720p vs. 1080p Endzone Camera: Which One Should...

It can be overwhelming to choose an endzone camera system for your team. There are so many cameras with dozens of features; making the best decision means understanding how all of these come into play. One of these features is resolution—many cameras come in either a 720p or 1080p. Unless you're into tech and gadgets, you probably don't know what sets one apart from the other.   720p and 1080p are high-definition display resolutions, widely available on digital cameras, desktop monitors, and HDTVs. People who upload videos are also increasingly doing so in HD—it's a format popular on YouTube and other video streaming platforms. Here are things to know about both of these types of display.   1080p vs. 720p Resolution: The Basics   720p video is also known as standard HD resolution. It is a progressive HDTV signal format with an aspect ratio of 16:9. Since 2009, 16:9 has been the most common aspect ratio of display screens. It is the size of most LCD monitors and TVs, and 720p was the sharpest resolution for a long time. Today, though, it is no longer the sharpest resolution for monitors, laptops, or even TV—there are screens with 1080p and 4K resolution today.   1080p is also known as full HD or FHD, and it displays a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9. People informally refer to 1080p as 2K resolution. Today, many devices use 1080p as the standard resolution for displaying images and video. Mobile phones, game consoles, computer monitors, televisions, Blu-ray discs, projectors, camcorders, and digital cameras all use 1080p. Netflix and YouTube videos also use this resolution.   What Is the Difference between 720p and 1080p?   These two video resolution formats are close to each other in quality. 1080p video has clearer images than 720p, and you can see more details in 1080p videos. However, several other factors can affect the clarity of the video or end product. You might shoot a video in FHD, but the upload speed to the internet could decrease the picture quality.    Also, the quality of the display device, how big it is, and how close the viewer is to the screen affect the viewing experience. If you use an HD display, you would see the difference between 720p and 1080p. If you view a mobile device and don't use the full-screen mode, you might not.    Furthermore, 1080p videos can play on 720p screens, but the video quality will downscale because the monitor will not have enough pixels to display the full resolution. On a 720p screen, your full HD video will still show up in standard HD resolution. Here are other things to keep in mind when choosing between full and standard HD cameras.   Do You Have Enough Data Storage?   Generally speaking, the higher the video resolution, the sharper the video quality, and the larger the file size. If you have enough data storage for an FHD endzone camera system, you can choose to record in 1080p because it lets you capture the best quality videos. Otherwise, you can choose 720p, which lets you save on storage but still captures good picture quality.   Will You Be Streaming the Video?   Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo, and other video streaming websites use 720p or 1080p. They let you choose the video resolution you want for your video stream. If you have a slow internet connection or anticipate that the viewers will be using a slow connection, you can change it to 720p so the people watching can get a better viewing experience.   YouTube streams most of its content in either 720p or 1080p. When you're watching a YouTube video, you can change the quality of the stream by clicking on the Settings icon at the bottom-right, clicking on Quality, and choosing among the available resolutions.   Conclusion   For many users, a 720p resolution camera is perfectly suitable. It is more affordable than a 1080p camera and produces videos of comparable quality to full HD. Meanwhile, if you want to invest in top-quality footage, you cannot go wrong with 1080p cameras. A 1080p camera captures sharper images and videos, but it needs more bandwidth and storage. Either way, you can capture your team's best moments and review their points of improvement with a 720p or 1080p camera.   Take your team's game to the next level with a Hi Rise Camera. Our first-in-class endzone camera system has everything you need to capture high-angle and sideline game footage in all weather conditions. Browse our products or contact us for inquiries!

Quality HDMI Cables Are Important for Your Spor...

