The Sport Scope app allows coaches to wirelessly control their endzone camera and/or EDGE Replay with an iPad. For EDGE Replay Customers: EDGE Replay is a sideline instant replay system that allows coaches to review all recorded plays from their endzone and/or press box cameras on their iPads in seconds. Coaching staff on the sideline and in the press box can review each recorded play right after it is filmed with up to 10 viewing iPads as a time. The ability to coach players, make adjustments, and evaluate opponents in real time instantly creates a competitive advantage (EDGE Replay Equipment Required). For Wireless Endzone Customers: Use the on-screen controls to pan/tilt/zoom and record with your endzone camera from several hundred feet away. With fully customizable controls, filming with an endzone camera has never been easier (Wireless Pan/Tilt Head Required). For Smart Camera Customers: The Smart Endzone Camera uses the most advanced technology in the industry. Film the game wirelessly from your iPad by using the virtual, on-screen joysticks to pan, tilt, and zoom from anywhere in the stadium. And with EDGE Replay built-in, each video clip is downloaded to all connected iPads and ready for replay in seconds.
