Automated Production: Minimal Setup, Maximum Impact

Ideal for schools seeking a hands-off, high-quality solution. We utilize AI-powered Pixellot cameras that automatically track the action and capture the full game, eliminating the need for a dedicated production crew. It’s plug-and-play broadcasting—unlike other networks, we install and maintain the cameras on your behalf.

Best for:

• Schools new to broadcasting
• Limited staff or student involvement
• Consistent, reliable coverage of games

Manual Production: Full Creative Control

If your school has an established media or broadcasting program, manual production gives your students hands-on experience with camera work, commentary, graphics, and more. Our platform supports multi-camera setups, replay, and a full suite of production tools.

Best for:

• Schools with established AV/media programs
• Students interested in broadcasting careers
• Telling deeper stories through high-quality production

Hybrid Approach: Grow at Your Own Pace

Not sure where to start—or where you’ll end up? Combine the best of both worlds. Use automated cameras for coverage consistency and layer in manual production for special events, rivalry games, or playoff runs. This approach grows with your program and allows students to level up their skills over time.

Best for:

• Programs ready to expand gradually
• Schools interested in creating marquee broadcasts
• Balancing staff time with student involvement
