New streaming options available by fall season
The Athletic Department will soon be receiving two free Pixellot HD cameras that will be installed in the Larkin Center and at Murphy Stadium. The cameras are part of a system that will allow subscription or pay-per-view streaming of volleyball, basketball, football, and soccer games and free viewing of school events via the NFHS Network.

The cameras interface with the scoreboard and play clock in the gym and at Gene Sartini Field, and automated tracking means no operator is required. The footage can also be used for game analysis by coaches.

More information on subscriptions, sponsorship opportunities, and pay-per-view streaming will be available before the fall sports season.
