When setting up the EDGE Replay with your 2 Point Wireless Network, it is recommended to set up in this sequence:

1. Set up Endzone equipment (if possible don't raise your tower yet and have an assistant wait by the equipment). 
   1. If setting up by yourself you may raise the endzone tower before the initial test.
2. Set up Pressbox equipment and test the system at this location.
3. Once it is confirmed everything is working have your assistant raise the endzone tower if this is an option.

This method avoids most errors and reduces the amount of walking across the field.

2 Point Wireless Network Setup

Endzone Equipment Setup

Equipment Overview - Endzone Kit:

1.) POE Injector 2.) EDGE Box 3.) Network Battery

4.) Endzone Bridge Antenna 5.) Endzone Camera System (separate product)

Endzone Replay Setup:

Step 1: Connect the EDGE Box to the Endzone Battery.

Use the provided USB cable to connect the orange EDGE box from the power port to the USB port on the battery.

 

Step 2: Connect the Endzone Battery to the white POE Injector.

 

Step 3: Plug Bridge Antenna and EDGE Box into the POE Injector

Connect the black Ethernet cable from the Endzone Bridge antenna into the POE Injector on the port labeled "Antenna" (black sticker).

If it is not already connected, make sure the short, blue ethernet cord is connected from the EDGE box to the other port on the POE injector (blue sticker). See photos below for reference:

 

Step 4: Connect the HDMI cable from your Endzone Camera into the EDGE Box

Locate the bottom HDMI end from the cable that is running down your Endzone Tower from the camera on top. Connect this HDMI connector into the "CONNECT CAMERA" port on the orange EDGE box.

 

Step 5: Connect an HDMI Cable from the EDGE Box to your Endzone Camera Monitor

Use a standard HDMI cable to connect from the HDMI Out port labeled "CONNECT MONITOR" on the orange EDGE box to the HDMI port on your Endzone Camera monitor screen.

• The EDGE Box functions as a pass-through so that you can deliver the video feed to the replay system and see what the camera sees from the top of the tower on your Endzone Camera monitor screen.

 

Step 6: Attach the Bridge Antenna to the Tower

Make sure to angle the Bridge Antenna directly toward the Pressbox Bridge antenna.

 

Step 7: Switch on the battery to power the POE Injector and Bridge Antenna

On your Endzone Battery there is a toggle switch to turn on the AC outlet port. Switch this into the "ON" position to give power to your antenna. See the picture below:

Tap the Power button one time to ensure the USB port is outputting power to the EDGE Box:

The antenna will not link until the Pressbox equipment has been set up.

• Pay attention to the lights on the side of the Bridge antenna.
• Once it is fully powered and has connected to the Pressbox Bridge antenna, you will see a total of 6 lights.
  • 1 solid power light
  • 1 flashing light for Main
  • 4 solid lights to show the signal strength of the link (unavailable until Pressbox bridge is connected)

Pressbox Equipment Setup

Equipment Overview - Pressbox Kit:

1.) Extension Cable/Power Strip 2.) Pressbox Router 3.) Pressbox Switch 4.) EDGE Box(es) Power Cord(s) 5.) EDGE Box(es) Ethernet Cable(s) 6.) EDGE Box(es)

7.) Router & Switch Power Supplies 8.) Pressbox iPad Antenna 9.) Pressbox Bridge Antenna 10.) HDMI Cable 11.) Pressbox Bridge Antenna Tripod (not pictured)

Step 1: Power up the Pressbox Kit

Simply plug the extension cord of the provided power strip into an AC outlet inside the pressbox.

 

Step 2: Attach the Pressbox Bridge to the Tripod or another Object and Position OUTSIDE the Pressbox as much as possible

Using the mounting clamp, attach the Pressbox Bridge Antenna to the tripod as shown below or to some object on the outside of the pressbox, for example a pole or window edge. The antenna will be pointed downward directly at the Endzone Bridge.

• You may also clamp the antenna to another object outside of the pressbox - you are not required to use the tripod.

Angle this antenna directly toward your Endzone Bridge. 

• MAKE SURE THE BRIDGE HAS A CLEAR SHOT OF THE ENDZONE BRIDGE AND IS FREE OF OBSTRUCTIONS.
  • The antenna cannot be behind glass or in a narrow space. Nearby structures, glass, metal, or unrelated electronic equipment may cause interference. Place away from all of the above so that it has an open line of sight with the Bridge on the field.

