Production services provider Leading Edge Multimedia recently used Marshall Electronics’ CV368 compact global shutter camera with Genlock, to conduct live streaming of the 2022 Bridge II Sports’ Valor Games Southeast 3-on-3 wheelchair basketball tournament.
David Anderson, Leading Edge Multimedia’s CEO & Founder, who captured the action of the competition, first sent a CV368 camera for testing by Tod Musgrave, Director of Cameras at Marshall.
“As soon as I tried it, it knocked my socks off,” Anderson revealed. “I knew I needed Marshall in my inventory, to provide a unique perspective above the backboard for this wheelchair basketball tournament.”
The tournament included veterans and service members with disabilities, as well as non-veterans/service members with physical disabilities, taking the court in spirited competition and camaraderie.
The CV368 POV camera offers a 1/1.8-inch Global Shutter 3.2MP sensor and 25% larger pixel size, for ultra-fast, low latency capture even in challenging light environment; and the CV368’s Global Shutter sensor with Genlock (signal-sync) produces “crystal clear” images for a variety of applications, while its flexible CS lens mount makes this the most capable Point-of-View (POV) camera in Marshall’s compact camera line-up.
“The Marshall CV368 really shone because it is so small yet so powerful,” said Anderson. “Due to its size, it was less likely to be impacted by a ball since it was placed over the top of the backboard.
“I was expecting to use that angle three or four times a game, but I used that shot probably close to 300 times over the course of the tournament. It was my go-to since all the action happens under the net.”
Bridge II Sports’ CEO & Founder Ashley Thomas was also very appreciative of Marshall cameras. “David stepped up in an incredible way and let us show people wheelchair basketball,” said Thomas.
“David’s idea to use the tiny Marshall camera on top of the backboard was a game changer. That little camera allowed our live stream to put viewers in the middle of the action and really engage with the audience.”
