About the project
Our client, AMF (Asociace malého fotbalu = Soccer Association), oversees a five-a-side football league in the Czech Republic and they aim to bring more attention and popularity to this sport. To achieve this, they needed a solution for easy live streaming of their matches including live commentary, independence from the power socket, and integrated graphics with manual scoring. The wanted feature was planning streams in advance before the match started and managing teams and their information and graphics displayed in the stream.
Technical Solution
We prepared a streaming case that allows AMF to stream from anywhere even without a stable connection. AMF mostly connects Axis P1378 camera standing on a tripod to the suitcase and the whole solution is supported by a 3D printed holder for a phone, which has installed Tiny Cam and is connected through WiFi to the same network as the camera and provides a live view with minimal delay. The 3D model of the phone holder can be downloaded here.
We are covering the whole playing field, which can be achieved through two ways - panoramic and PTZ cameras. The panoramic cameras cover the whole field and the user just switches between the right side, left side, and the whole field by mapping shortcuts on a keyboard. With PTZ cameras, users can set PTZ positions for each side of the field and then manually switch between them during the match.
Live commentary is solved with Rode VideoMic Rycote and BlueTooth headphones. If there are two commentators present, they use RODE Wireless GO II.
The result
We provided the client with a mobile set, which allows streaming from anywhere, and a cloud solution to manage everything from streaming to adding graphics. Thanks to this interface, the client can plan and schedule match streams in advance, easily add overlay graphics during live streams alongside integrating scoring, and stream directly to YouTube without leaving the cloud solution. AMF can also play promo videos, jingles, and interviews during the live stream in half-time thanks to CamSwitcher running in the background. After the match is finished, AMF exports the tags created by the user during the game, exports them into a single video, and uploads it to YouTube as a highlight of the best moments from the match.
