Recording time-of-day timecode to your media is essential data for the metrics used in player tracking and biometrics recording systems. Built-in GPS capability enables the new JVC GY-HM650SC ProHD camera to retrieve coordinated universal time (UTC) via satellite and the camera embeds a real-time reference within the video metadata. This facilitates synchronizing multiple cameras with biometric data collected by optional player tracking devices. This abundance of data allows a coach to instantly find a portion of video associated with any specific biometric or positional data point.

The GYHM650SC features an intuitive GUI that permits you to include specific metadata related to the type of play (offense, defense, kickoff, etc.). The metadata can then be interpreted by the XOS Thunder platform, allowing the system to automatically categorize and separate plays into appropriate folders, which can save hours of post-recording cutting and tagging when compared to traditional coaching workflows.

You can send footage directly to the analytics platform as a stream or FTP upload after each play via a 4G LTE connection or Wi-Fi using the GY-HM650SC's built-in streaming tools. As a result, footage does not have to be uploaded manually, so coaches and players can review footage as soon as the game or practice is complete. In addition, high-quality HD footage can be simultaneously recorded to SD cards in the camera for further detailed review, backup, or archive purposes.
