Sports Production Instant Replay & Live Annotations
Sports production just got smarter, faster, and more versatile with the powerful combination of PTZOptics Move 4K cameras and the cutting-edge features of vMix’s instant replay and Telestrator tools. This dynamic setup is perfect for coaches, broadcasters, and sports producers looking to elevate their game with seamless video recording, annotation, and playback options.
PTZOptics Move 4K: Auto-Tracking for Seamless Coverage
The PTZOptics Move 4K cameras bring unmatched convenience to sports production with auto-tracking technology. These cameras can automatically follow players on the field or court, ensuring that the action stays in frame without the need for a dedicated camera operator. This feature allows producers to focus on storytelling and analysis rather than manually adjusting camera angles.
Instant Replay and Telestration: A Game-Changing Combo
Using the vMix instant replay system, sports producers and coaches can record high-quality video, slow it down for detailed analysis, and annotate it for teaching or broadcast purposes. Here’s how it works:
Key Features
- Telestration and Annotations: Add notes, diagrams, and highlights directly on top of the video using a touch screen tablet like an iPad or any computer connected to the Telestrator’s web controller.
- Wireless Controller Integration: The Telestrator’s 10 customizable buttons let users control video playback with ease. Functions like play, pause, rewind, and fast forward are just a tap away, making it an invaluable tool for coaches during video reviews.
- Smooth Slow Motion: When paired with the Move 4K cameras, operating at 60fps, the instant replay system ensures buttery smooth slow-motion playback, ideal for analyzing key moments in the game.
Versatile Control Options
Producers and coaches can choose their preferred control setup:
- Touch Screen Tablets: Perfect for hands-on video annotation and playback control via the web-based interface.
- X-Keys vMix Replay Controller: For a more tactile experience, the X-Keys system includes a jog dial for video scrubbing and a T-Bar for controlling playback speed. This tool bridges the gap between coaching, video review, and professional sports broadcasting.
