From Super Cup to Prague: How CamStreamer’s Sports Solution keeps European softball on air

24 Oct 2025 - 15:10

We were honored to be part of the 2025 Men’s Softball European Super Cup – thank you, Czech softball association! CamStreamer streamed games from three fields in Most, Chomutov, and Kadaň – smoothly, glitch-free, and yes, even after a foul ball smacked straight into one of the cameras. Our Axis-powered setup and CamStreamer Sports Solution took the hit and kept the broadcast rolling. 

A week of elite fastpitch – captured live

The Men’s Softball European Super Cup brought Europe’s best to Czechia. In the end, the Hørsholm Hurricanes defended their crown and lifted the 2025 title—another high-drama finish for a showcase event hosted across Most and Chomutov.

And the season isn’t over: next up is the Women’s Softball European Championship 2025, played 7–13 September in Prague. We’re excited to bring fans closer than ever as the continent’s top national teams battle for the title.

What powered the Super Cup streams

Our Sports Solution is built for baseball and softball—and it showed on every pitch:

• AI pitch detection with automated camera switching between a field-wide view and a batter close-up.

• Ballclubz scoring integration (used by WBSC), with the option to update scores manually or show the physical scoreboard via PiP.

• Deep YouTube integration for manual or automated scheduled streaming—perfect for clubs that want reliable “set-and-forget” broadcasts.

• Control from anywhere (browser or mobile): start/stop, switch angles, add graphics/ads, tag moments, record and export clips.

• Scale beyond two cameras – support for up to five views, including static, PTZ, or multi-sensor panoramic cameras.

What you need

An internet connection, two Axis cameras, and a Sports Solution license. For automated pitch tracking, the main camera should be an Axis model with ARTPEC-8 (or newer) and a DLPU.

And how any softball/baseball venue can go live like a pro

Below is a practical blueprint you can adapt—whether you’re a local club, a tournament host, or a high-performance program.

1. Single-field club (entry-level, affordable)

• Cameras:
  
  
• Main field camera (Axis with ARTPEC-8 + DLPU) watching the pitcher + field.
• Batter cam for close-ups.
• Workflow: Automated pitch-triggered switching; manual score entry in the UI or integrated Ballclubz. Add a sponsor lower-third or a short ad clip between innings—right from the interface.
  
  
• Outputs: Stream to YouTube/Facebook; save recordings; export highlight clips for socials or coaching.

2. Multi-field tournament (2–4 diamonds)

• Cameras per field: Same two-camera core; add a third angle (e.g., first-base or outfield) for variety. Up to five cameras are supported.

• Central control: One operator can monitor multiple fields via the browser or mobile app—switching, updating scores, and rolling sponsor content during breaks.

• Scoreboard options: Live Ballclubz integration or PiP of the physical scoreboard—whichever your crews prefer.

• Outcome: Consistent, TV-style coverage without a truck or a large crew—ideal for federations and host clubs.

3. Stadium/elite program (broadcast polish)

• Angles: Add PTZ presets for crowd, dugout, bullpen, and celebration shots; mix with static cameras for a clean program feed.

• Enhancements: Live commentary from a Bluetooth headset; in-break media (sponsor reads, hype videos); fast postgame reels from tagged moments.

Why it worked at the Super Cup (and will work in other championships)

• Automation reduces human error in high-tempo moments (the pitch) while keeping a director’s control for everything else.

• Mobile-first operations mean volunteers or small crews can manage streams from the concourse, press box, or a media tent.

• Built-in recording and exporting make instant highlights and social content easy—great for sponsors and fans.
