What is an 'Arena'?

What is an 'Arena' in Spiideo Play and how you can manage them

Updated over 6 months ago

Any field/court/rink that you want to broadcast from with a Spiideo camera system is called an Arena. Account members who are either Admins or Schedulers will be able to schedule new broadcasts.

You can view and manage your Arenas via the 'CloudControl' tab.

  1. Arenas with on-going installations

  2. Arenas with offline cameras

  3. Search bar

  4. If an Arena is enabled for Cloudlink

  5. Camera connection status

  6. Type of scoreboard for arena

  7. Total connections lost within the last 30 days

  8. If a recording is ongoing


If an Arena Goes Offline During a Recording

If cameras are OFFLINE before the broadcast starts:

  • The game will not be recorded.

  • Viewers will not be able to watch any of the game and no footage can be salvaged.

  • It is best to notify your viewers via social channels or email that the venue is experiencing connectivity issues and the game will not be live streamed.

If cameras are ONLINE during the start of the broadcast, then lose network connection during the game:

  • Viewers will experience buffering/freezing of the video once the cameras have lost connection.

  • Once the cameras come back online, viewers should be able to watch the rest of the game without interruptions

If cameras are ONLINE during the start of the broadcast, then lose network connection and do not come back online until after the game:

  • Viewers will not be able to watch any of the broadcast past the point where the cameras lost connection.

  • When the cameras come back online, the rest of the video will upload and still be viewable after the game is over.

If cameras are ONLINE during the start of the broadcast, then lose power during the broadcast:

  • All footage until the power loss will be uploaded once cameras regain power

  • No further footage will be captured after the power loss
