time as the score changes. What this result means, what a draw would mean instead, and which combinations of other fixtures still matter — without the commentator doing arithmetic on air.
Example: "If this result holds, they go top on goal difference — a draw leaves them third."
The pulse of the fans
Centriq reads what's being said about the match online as it happens — which moment is being argued about, how the mood shifted after a goal or a decision — so the commentary can speak to what the audience is already feeling.
Example: "The substitution on the hour is the most-discussed moment of the night among supporters."
Tactical reads from the pictures
Computer vision follows the shape of the game — formation switches, a pressing line moving up, a pattern repeating down one flank — and turns them into plain-language cards the commentator can say straight away.
Example: "They've shifted to a back three since the hour mark, and it's their fourth counter down the left."

Common questions
What sports desks ask us first.
Does the commentator have to do anything during the match?
No. The cards arrive on their own, triggered by what is happening in the match and what is being said about it. The commentator simply glances at the screen and uses what is useful.
Which sports does it support?
The engine is built around football first, since that is where the demand and the data are richest. Other sports follow the same pipeline — audio, vision and live data — and we scope them per broadcaster during the pilot.
Do we need extra cameras or equipment?
No. Sport Mode works from the broadcast feed you are already producing, alongside your existing setup.
Where does the social listening come from?
Centriq reads public conversation about the match as it happens and summarises the pattern — which moments are being discussed and how the mood is moving. It surfaces the trend, not individual posts.
Can we run Debate Mode as well?
Yes. Both modes run on the same underlying platform, so a network covering matches at the weekend and debates during the week uses one system and one workflow. We put together combined pricing on request.
