USE CASE — SPORTS LIVE PRODUCTION

Fast multicam sports production for small crews

PMIX gives sports stream teams a production-first workflow with preview/program switching, camera control, overlays, scenes, wireless iPhone cameras, and streaming from one app.

More use cases Read the Docs

Sports production is fast, messy, and unforgiving. PMIX is built to make that feel manageable for lean crews that still want proper switching, overlays, camera control, and a cleaner show workflow.

Sports crews do not have time for fragile workflows

You need to:

  • switch angles quickly
  • keep the program feed clean
  • manage overlays and branding
  • work with a small crew or even solo
  • stay live under pressure

What PMIX gives sports operators

Fast shot selection

Use a proper preview/program workflow so you are not taking shots blind.

Flexible camera positions

Bring in wireless iPhone cameras, NDI sources, and supported camera workflows without turning setup into a full broadcast truck problem.

PTZ presets and control

Recall common field, bench, or wide shots faster.

Overlays and timers

Run score-style graphics, branding, countdowns, and sponsor-friendly overlays.

Scenes for repeatable shows

Build recurring layouts for halftime, interviews, intros, and side-by-side views.

Stream and record together

Go live and keep a local recording for highlights or archive.

PMIX is a strong fit for

  • school sports streams
  • clubs and local leagues
  • small sports media crews
  • solo or two-person operators
  • fieldside streaming setups
  • events where mobility matters more than a full traditional control room
