Schools & campuses
Assemblies, games,
graduations — live.
Parents can't always be in the room, so the school streams — but a single teacher or a rotating AV club can't switch a multi-camera show while running audio and the stream. Graduations and championship games happen once; the archive has to be clean the first time.
The problem
The gym, the auditorium, the field — and one AV teacher.
DeckCam is simple enough that a student can run it. Every angle is a saved preset on one screen — the podium, the stage, the far court, the finish line. Tap the next shot into PREVIEW, cut it live, and stream to the school's YouTube or Facebook so families anywhere can watch.
Record the program and every camera in ISO for the yearbook team, coaches' film review, or the drama department's archive. Layouts let you put a scoreboard or a slide next to the action, and AI auto-follow keeps a speaker or player framed automatically.
What you'll use
The production tools that matter here.
Preset shots
Podium, stage, far court, field — saved once, recalled with a tap by any student.
Preview / Live
Rehearse the switch in PREVIEW, then cut clean. Good training and a safe live show.
Layouts
Picture-in-picture a scoreboard, a slide or a second angle beside the main shot.
Stream anywhere
Send it to the school's YouTube or Facebook channel for families at home.
Record everything
ISO-record every camera for yearbook, film review and the school archive.
AI auto-follow
Track the speaker at the podium or a player on the court without a camera operator.
Typical setup
One kit, every space
PTZ cameras in the gym, auditorium and on the field feed a venue PC; the operator works from any browser — a Chromebook, the booth PC or an iPad. Move the rig or run fixed cameras in each space.
- Wide of the stage or full court
- Podium / lectern for speakers
- Tight on the action or the performers
- Reaction shot — audience, bench, family section
- Scoreboard or slide feed for picture-in-picture

Questions, answered
Can students actually operate it?
Yes. The workflow is three moves — see every shot, tap what's next, cut. It's a genuine broadcast-club tool that a student can learn in a single session.
Can we cover multiple spaces — gym, auditorium, field?
Yes. Set up presets per space; because you pay per venue and not per camera, you can equip more than one room without multiplying the cost.
Can families watch from home?
Stream to the school's YouTube or Facebook channel — or any RTMP platform — so parents and relatives anywhere can watch live.
Can we keep a recording for the archive?
Yes. Record the full program on every plan, and ISO-record each camera on Producer for yearbook, coaches and re-edits.
Does it work for sports and esports too?
Yes — AI auto-follow and quick preset recall suit fast-moving games, and layouts let you add a scoreboard or gameplay feed.
