Elevating Cheerleading Training with PTZOptics Producer Bundles
How Cheerleaders Use Instant Replay to Perfect Their Routines
At PTZOptics, we recently had the opportunity to test our PTZOptics Producer Bundles at a Phoenix All Stars cheerleading practice in Reading, Pennsylvania. This elite cheerleading team has won multiple championships, and their dedication to excellence is evident in their rigorous training. To help them refine their routines and perfect their skills, they are incorporating sports video technology to enhance their coaching and athlete performance review.
Using Instant Replay to Enhance Training
One of the most valuable tools in the Phoenix All Stars’ training program is instant replay. By using a large screen to play back footage, the athletes can see their movements in real time and make necessary adjustments on the spot. To take this a step further, the team is utilizing the MySkyCoach system, which allows coaches to scrub through video footage on an iPad and provide multi-camera view reviews. With multiple angles available, cheerleaders receive immediate, detailed feedback, helping them perfect stunts, timing, and synchronization.
Multi-Camera Video with PTZOptics Move 4K & YoloBox
For high-quality multi-camera recording and live streaming, we connected three PTZOptics Move 4K cameras to a YoloBox via NDI. This setup allows for a flexible, portable, and professional-grade streaming and recording solution, perfect for capturing tournaments, showcases, and team practices. The YoloBox provides real-time switching and recording, giving the team the ability to review and analyze performances with crystal-clear video quality.
Auto-Tracking for Precision Performance Review
One of the standout features of the PTZOptics Move 4K cameras is auto-tracking. This allows coaches to automatically follow athletes as they move across the floor, ensuring that every movement is captured without the need for a dedicated camera operator. Auto-tracking is especially useful for fast-paced routines where precision and timing are critical. Whether it’s following a tumbling pass, tracking a group stunt, or zooming in on formations, the cameras intelligently adjust to keep the focus where it matters most.
SuperJoy: The Ultimate PTZ Camera Controller for Sports Video
A SuperJoy joystick was used to manually control the PTZ cameras and ensure the best possible framing and angles. With smooth pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities, the SuperJoy gave operators the ability to seamlessly follow the action, zoom in for detailed close-ups, and switch between different cameras effortlessly. This level of control is ideal for capturing high-energy performances and provides coaches and athletes with clear, professional-grade footage for training and review.
Bringing Pro Sports Video to Cheerleading
Cheerleading requires split-second precision, perfect synchronization, and high-level athleticism. By integrating PTZOptics cameras, SuperJoy control, and instant replay systems, teams like the Phoenix All Stars are revolutionizing their training methods and setting new standards for athlete development. Whether they are preparing for competitions, perfecting stunts, or refining choreography, sports video technology is helping them reach new heights.
If your cheerleading team, dance program, or athletic organization is looking to enhance training with multi-camera live streaming, instant replay, and automated tracking, PTZOptics has the tools to take your program to the next level.