 

Step 3: Set the Pressbox iPad Antenna on Window INSIDE OF ROOM with iPads

Take the iPad antenna and use the suction cup on the back to stick it to a window in the press box and position towards the coaches inside. The "rabbit ears" ideally should each be at a 45-degree angle.

Important: All iPads connected to the Pressbox network - INCLUDING THE CONTROL IPAD - will need to be within 15 Feet of the iPad antenna. Any further and you will have issues with lag and latency.

 

Step 4: Connect Both Antennas to the Pressbox Router & Switch

Connect the black Ethernet cable from the Pressbox iPad Antenna (with ears) to the blue colored sticker port on the router labeled "iPad Antenna".

Connect the black Ethernet cable from the round Pressbox Bridge antenna to one of the black colored sticker ports on the Switch labeled "Bridge." It does not matter which port you choose. One will remain open and empty. This is ok.

• (The open port may be used for later developments if the High School association in Texas decides to allow sideline replay in the future).

See the photo below for what it should look like when you're done:

The Bridge antenna should now be able to link with the Endzone Bridge on the field.

• Pay attention to the lights on the side of the Bridge antenna.
• Once it is fully powered and has connected to the Pressbox Bridge antenna, you will see a total of 6 lights.
  • 1 solid power light
  • 1 flashing light for Main
  • 4 solid lights to show the signal strength of the link

 

Step 5: Setup your Pressbox Sony Camera

First, make sure that your Sony camera HDMI resolution setting is on "Auto" or "720p" and that Power Save is OFF.

 

Step 6: Mounting and Powering your Camera

Mount your Camera to your tripod:

If you have a Sony Camera with an internal battery (for example the Sony HDR-CX405), use the provided power cable and wall plug to keep the camera running for the entire duration of the game.

• Important! Not all wall adapter plugs will work. For guaranteed results use the provided Sony brand USB wall plug

 

Step 7: Setup the EDGE Replay boxes

If it is not done already, connect the power cables for your "Wide" and "Tight" angle EDGE Replay boxes from the power strip in the hardcase kit to the power port in the orange EDGE boxes:

Next, connect the HDMI cables from the HDMI Out ports of your Wide and Tight Cameras to the "CONNECT CAMERA" HDMI In ports of BOTH orange EDGE boxes:

Confirm that (1) both orange Ethernet cables connected to the EDGE boxes are plugged into the white Pressbox Router on the left side of your case, and that (2) there is another yellow ethernet cable linked from the White Router to the Black Switch:

 

Step 8: Verify

Next connect your master Control iPad to the Sport Scope PressBox wifi:

1. Go to the iPad Settings > Wi-Fi > Select SportScopePressBox_S*****
2. Input your password, which is located on the black Switch
   • 
3. Verify you are connected to the wifi. You should see a blue checkmark and a message that says No Internet Connection. THIS IS CORRECT AND NORMAL.
   • 
4. Then open the Sport Scope App > Select the 3 horizontal line Menu icon in the top left > and then select Cameras. You should see Endzone - Ready, Pressbox Tight - Ready, and Pressbox Wide- Ready on the screen as shown below. This means all 3 cameras and EDGE boxes are functioning correctly with each other and on the network.

NOTE: The Cameras page is the best place to start after setting up your equipment each time to verify that the system is working.

Next we will create a test game to temporarily test the EDGE Replay system to make sure everything is working:

• If you do not know how to create a new game yet, go to: How To Create and Start a Game.

Once the game is created:

1. If the controls panel is collapsed, tap the arrow to un-collapse it:
   • 
2. Verify you see both endzone and pressbox Ready statuses on the screen with one of the angles in the top left corner.
   • YOU WILL NOT SEE LIVE VIDEO FOR BOTH CAMERA ANGLES. THIS IS BY DESIGN AND CORRECT.
3. Record a few test clips using the red record button.
   • Tap the thumbnail of the clip you recorded at the bottom of the screen and if you have two angles make sure you can watch the replay for both angles. 

Assuming everything is working, you may create another new Game if desired and record all future clips here.

Don't forget to raise your Endzone Camera Tower!

 

Congratulations, the setup is now complete!