The very best end zone camera systems help tremendously in capturing high-quality sports footage. Once you have the footage on hand, you need accessories to transfer it to a computer for editing or a television for viewing.   Once upon a time, you needed component cables to connect a camera to a television. Today, high-end HDMI cables make connecting cameras to TVs a breeze.   HDMI supports high-resolution video and multi-channel audio. Newer HDMI cables have more advanced capabilities, but you can still connect newer TVs to older devices and vice versa.   Read on for everything you need to know to pick a suitable HDMI cable.   HDMI Bandwidth   HDMI speed and bandwidth are the most important considerations when choosing the best HDMI cable for your system. Your cable speed needs to be fast enough for your camera and your TV to integrate.   HDMI cables come in four categories:   1. Standard HDMI – This cable supports HD video, and you can use it for DVD players, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and all kinds of audio/video receivers. If you’re staying in the realm of HD, you don’t need to look further.   2. High-Speed HDMI – This high-speed cable takes it up to the next level. It can manage content up to 4K at 30Hz as well as 3D video and 1080p HD.   3. Premium High-Speed HDMI – If you want to venture into Dolby HDR, HDR10+, and 4K UHD at 60Hz, a premium high-speed HDMI cable is the best choice for you. It has a guaranteed speed of 18Gbps, so you need this quality cable for all HDMI 2.0 devices. If you have brand new devices from 2018 onward, this is the cable you should get.   4. Ultra High-Speed HDMI – This bleeding-edge technology is thoroughly future-proof, with speeds up to 48Gbps. You can use all the advanced features in HDMI 2.1 devices, including 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120 Hz video, as well as all variable refresh rate technologies. This next-generation technology is not yet widely available, so you may not have to purchase this type of cable for now.   HDMI Cable Length   HDMI cables go up to several feet in length. Because audio/video setups tend to change consistently over the years, your HDMI cable should be long enough for your current and future needs.   It is suggested that hdmi cables longer than 25 feet could begin to suffer from signal degradation and may create an unreliable connection between your connected devices. This is worth paying attention to when using your HDMI cable.   You should also make sure that cable quality matches what you will use it for. If you are running a cable through a wall, choose cables with CL2 or CL3 ratings. Standard HDMI cables with thin plastic coverings will not stand up to construction materials that may be in your walls.   Conclusion   Once you’ve captured your high-quality sports footage, you will want to watch it on your TV screen for evaluation. HDMI cables make it easy to connect your camera to your TV. A Premium High-Speed HDMI cable will suit nearly all devices, but if you bought an 8K TV in the last few years, make sure you buy an HDMI cable that will suit it.   Hi Rise Camera is an innovative manufacturer of video camera tower units and endzone camera products that capture high-angle video footage. Our company was born from the idea that capturing video footage the way you need it, should be easy, impactful, and affordable.

Football shot from video tower camera

Why You Should Invest in a Quality Endzone Came...

Football is one of the most perennial favorite sports worldwide.

For example, coaches can also use it for video analysis, training, game prep, and much more.     If you’re wondering why you should spend the extra penny on an endzone camera, then we’re here to break down the reasons it’s a game-changing investment for your team:    Benefit #1: Endzone Cameras Provide High-Quality and Full-Perspective Footage for Game Analysis   It’s one thing to rewatch the game’s highlights for enjoyment, but having a camera system that captures all the parts of the football game from an elevated angle can be the most beneficial for analyzing play.    Coaches can use the camera tower footage to break down the team’s performance, especially since an endzone system can playback every detail of the team and their opponents.

