When setting up the EDGE Replay with your 3 Point Wireless Network, it is strongly recommended to set up in this sequence:
- Set all Pressbox equipment up first
- Set up all Endzone equipment but DON'T raise the tower yet
- Set up all Sideline equipment and temporarily test the system at this location
- Once it is confirmed everything is working raise the endzone tower
- Lastly bring the iPad back up to the pressbox where you will connect to the Pressbox wifi and control the system from this location.
This method avoids most errors and reduces the amount of walking across the field.
Pressbox Equipment Setup
Step 1: Power up the Pressbox Kit and connect Pressbox Bridge antenna
MAKE SURE THE BRIDGE HAS A CLEAR SHOT OF WHERE THE OTHER BRIDGES WILL BE SET UP FREE OF OBSTRUCTIONS.
Step 2: 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.
The antennas and optional EDGE box should be connected to the Press Box Kit router like this:
Step 3: Setup your Pressbox Sony Camera
Connect the HDMI cable from your pressbox camera to the Connect Camera port of the EDGE box:
Make sure that your camera HDMI resolution setting is on "Auto" if it's a Sony camera, or "720p" and that Power Save is OFF.
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 - "Connect Camera"
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.
Step 6: Attach the Bridge Antenna to the Tower
Make sure to angle the Bridge Antenna directly toward the Pressbox Bridge antenna.
Turn on the battery:
Tap the Power button one time to ensure the USB port is outputting power to the EDGE Box:
Sideline Equipment Setup
Step 1: Set up on 20-25 YL and Attach the Antennas to their tripod
Using the provided clamp mounts and/or velcro or zip tie, attach your antennas to your tripod as shown below:
Prior to 2025, you will have a 2-part iPad antenna with rectangular Booster panel in addition to the round Bridge:
Note: You will need to connect the booster panel to the iPad antenna. Simply screw the 2 cables on the base of the booster panel onto the threaded tips of the iPad antenna
Step 2: Connect the antennas to the router and POE injector
(1) Connect the round Sideline Bridge antenna directly into the Switch in the black labeled port: Bridge Antenna (2) The iPad Antenna must plug into the POE injector in the black labeled port: iPad Antenna. As shown below:
If you have the 2-Part iPad Antenna with Booster Panel simply connect the black Ethernet cables from both antennas into the sideline router, into the ports labeled "Antenna."
Turn on the battery:
Make sure to angle the Bridge Antenna directly toward the Pressbox Bridge antenna and the iPad Antenna booster panel should be angled towards the sideline where the coaches' iPads will be roaming:
Step 3: Verify
Once this is complete, connect your iPad to the Sport Scope Sideline network. Open the menu on the left and tap on Cameras to check the status of the cameras. Verify that you can see both the Pressbox and Endzone camera:
Next we will create a test game to temporarily test the EDGE Replay system on the field 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:
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
Return to Pressbox to Control the System with the Master iPad
Once complete, walk back up to the pressbox and connect to the SportScopePressbox Wi-Fi to finally control the system for your game. You may create another new Game.
- All Coach Replay viewing iPads will connect to their respective Wi-Fi signal depending on where the iPad is located and then go the Game that the control iPad has created in order to view the instant replay play clips.
Congratulations, the setup is now complete!
