Introduction
In this blog we’ll share a customer story from a professional IT Manager with a strong IT background. He is Bill Littler, who created a community named Beaver County Softball Network.
Beaver County Softball Network’s mission is to highlight the talent and passion of girls in softball in Beaver County. It is an area where girls’ sports often don’t receive the same recognition as boys’ sports.
From March to October, they stream 3-4 games each week, showcasing the excitement and community spirit of local youth softball. One of the network’s most popular streams, the BCFPL 10U Championship, drew over 500 total views the first time they used the Yolobox Pro. The community is very grateful for this service, especially families who can’t attend in person. For example, one parent mentioned that the Beaver County Softball Network provides a rare opportunity for older grandparents living out of state to watch their granddaughter play. Additionally, another parent shared how meaningful it was for a military sibling stationed abroad to see his sister in action.
Bill, who runs the network, is known for his deep knowledge of the teams and players, as well as his engaging commentary. As one parent mentioned, ”Bill does a great job learning the teams, and he tells a great story. The camera angles and cool replays are a standout.“ Another fan added, ”You can follow your favorite sports team and see live broadcasts of them in action. Give it a try. I’m sure you will be impressed.“
How to Set Up Softball Games Live Stream with YoloBox
For this setup, Bill uses a GoPro Hero 5 positioned behind the backstop, a Panasonic HC-V180 at 1st base, and second Panasonic HC-V180 in center field zoomed in for the batter’s box view. All these cameras connect via HDMI to the YoloBox Pro, either directly or using an HDMI transmitter. For more details, check out this video showcasing the setup.
What Challenges Did You Encounter Before Turning to YoloBox?
Before switching to YoloBox Pro, Bill struggled with a previous streaming solution that lacked reliable HDMI connectivity. Stability is essential for creating smooth, professional-grade broadcasts. So the addition of YoloBox Pro’s HDMI connections made all the difference. The system allows for seamless, hardwired connections to the cameras, ensuring stable and high-quality streams.
What Do You Enjoy Most About YoloBox Pro？
One of the standout features of YoloBox Pro is its ease of use, even for novice users. Bill sets up and breaks down the entire streaming system in about 30 minutes, which is crucial since he streams games at different fields. Its portability makes it easy for him to transport, allowing the network to bring live broadcasts wherever they go.
Instant replay is another fan favorite, enabling easy creation of highlight videos after each game. The Instant Replay feature not only brings clarity to key moments but also helps the network produce engaging post-game content for the community.
What’s more, the overlays are another crucial feature that adds professionalism to the broadcasts. They fill dead time between innings, showcasing network milestones, announcements, or advertisements. This helps keep viewers engaged and adds to the overall broadcast experience. It also brings an opportunity to sell advertisement space.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Bill’s use of YoloBox Pro has significantly transformed how the Beaver County Softball Network connects its community. By providing reliable, high-quality live streams, families and friends can easily support young athletes from anywhere. Additionally, features like Instant Replay and professional overlays enhance the viewing experience and foster community pride. As the network continues to showcase the talent of girls in softball, YoloBox Pro ensures that everyone can enjoy the action and stay connected. Ultimately, it plays a crucial role in bringing the community together.
