Another late night idea somehow turned into a real-world test deployment. 😂
A few weeks ago, I started building and rapid prototyping a new project under the ChaneyAV Creative Labs - LIVE umbrella — a multi-camera live streaming setup for youth baseball.
What started as “this would be cool to try” quickly turned into late nights, cables everywhere, overlays being designed at 1AM, and a full field test during my son’s baseball game this past weekend.
🎬 V1 Test Setup Included:
• 📱 3 iPhones as wireless camera feeds
• 📡 5G wireless gateway for internet + WiFi distribution
• 🎛️ iPad-based live switching/control
• 🎨 Custom overlays, layouts, and graphics
• ⚾ Live stream integration into GameChanger
Overall… the first live test actually went surprisingly well.
That said — in true rapid prototype fashion — I forgot to enable Do Not Disturb on one of the phones, and a phone call from my daughter completely nuked one of the camera feeds mid-stream. 😂
But honestly, that’s part of the fun of building things from scratch. You learn fast in live environments.
So naturally… instead of slowing down, I built V2.
🚀 V2 Upgrades Rolling Out This Week:
• 🎥 4 camera angles instead of 3
• 🔌 Hardwired iPhones for improved stability
• 💻 Laptop-based production control instead of iPad
• 🎨 Fresh overlays, layouts, and graphics
• 📺 Dedicated YouTube stream output
• ⚾ Separate untouched GameChanger stream for cleaner reliability and reduced delay
The next real-world deployment will be during my son’s championship game this week.
If this next version performs the way I think it will, this could evolve into something really cool for local baseball organizations, tournaments, and events — especially with the ability to integrate sponsors directly into overlays and stream graphics.
Still very much in the “let’s see what breaks next” phase… but honestly, that’s usually where the best projects start.
ChaneyAV Creative Labs - LIVE might officially be a thing. 👀
