3-Camera Sports Video Review
Sideline Instant Replay System with PTZOptics & MySkyCoach
In the fast-paced world of sports, instant replay is no longer just for the big leagues. With PTZOptics Producer Kits and MySkyCoach, teams at any level can break down game footage, improve strategy, and enhance player developmentāall with a simple, scalable, and affordable setup.
In this post, weāll walk you through how we used a three-camera sports video review system with sideline instant replay to cover a hockey game. But whether you’re coaching football, basketball, soccer, or any other sport, this workflow is designed to adapt to your needs.
The Equipment: PTZOptics Producer Kit + MySkyCoach
For this system, we used the PTZOptics Producer Kit, which includes:
ā
Three PTZ cameras for full coverage of the game
ā
SuperJoy Joystick Controller for seamless camera operation
ā
NDI or SDI connectivity for flexible video transmission
We paired this system with MySkyCoach, a real-time instant replay solution that allows teams to quickly review plays and make adjustments on the fly.
How It Works: Multi-Camera Replay in Action
1. Setting Up the Cameras
In hockey (or any sport), camera placement is key. We positioned:
š Camera 1 at center ice for a full-rink view
š Camera 2 behind the goal for scoring angles
š Camera 3 on the bench side for close-ups of plays and coaching moments
For other sports, the same strategy appliesāadjust camera positions based on the field or court.
2. Controlling the Cameras with SuperJoy
The SuperJoy Joystick Controller gives operators precise pan, tilt, and zoom control, making it easy to follow the action and track key players. With preset positions, operators can quickly switch between views for seamless live production.
3. Reviewing Plays with MySkyCoach
Once the cameras are rolling, MySkyCoach makes it simple to capture, review, and analyze plays in real-time.
š² Instantly pull up replays on tablets or monitors

This sideline review system ensures that coaches, players, and analysts can get immediate feedback, making it an invaluable tool for in-game adjustments and post-game analysis.
Why This System Works for Any Sport
The beauty of this setup is its versatility. No matter what sport you’re coaching or covering, a three-camera system with instant replay can provide:
āļø Enhanced training ā Review plays in real time to correct mistakes
