By Jamie G
Sports production is a high-stakes, fast-paced environment where every detail matters. From capturing live action to delivering professional instant replays, having the right tools can make all the difference. Enter the new PTZOptics Studio 4K, a powerful and versatile camera designed to meet the demands of live sports production. In this blog post, we’ll explore how the Studio 4K shines in live sports broadcasting, highlight reel creation, and instant replay workflows.
In this video below, Paul Richards of PTZOptics put the Studio 4K to the test at a hockey game. This versatile camera was used to capture 1080p60 footage via NDI, seamlessly integrated with vMix for live streaming, and 4K60 video with an ATOMOS SHOGUN Ultra recorder for ultra-high-quality highlight reels.
“I used the camera as a behind-the-net angle, capturing every thrilling goal and fast-paced play,” says Paul. “Leveraging its 1080p60 NDI output, I integrated the camera with vMix for seamless live streaming.
But that’s not all—the camera’s 4K60 capabilities allowed me to record ultra-high-definition footage using an ATOMOS SHOGUN Ultra recorder. This dual-output workflow is perfect for live production while simultaneously creating high-quality recordings for highlight reels and post-game analysis.”