3 Qualities to Look for in a Durable Video Came...

Whether you’re a sports enthusiast or part of a team, capturing sporting events’ footage requires more advanced equipment than just a smartphone camera and a phone stand. You’ll need an endzone camera system, sideline camera, or video camera tower to help you film footage at high angles, which offer the best perspectives of a game. However, not just any tower will do; you need to look for something that is sturdy and durable enough to be taken wherever you need it to without being prone to accidental damage. Finding the right video camera tower to film sporting events can be a long, confusing process, especially if you don’t know what to look for in your purchase. Here are three qualities to prioritize when searching for a video camera tower to make sure it’s durable enough to capture beautiful footage and support your sports video camera for years to come: Stake Stability Your tower will be carrying a video camera while you film, which means it needs to be stable and secure enough to do so. Towers like the Hi Rise endzone systems come with tripod-style bases, which are individually adjustable and able to support a telescoping pole that reaches up to 21 feet. They come with a wide enough base to eliminate wobbling. Straight stakes will get the job done in most cases, but just in case the tower cannot be staked into the ground, you can purchase anchor bags as an option as well. With the right stability mechanisms, you won’t have to worry about shaky footage resulting from uneven ground or wind! Durable Tower Material What many people new to sports videography don’t realize is that a tower does not need to be heavy to be durable. While this might have been the case many years ago, advancements in the industry have made it possible for materials to be incredibly strong, yet lightweight. The same can be said for Hi Rise endzone systems, which are created to be easily taken from one location to another. Sitting at a mere 45 lbs, Hi Rise units are built from aircraft-grade aluminum and backed by a 10-year warranty. These frames can take a beating without you having to worry about the bumps and scratches that come naturally with day-to-day use. Sturdy Pole Material The material used to manufacture the poles also play a crucial role in the video camera tower’s overall sturdiness. We use industrial carbon fiber for our tower telescopic poles because it’s industrial in strength, lighter than steel, and comparatively strong as many metals. This enables our towers to stand up to everyday use for years to come, while at the same time making it very easy to move and transport. It also allows better load-bearing with the tower, giving it the support it needs to remain stable. Some video camera towers are made of aluminum poles, which can also be good quality if done correctly. If low quality budget aluminum is used however, these telescopic poles can dent more easily, warp, and weigh significantly more. Conclusion Choosing the right video camera tower involves knowing the right characteristics to look for, primarily ensuring it’s strong and durable enough to support your needs for several years to come without compromising functionality. By looking at the quality of material that goes into the stakes, the tower, and the pole, you’ll be able to purchase a durable video camera tower system that you can use for years! Hi Rise Camera is the leading supplier of video camera towers, allowing sports teams and enthusiasts to capture high-angle and aerial video footage. Our towers are highly versatile and sturdy, making them excellent for shooting any sporting event. Check out our catalog today to find a durable video camera that will stand the test of time!

Here are three qualities to prioritize when searching for a video camera tower to make sure it’s durable enough to capture beautiful footage and support your sports video camera for years to come: Stake Stability Your tower will be carrying a video camera while you film, which means it needs to be stable and secure enough to do so. Towers like the Hi Rise endzone systems come with tripod-style bases, which are individually adjustable and able to support a telescoping pole that reaches up to 21 feet. They come with a wide enough base to eliminate wobbling. Straight stakes will get the job done in most cases, but just in case the tower cannot be staked into the ground, you can purchase anchor bags as an option as well. With the right stability mechanisms, you won’t have to worry about shaky footage resulting from uneven ground or wind! Durable Tower Material What many people new to sports videography don’t realize is that a tower does not need to be heavy to be durable. While this might have been the case many years ago, advancements in the industry have made it possible for materials to be incredibly strong, yet lightweight. The same can be said for Hi Rise endzone systems, which are created to be easily taken from one location to another. Sitting at a mere 45 lbs, Hi Rise units are built from aircraft-grade aluminum and backed by a 10-year warranty. These frames can take a beating without you having to worry about the bumps and scratches that come naturally with day-to-day use. Sturdy Pole Material The material used to manufacture the poles also play a crucial role in the video camera tower’s overall sturdiness. We use industrial carbon fiber for our tower telescopic poles because it’s industrial in strength, lighter than steel, and comparatively strong as many metals. This enables our towers to stand up to everyday use for years to come, while at the same time making it very easy to move and transport. It also allows better load-bearing with the tower, giving it the support it needs to remain stable. Some video camera towers are made of aluminum poles, which can also be good quality if done correctly. If low quality budget aluminum is used however, these telescopic poles can dent more easily, warp, and weigh significantly more. Conclusion Choosing the right video camera tower involves knowing the right characteristics to look for, primarily ensuring it’s strong and durable enough to support your needs for several years to come without compromising functionality. By looking at the quality of material that goes into the stakes, the tower, and the pole, you’ll be able to purchase a durable video camera tower system that you can use for years!
