The Challenge:
In pro sports, real-time intelligence wins championships.
Modern sports are data-driven. From 4K game film and optical or LIDAR player tracking, to biometric and wearable sensor data, pro sports datasets are getting larger. And decision-making windows are shrinking fast.
Legacy transfer and shipping drives are too complex and unreliable for fast-moving sports analytics file transfer. Whether prepping for the trade deadline or analyzing prospect performance, you need intelligent managed file transfer that moves as fast as the game.
- Complex legacy tools: FTP and legacy MFT are too brittle, prone to failure, and feature outdated and complicated user interfaces.
- Lightweight standard cloud: Standard file sharing tools like Dropbox and WeTransfer throttle your speed and can’t handle large files.
- Inefficient manual workflows: Traditional MFT either doesn’t offer automation or requires third-party tools for hands-free workflows.
- Spotty Wi-Fi and network congestion: Unreliable venue connections lead to failed uploads and wasted hours for scouts and collaborators in the field.
- Transfer babysitting: When legacy MFT and standard file sharing tools get interrupted, they often require manual restarts from zero.

Streamline Your Tech Stack: Hudl & Catapult Workflows
MASV is the accelerated, reliable, and refreshingly simple ingest layer that feeds specialized sports analytics software, ensuring data is ready for analysis hours faster than traditional methods.
Hudl & video analysis workflow
MASV eliminates the upload bottleneck for teams using Hudl Sportscode and other performance analysis software:
- Automated export: Set a MASV Watch Folder to monitor your Hudl Sportscode export directory. The moment an analyst finishes a CSV analytics file, a Sportscode XML, or high-bitrate game film, MASV can automatically push the package to one or multiple destinations.
- Remote scouting workflows: Scouts can remotely upload game film via a drag-and-drop, browser-based MASV Portal directly to an S3 cloud storage bucket. The bucket can then serve as a high-speed gateway for Hudl ingest.
Catapult & performance data workflow
Managing the massive datasets generated by the Catapult OpenField analytics platform requires reliable movement of .OFD, .CPF, .CATR, .RAW, and other files:
- Large dataset handling: A single training session generates gigabytes of biometric tracking data per athlete. MASV’s accelerated network and Multiconnect channel bonding moves multi-gigabyte folders from the training ground to central databases fast and with checksum verification.
- API-driven integration: Use the MASV API or Agent to bridge the gap between your local Catapult Data Manager and a remote analytics server, automating the transfer of high-frequency sensor data and GPS totals to ensure updated performance models in close to real time.

Why MASV Over Other File Transfer Tools?
Legacy MFT requires complicated setup and is prone to packet loss, and consumer-grade file sharing tools just can’t reliably handle heavy sports files.
| Feature | Intelligent Managed File Transfer (MASV) | Consumer-Grade File Sharing (Dropbox / WeTransfer) | Legacy MFT (Signiant & Aspera) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recovery Mechanism | Automatically resumes from point of failure without manual intervention. | Fails on interruption; requires a manual restart – often from zero. | Resumes from the point of failure, but requires installation of local software for stability. |
| Field Accessibility | Scouts use a drag-and-drop, browser-based upload link; no account, app download, or login required. | Requires every scout to have an active account and manage app logins. | Requires scouts to install the Signiant app and manage firewall/plugin configurations. |
| Automation | Enables automated ingest; as soon as a file is uploaded or saved locally, it begins uploading to potentially multiple target destinations. | Requires manual uploads and downloads for every new game file or data package. | Supports hot folder automations primarily through secondary, more expensive products like Signiant Jet. |
| Workflow Speed | Starts transferring live video files while they are still being recorded, allowing analysts to view and tag film instantly. | Analysts have to wait for the entire game, practice, or workout session to end before the upload can begin. | Supports growing files, but access often requires manual clipping or complex enterprise configurations. |
| Resiliency | Bonds multiple signals (like Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and 5G) into one resilient pipeline for unmatched stability in crowded venues. | Limited to a single connection. Uploads frequently stall or fail in high-traffic venues. | Prone to packet loss and lacks channel bonding. |
| Storage Flexibility | Integrates natively with more than 20 storage providers; can deliver files directly into virtually any cloud or on-prem storage. | Proprietary, siloed cloud storage; extremely limited cloud storage integration options. | Works with multiple storage options, but requires complex IT setup to bridge on-prem and cloud storage locations. |
| Cost Structure | No per-seat fees, flexible pricing options (PAYG, subscription, credits, custom enterprise) with unlimited users and Portals. | Monthly subscriptions per user; costs scale rapidly as you add more scouts and analysts. | Expensive annual contracts and licensing costs, and additional fees for extra users or portals. |

Dave Stiles Editor, PanCam Pictures |
In the past I would have had to mail a drive, or fly my editor out to do on-site editing… If we were shipping drives they’d be a week behind, and the final deliverable would have been at least a week behind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does MASV handle unreliable stadium or arena Wi-Fi?
MASV is built specifically for high-interference environments where standard connections often fail. Through Multiconnect channel bonding, you can combine multiple internet sources – such as stadium Wi-Fi, 5G mobile hotspots, and Ethernet – into a single, high-speed pipeline. If a connection drops entirely, MASV automatically resumes the transfer using checkpoint restart the moment you’re back online, ensuring you never have to restart a multi-gigabyte upload from zero.
Can our analysts begin working on game film before the match ends?
Yes. MASV supports Growing Files, which allows you to begin transferring large video files while they are still being recorded to disk. Instead of waiting until the final whistle to offload a hard drive, your analytics team can receive the footage in near real-time, enabling halftime adjustments and faster post-game breakdowns. Organizations can pair Growing Files with MASV Express, which allows recipients to download files while they’re still uploading.
Do our scouts in the field need a MASV account to upload footage?
No. You can create a branded, drag-and-drop, browser-based MASV Portal – a secure file uploaded that can be embedded on any website or SaaS application – and send the link to your scouts. They simply drag and drop their 4K game film or player data into their browser to start the transfer. There are no software installs, plugins, or account logins required for the uploader, making it a frictionless way to collect data from anywhere.
How secure is our proprietary scouting data during transfer?
MASV provides enterprise-grade security to protect your competitive advantage. MASV is Trusted Partner Network (TPN) Gold Shield verified, the same security standard used by major Hollywood studios to prevent leaks, and adheres to ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II data protection standards. Every transfer is encrypted in flight and at rest, and you can add mandatory password protection, download limits, and expiry dates to ensure only authorized personnel can access sensitive dossiers, training data, tactical footage, and other datasets.
Does MASV integrate with our existing sports analysis software?
MASV acts as the high-speed ingest layer for your entire tech stack. Through built-in automations, you can set MASV to automatically deliver incoming files directly to your preferred cloud storage (like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud) or media asset manager. From there, your footage can be transferred into tools like Hudl or Catapult.
