We have recently been looking into new way sto setup streaming production equipment. You would have seen our blog on Remote Production. PTZoptics have sent us some information we would like to share with you.
We have now two options to allow you to stream direct from a camera. One is to push the stream out and pick up with Vmix or OBS. The other simpler method is to use our Analysis/Scorboard package to add content to the video stream. Our new mechanism is currently being developed further, should you wish any further information then please get in touch.
Looking to stream at a location where space is limited or you have limited user resources. This blog is intended to show the equipment needed to run a live stream. There are quite a few suitable cameras for this task, this Zowietek one is ideal as it has 20x Zoom, easy to control and produces a 1080p output.
In October 2023 we ran 10 streams through Youtube for the European Amputee Football Association. Do you want to use Youtube as main stream as well as a backup option ?
I have been interested in looking at additional cameras for Live Streaming. The main fetaure is to add extra angles to the main camera. I`d also like to see if there is a small portable PTZ camera that can be used in locations where space is a premium or where resources are not available. Surprisingly it can be diifcult in some grounds to be given space to stream.
The following information shows when streaming is allowed on a Saturday afternoon, for Season 2024-2025. UPDATED to confirm 3rd May has been added as an allowed date. NOTE: As of Friday 8th August 2025 the UEFA website has NOT been updated with dates for 2025-2026. As they have to give 14 days prior notice before the start of the season, we are assuming there is no block on a Saturday for Season 2025-2026. The regulations clearly state that it must be decided prior to 14 days before the start of the season, as of today the the season starts Tonight, and there is still no word of any block-dates. The clubs have not yet been given any information regarding a block-period (as of Thursday 31st August 2025): Regulation from Article 48 2. The two and a half hours period (or periods) must be decided on by the member association fourteen days, at the latest, before the beginning of its domestic season, at which time they will enter into force and apply for the whole season.

You do not need the video showing as you can use this at a live match or watch on another monitor. However, you could record the stats afterwards while watching the live replay. Live stats can be monitored by the Management Team.

It`s just `Typical Scotland`, isn`t it?!
