Bringing the Sideline to Life: How West Chester University used SkyCoach, PTZOptics for replay, live production

At SkyCoach, we believe that great coaching decisions start with great video — and we’re proud to help schools like West Chester University (WCU) take their game to the next level with instant, wireless sideline replay solutions. This offseason, we showed WCU how powerful a modern sports video system can be when you combine live streaming for fans with instant replay for coaches and referees — all seamlessly integrated on a single platform.

One Video System, Two Winning Outcomes

At WCU, the goal was clear:

● Deliver a professional-quality live stream for fans, parents, alumni, and students.

● Give coaches and officials real-time video access on the sidelines to improve in-game decisions and strategy.

Traditionally, these would have been two separate systems — but thanks to the integration between SkyCoach and PTZOptics camera technology, they now work together in one efficient workflow.

Here’s what WCU deployed this spring:

● PTZOptics Move SE cameras to capture multiple angles of gameplay — including a wireless end-zone camera giving coaches a full-field view.

● YoloLive YoloBox for encoding and live streaming to fans.

● SkyCoach RCK units connected to three camera feeds via HDMI — capturing footage and wirelessly delivering instant replay to iPads on the sidelines.

● PTZOptics Hive for remote control and management of all cameras from the press box, without needing operators at each field position.

The result: Every camera feed helps both the fans in the stands and the coaches on the field — maximizing the value of every shot.

Instant Replay, Wireless and Reliable

SkyCoach’s instant replay platform is key to success on the sidelines. Coaches and referees received real-time video over a dedicated wireless network — no cables running across the field, no buffering, no complicated setups.

From the SkyCoach iPad app, coaches could:

● Review plays seconds after they happened.

● Make adjustments mid-game based on visual evidence.

● Keep players engaged with fast, visual feedback.

Referees could review key moments with greater confidence — helping maintain game flow and fairness. When every second counts, SkyCoach makes sure every angle is covered.

Built for Coaches, Built for Champions

What’s happening at WCU is just the beginning. More and more athletic departments are realizing that live video isn’t just for the fans — it’s a competitive advantage for the teams too.

By combining SkyCoach’s instant replay expertise with PTZOptics’ high-quality, remotely managed camera systems, WCU has created a model that schools of all sizes can follow:

● Simple to set up.

● Wireless and reliable.

● Game-tested and coach-proven.

And when local football legend Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles stopped and saw the system in action, it was clear: the future of sports video is here — and it’s already changing the game.
