NEW: AI SCOREBOARD READER Point a camera at the venue scoreboard and Apollo Streams can automatically read game information and keep your broadcast scoreboard updated.

RECORD SPORTS AND CAPTURE HIGHLIGHTS Record full games and capture important moments as they happen. • Full-game recording • One-tap highlight creation • Slow-motion instant replays • Save and share important plays Instead of searching through hours of footage after the game, capture the moments you care about while they happen. MULTI-CAMERA PRODUCTION Wirelessly connect multiple iPhones and switch between camera angles during your broadcast. Show the action from different perspectives, change cameras with a tap, capture replays, and create a sports broadcast that feels more like a professional production than a traditional phone recording.
