JVC GY-HM660SC ProHD Sports Coaching Camera With 23x Fujinon Auto Focus Zoom Lens

The JVCGY-HM660SC ProHD Sports Coaching Camera is designed to interface seamlessly with XOS Thunder HD and DVSport, the industry's premier on-site video editing platforms used throughout professional and amateur sports. The integrated combination of JVC, XOS, and DVSport technologies enables sports organizations to add gameplay metadata with recordings from various camera angles—all synchronized with a single UTC time signal thus significantly reducing the time uploading practice and game footage. XOS Digital and DVSport are the leading providers of digital coaching technology. Used by hundreds of professional and college sports teams, these systems are the most sophisticated available, with the ability to include positional tracking and biometric data for every athlete.

XOS Digital and DVSport Software
Moreover, most video applications do not require the actual time of day, but it is essential data for the metrics used in player tracking and biometrics recording systems. With its built-in GPS capability, the new JVC GY-HM660SC ProHD camera retrieves coordinated universal time (UTC) via satellite and embeds a real-time reference within the video metadata, which synchronizes multiple cameras and biometric data collected by player tracking devices. As a result, the system allows a coach to instantly find a portion of video associated with any specific biometric or positional data point.

Mobile GUI
In addition to the ability to include UTC time-stamp data within its recording, the GY-HM660SC may include specific metadata related to the type of play (offense, defense, kickoff, etc.) via an intuitive mobile GUI. The metadata is then interpreted by the XOS Thunder or DVSport platform, allowing the system to automatically categorize and separate plays into appropriate folders, saving hours of post-recording cutting and tagging from the traditional coach workflow.

Built-In Streaming Tools
To avoid time-consuming uploads, coaches send footage directly to the analytics platform as a stream or FTP upload after each play via 4G LTE connection or Wi-Fi using the GY-HM660SC's built-in streaming tools. As a result, footage does not have to be uploaded manually, so coaches and players can review footage as soon as the game or practice is complete. Plus, high-quality HD footage is simultaneously recorded to SD cards in the camera for backup or archive purposes.
