    Livestreaming setups?

    Yep! Most every streaming service can take RTMP, which can be streamed from a variety of iOS apps and devices.

    Livestreaming setups?

    @DC Dad, glad to hear it! Here's a sign-up link: sidelineHD.com/doc/beta We do have a bit of a waitlist right now but I would still encourage you to sign up. We sometimes pull teams out of order so we can work with a specific equipment type or geographic region.

    Sell me on a Mevo

    Hi everyone, sorry for being late on this... answer is YES! Our service adds livestreaming scoreboards from GameChanger, iScore, and Pocket Radar feeds. You simply point your camera's livestream feed to sidelineHD and we take care of the rest. This is an example clip. It was 100% live, with...

    Livestreaming setups?

    @Bear @CanOfCorn @bpop88: Here is more information about what I’m building... We generate scoreboards from your existing GameChanger / IScore / Pocket Radar feeds. Just point your RTMP to our server, we take care of the rest. You can read more information here: http://sidelineHD.com/doc/info...

    Is GoPro the best option?

    Hi @Fury_Mike , I'm building sidelineHD, a service that adds virtual scoreboards from a team's GameChanger / iScore / Pocket Radar. @EcoT is one of our fearless beta testers! All a live-streamer needs to do is direct their RTMP feed to our server and push RECORD, we do everything else. Video...

    Pitching Radar Gun

    If you are going with Pocket Radar, consider stepping up to the Ball Coach. It's definitely more expensive, but if someone from your team is live-streaming, services like sidelineHD (my project) can link with your Pocket Radar app to make cool things like this: (this game was streamed live...

    Things To Do While Waiting Out Covid-19

    Our region is under mandatory "shelter-in-place" orders. No gatherings or practices, most businesses closed, schools doing "remote learning", not supposed to visit others, etc. Most of DD's team now practices on their own. To emphasize the social element of team & softball, we tried something...

    Livestreaming setups?

    I get around the 1000 follower limitation because I'm technically re-streaming content to YouTube. My video takes a different path than the one you can access from the Mevo app. A little more detail: @EcoT configured his Mevo+ to stream to my server. My server added overlays + scoreboards...

    Livestreaming setups?

    Gave @EcoT's streams a whirl this weekend. Click to see #10's right hit at the right time: Remote streamed from @EcoT's Mevo, scoreboards automatically generated and added (link to all 6 games). Any streamers have a tournament this weekend? PM me if you want to try adding virtual scoreboards!

    Livestreaming setups?

    @EcoT, challenge accepted! I'll DM you later today.

    Livestreaming setups?

    @EcoT, you are right - it’s a livestream game with virtual scoreboard! It’s a test of a tool I’m building. This used iScore, although I’m technically able to work with both platforms. Some backstory: I’ve played a lot with post-processing softball games to add multi-cam / scoreboard / radar...

    Livestreaming setups?

    Ouch... 84 degree FOV is terrible. Guess it's the MEVO Plus then. Now if Mevo Start can provide picture-in-picture with the Plus... In the "don't do this at home" category, here's this past weekend's streaming setup after I accidentally left my Mevo and mounting bracket at home. Friend's...

    Livestreaming setups?

    What are people using for livestreaming? I see a lot more setups these days. Cameras: @Eric F convinced me to get a Mevo, and I have not been disappointed. Still trying to find a good phone app for when I want to travel light. Is anyone using HERO8? Services: I stream to YouTube, which is...

    Stepping into the video arena

    ^^ What @Josh Greer said. LynkSpyder brackets are solid and stable. For backstop mounting, it's the only one that can hold the camera steady through multiple foul ball fence hits, etc. I can push record and confidently come back in 8h. Small thing, but for LynkSpyder users, this...

    IScore / Gamechanger / Presto Sports?

    What scoring apps do people use? I know a lot of teams use Gamechanger. Saw some good reviews for IScore. And many college teams use Presto. Seems like all have scoring, stats, and a way to share live games. What’s easiest for people to learn? For those that coach, do you find one more...
