The Rise of Multi-Camera Video: From Sports to Webinars & Worship (March ’25 Newsletter)

Hey StreamGeeks,

Has anyone noticed—multi-camera video production is becoming more popular?

Everywhere we turn, we hear about multi-camera video systems being used in sports, education, corporate webinars, and worship production. From student-run broadcasts at local high schools to instant replay systems for hockey and baseball, it’s clear that organizations of all sizes are upgrading to multi-angle video configurations.

📣 The Multi-Cam Boom: What’s Driving It?

✅ Better Training & Review – Sports teams and coaches are embracing multi-angle instant replay to break down every movement. Cheer and dance teams, like the Phoenix All Stars, are using video to fine-tune routines and enhance performance.
✅ Higher Production Value – Whether it’s a medical webinar, a corporate presentation, or a student-run livestream, a 3-camera setup brings more dynamic storytelling and professional polish.
✅ Worship & Community Events – With Worship Summit next week, we’re preparing for a full day of training on how houses of worship can enhance their productions with multi-camera streaming.

🏒 Multi-Cam Video Review in Action: SkyCoach + PTZOptics

This month, we put a 3-camera instant replay system to the test with SkyCoach for hockey. Sideline instant replay is changing the game by helping teams analyze plays in real-time. Whether you’re a sports coach or a broadcaster, multi-angle video review is becoming an essential tool.

Preparing Your Org for Growth: PTZOptics Hive

WIth so much growth in multi-camera video systems, how will larger organization manage all of these mini-systems? The ability to manage multiple studios remotely and effectively create a master control room… this is something we get asked about a lot. PTZOptics Hive will be officially released in an open BETA at this years NAB Show. PTZOptics Hive connects your studios into a single web-based interface, you can use to jump into any studio you need to remotely manage. This opens the doors for remote camera operators, studio Management, color correction, and much more.

When we are talking sports, I highly recommend a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio between PTZ cameras and PTZ camera operators. So many of our customers purchase 3 or more cameras with only one joystick… I get it, the joystick can control multiple cameras, but it can only effectively control one at a time. For more demanding productions, our customers are finding that adding camera operators is the solution to improve the production quality. With PTZOptics Hive, you can easily add camera operators to any production, without having to hire a full-time crew or pay for travel.

🌍 ISE 2025: The Convergence of Broadcast & AV

We just got back from ISE in Europe, and one massive trend stood out—the convergence of Broadcast and AV. PTZ cameras are becoming the backbone of AV integration, and professionals are seeking ways to bridge traditional video production with modern streaming solutions.

🎬 PTZOptics Producer Bundles: The Go-To Setup

It’s no surprise that the PTZOptics Producer Bundles (3 cameras + a joystick controller) are getting lots of attention. We’re seeing them deployed for sports, education, corporate, and worship video setups. These systems are an easy, scalable way to produce broadcast-quality video with minimal crew.
