Cross-checking every play: Multi-angle capture for ice hockey

You can’t rely on your best player to perform every role. Achieving success on the ice requires quality in every position — and the same rule applies to video analysis. Even with Spiideo’s industry-leading capture solution, a single camera cannot record every action single-handedly. To ensure no opportunity for analysis is missed, you need a team of cameras covering every inch of the rink.

If you only have one camera, where do you place it for optimal coverage? A view from the red line would provide a clear picture of every player’s horizontal spacing. But you can’t judge a player’s positioning or the time and space available without seeing their vertical positioning relative to other players on the ice. To really gain an advantage, you need additional cameras on the goal line and above the rink.

With multiple cameras, if the view is blocked, you can switch to another without so much as hitting pause. Traditionally, multi-angle viewing required opening and syncing multiple video files. However, with Spiideo Perform, Spiideo’s pro-grade video analysis platform for teams at every level, every angle is seamlessly stitched together into a single video file, allowing coaches and analysts to cross-check plays at breakneck speeds and with crystal clear clarity.
