The multi-camera live-streaming method and devices are designed to enhance the viewing experience of sporting events by using multiple cameras positioned at various locations. These cameras are wirelessly connected to a remote server, capturing live motion video images of the event, players, and sports equipment. A synchronization processor analyzes these images in real-time, creating synchronized data. The system includes a camera tracking sensor to monitor player movements and interactions with equipment, while an analytics processor calculates speed, distance, and projected paths. This information is displayed on a user’s device in real-time.
Youth sports represent a significant untapped market for original content. Parents and coaches often seek video footage of games, but single cameras do not provide an optimal experience. Multi-camera setups can emulate professional sports broadcasts, offering a comprehensive view of the action. This system caters to the demand for high-quality sports video content by integrating multiple camera feeds into a cohesive live-streaming platform.
The described system can be configured to include both ground-level and drone-mounted cameras for capturing varied perspectives. Referred to as "VIDGO," the system uses an electronic application to manage video recording and streaming. Cameras equipped with the VIDGO app transmit footage via cellular networks to a central server, where it is processed and made available for live streaming on digital devices. Users can view multiple camera feeds simultaneously or focus on a single view, with additional features like slow-motion replays and half-time interviews.
The system incorporates retail and training advertising within the live-streaming broadcasts. Targeted ads are inserted into the stream, reaching youth athletes and their families with relevant promotions. Advertisements can range from food services to sports equipment, enhancing viewer engagement through interactive elements like touch screen purchasing. This feature allows viewers to make purchases directly from their devices during the broadcast.
The platform generates revenue through streaming ad sales, clicks, and purchases. Agreements with advertisers may include contributions to local high schools featured in broadcasts, supporting their sports programs financially. The multi-camera live-streaming processing involves capturing comprehensive views of the sporting event, with each camera feed contributing to a dynamic viewing experience. The VIDGO network processes these feeds, ensuring seamless delivery to subscribers.
