The sidelineHD iOS App has the option to stream and record simultaneously. This feature is currently LIVE.


In challenging bandwidth situations, RECORD is an ideal option to maintain a backup copy of your full stream.


FAQ's - RECORD FEATURE


  1. What resolution is the app recording? Currently, the app is set to record at 1080P.

  2. Will the local copy or recording have the scoreboard? No, it's a clean copy, as if it recorded it with the default iPhone camera app.

  3. Can I upload the recorded copy to sidelineHD for higher-quality highlight clips? Not yet! But we do hope to offer this in the future.

  4. Should I record using H.264 or HEVC? The choice is yours. HEVC is a newer compression method and creates video files that are 50% the size of H.264.  Not all video playback tools can read HEVC, so give it a test first.
