Livestream your games – the iPhone camera system for your club

Parents on night shift, fans abroad, members without a ride: with a livestream the whole club is at the game. With multiple angles like on TV – not a single shaky phone video.

3–5× iPhoneOutdoor via hotspotAutoCutYouTube + Facebook

A broadcast truck is out of the question for a club, and a fixed streaming camera only shows one static wide shot. The middle ground: the team’s iPhones – as a wireless multi-camera system around the field.

A wide shot at the halfway line, a close-up behind the goal, a third iPhone for sideline interviews. You cut live with a tap – or AutoCut follows the action automatically. Lower thirds show the score, goal scorers and interview guests.

How to set up the broadcast

  1. 01

    Choose camera positions

    Elevated wide shot at the halfway line (main iPhone with the Creator app), close-up behind or next to the goal, a third camera roaming for substitutions and interviews. More angles = more TV feeling.

  2. 02

    Connect without any venue network

    In PRO mode up to 2 additional cameras connect directly over the Creator app’s hotspot – no Wi-Fi, no power needed at the field. In STUDIO mode up to 9 cameras join over a Wi-Fi router, with tally lights and intercom.

  3. 03

    Prepare the graphics

    Club logos, lineups and lower thirds for names go into the rundown. Show the score as a lower third and update it at halftime.

  4. 04

    Stream over cellular

    You stream over the main iPhone’s cellular connection – to YouTube and Facebook at the same time (PRO and up). If the network at the field fluctuates, STUDIO mode keeps the stream stable: the LiveShow server buffers the broadcast and bridges dropouts.

  5. 05

    Interviews and away games

    With the free Reporter app a second reporter joins live – from the other end of the pitch or from the second team’s away game, over the internet alone.

What you need

  • 3–5 iPhones: main camera from iPhone 12, additional cameras from iPhone 11 – the team’s own devices are enough
  • Tripods or clamp mounts for fence and boards
  • Power banks – a match incl. pre- and post-game runs a good 2 hours
  • Cellular reception for the upload (about 5 Mbit/s) or the clubhouse Wi-Fi
  • PRO (up to 3 cameras) or STUDIO (up to 9 cameras, iPad control room, buffered server stream)

FAQ

Does it work without Wi-Fi and power at the field?
Yes. In PRO mode the cameras connect over the Creator app’s hotspot, all iPhones run on battery (power banks recommended), and you stream over cellular. Setup takes 10 minutes.
How many cameras can we use?
In PRO mode 3 (your iPhone + 2), in STUDIO mode up to 9 – then a team member cuts on the Director app on an iPad, and every camera has a tally light showing when it’s live.
Does the stream drop when the cellular network fluctuates?
That’s exactly what uninterrupted streaming (STUDIO) is for: the LiveShow server buffers your broadcast with an adjustable delay. Short outages and the typical cellular fluctuations at a sports field are fully bridged – your YouTube stream continues without a gap.
Can we add interviews and a commentator?
Yes. Sideline interviews use one of your cameras; lower thirds show the names. A commentator simply speaks near the main iPhone – or joins remotely via the Reporter app.
What does it cost our club?
PRO with 3 cameras and multistreaming: €29.99/month. STUDIO with up to 9 cameras, iPad control room and the buffered fail-safe stream: €49.99/month. Both cancel anytime with a 3-day free trial – so you can run the subscription only during the season.
