Video Walkthrough

When setting up the EDGE Replay with your 3 Point Wireless Network, it is strongly recommended to set up in this sequence:

1. Set all Pressbox equipment up first
2. Set up all Endzone equipment but DON'T raise the tower yet
3. Set up all Sideline equipment and temporarily test the system at this location
4. Once it is confirmed everything is working raise the endzone tower
5. 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.

3 Point Wireless Network Setup

Pressbox Equipment Setup

Equipment Overview - Pressbox Kit:

1.) Extension Cable/Power Strip 2.) Router Power Supply 3.) EDGE Box Power Cord 4.) Pressbox Router 5.) EDGE Box Ethernet Cable

6.) EDGE Box 7.) Pressbox iPad Antenna 8.) Pressbox Bridge Antenna 9.) Camcorder + Tripod (not typically provided) 10.) 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 in between where the Endzone and Sideline Bridges will be.

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

Angle this antenna in between where the Endzone and Sideline kits will be set up. The sideline kit should be set up on the 25 Yard Line of YOUR sideline for the game.

• MAKE SURE THE BRIDGE HAS A CLEAR SHOT OF WHERE THE OTHER BRIDGES WILL BE SET UP 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 Bridges 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

Connect the black Ethernet cables from BOTH antennas into the pressbox router, into the ports labeled "Antenna" with the black dots. They are interchangeable, so you can plug either antenna into those ports. See the photo below for what it should look like when you're done:

 

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 box

If it is not done already, connect the power cable for your EDGE Replay box from the power strip in the hardcase kit to the power port in the orange EDGE box:

Next, connect the HDMI cable from the HDMI Out port of your Camera to the "CONNECT CAMERA" HDMI In port of the orange EDGE box:

If it is not already connected, connect the blue Ethernet cable from the EDGE Box to the Pressbox Router port labeled "Smart Camera/EDGE Box" with the blue sticker.

 

Step 8: Verify the Pressbox Camera Angle is Working

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
   • 
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 Pressbox - Ready on the screen as shown below. This means the camera and EDGE box 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.

WE RECOMMEND NO MORE THAN 7 IPADS IN TOTAL ON THE SYSTEM BETWEEN THE PRESSBOX NETWORK AND SIDELINE, WITH A MAXIMUM OF 3 ON THE SIDELINE. PLAN YOUR IPAD ARRANGEMENT ACCORDINGLY

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:

It will take about 2 minutes for the antenna to power up completely and link.

• 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

RECOMMENDED: DON'T RAISE YOUR ENDZONE CAMERA TOWER YET!

Sideline Equipment Setup

Equipment Overview - Sideline Kit:

1.) Sideline Switch 2.) Switch Power Supply 3.) Sideline Bridge Antenna 4.) Network Battery

5-6.) Sideline iPad Antenna + Separate Booster (if applicable) 7.) Antenna Tripod

Pictured above is your Sideline Kit. This is the kit that the coaches on the sideline will connect to. Systems purchased in 2025 or later will most likely have the iPad Antenna below in place of 5 and 6 pictured above:

Step 1: Set the Sideline Kit between the 20-25yd line on the side of your Endzone Camera

 

Step 2: Attach the Antennas to their tripod

Using the provided mounts and 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 3: 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:

(3) Make sure that the short yellow "POE Data Link" ethernet cord is connected from the yellow Switch Link port on the POE injector to the yellow POE Link port on the Switch:

Then ensure that both the Switch and POE injector power cords are connected to the Y-splitter Power adapter and that the adapter is plugged into the AC port of the battery:

 

Step 4: Turn on the sideline Battery

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

 

Step 5: Angle the Antennas

The Sideline Bridge Antenna needs to be aimed directly at the Pressbox Bridge Antenna. The iPad antenna and/or Booster antenna needs to be facing down the sideline away from your Endzone tower.

Again it will take a few minutes for the antennas to boot. The Sideline Bridge should eventually show all 6 lights just like the Endzone. The Sideline iPad Antenna will generate a SportScopeSideline Wi-Fi network that any iPad on the sideline can join.

• The password is the same as the pressbox and is also in the same location in the Sideline hardcase kit

WE RECOMMEND NO MORE THAN 3 IPADS FOR WATCHING REPLAYS ON THE SIDELINE

 

Step 6: Verify

Once this is complete, connect your iPad to the Sport Scope Sideline network. Just like before, 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:

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, the best practice is to turn off the Wifi from the iPad settings and now head back to the Endzone to raise the tower.

Don't forget to raise your Endzone Camera Tower!

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 again to finally control the system for your game. You may create another new Game.

Congratulations, the setup is now complete!
