Game Management
Adding a new game just requires that you specify the home and away team plus the time the game was played.
Adding a video to a game is how you upload the video from your camcorder to OnDeck Digital's cloud video players.
Video Management
Choose the video file to upload. This may take hours to upload depending on your internet connection. Keep in mind you are uploading something longer than most HD Movies. Once the blue progress bar is complete click add.
So that was the video platform, but what about the field?
Camera Setup
- Setup the camera to record the game
- Local settings may dictate which your camera arrangement
- Your main concern should be capturing all the action on the field
- You may require power depending on the battery life of the camera
- OnDeck works with many cameras including standard, but if you want HD video you must use an HD Camera
Normal Setting Behind The Backstop
- If its a very short distance from backstop to home plate you'll probably need a wide angle camera (like a GoPro)
- If its a long distance get something with a zoom capability
"Normal" Camera Layout
