The single fixed camera
One camera bolted to the fence misses the play at the other end of the field and never shows the bench or the crowd.
Switcher turns the phones and tablets already on your sideline into a multi-camera broadcast — instant replay, a live scoreboard, and streaming to every platform your program's families actually use.

Athletic director Brandon Riffel describes a student with no prior production experience producing a full 5-camera varsity baseball broadcast — independently, start to finish.

Most programs do not need broadcast-truck production. They need a setup a student or parent volunteer can run every single week without fail.
One camera bolted to the fence misses the play at the other end of the field and never shows the bench or the crowd.
Viewers at home have no idea what's happening without a scoreboard graphic overlaying the stream.
Posting to only one platform means half the program's families never find the link at all.
Mount two or three iPhones or iPads on tripods or fence mounts around the field — sideline wide, end zone, and a bench or reverse angle.
A student, parent volunteer, or coach taps between angles as the game moves. No camera operators needed for a two-camera setup.
Add live score, clock, and team names on screen, plus instant replay to show the big plays again in seconds.
Send the broadcast to Facebook, YouTube, and your program's own site at the same time, so no family misses the game.
Just launched: tap to replay the last 10, 20, or 30 seconds full-screen or picture-in-picture — no extra hardware, no pre-recording. Built for Friday night football, away games, and fast-breaking basketball and volleyball.
Keep the game graphic updated the entire broadcast so viewers always know what's happening.
Stream simultaneously to Facebook, YouTube, and your program's own site — reach every family, not just one app's followers.
Cut highlight clips during the game so parents and players can share them before the final whistle.
Switcher can be run from supported Apple devices, while iOS and Android devices, HDMI cameras, computers, and NDI feeds can supply video sources. This makes the setup practical for teams with a mix of phones, tablets, and hand-me-down gear.
Use iPad Pro (M4 and 11-inch or 12.9-inch, 3rd generation or newer), iPad Air (M2 or Air 3 and newer), standard iPad (7th generation or newer), or iPad mini (5th generation or newer).
Use iPhone XS, XR, or iPhone 11 through the iPhone 17 series. Apple Silicon Macs (M1 or newer) running macOS 15.0 or later can also run the main Switcher app.
iPhones and iPads can serve as wireless camera angles. Modern Android phones and tablets running Android 14 or newer can also join wirelessly through the Switcher Remote Camera app.
Connect DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, video cameras, GoPros, or gaming consoles through HDMI with an Accsoon SeeMo paired to iOS. Macs and Windows PCs can share screens or act as webcams through Switcher Cast or Remote Guest. NDI sources can join over IP.
The game-day option for a team or program that needs a reliable multi-camera broadcast and room to grow.
Set up the route before kickoff. Hand the iPad to a volunteer. Then see what the broadcast feels like from the stands.
