There are many live streaming options for college athletic departments. At the #CoSIDA13 convention, I coordinated three different approaches to successful live streaming. This document outlines what we do at Berry College: Presto Sports and UStream. Note: Brent Harris from Wabash College and Brandon Tripp from Fresno Pacific presented other options.

TALENT AND CREW:
Depends on staffing and event. For an Ipad-cast, you just need one person to monitor the feed. For a basketball
game, we usually have a camera person, 2 broadcasters (or input radio feed), and a producer to montor the
webcast.
SCOREBOARD
-Presto live stats
($250 per sport, each year)
-Ustream has overlay that allows scoreboard input. Works well with football, soccer, lacrosse but not for volley-
ball and basketball.
COST TO END USER: Free
NOTES: Presto currently only offers import of Us-
tream video...Live stats and Presto do not always
match due to delay....Single/still camera works best
at baseball/softball with a wide- angle lens....Using
the Ipad at softball/baseball is a low-end option but
is dependent on decent wireless or IPad cellular
data ($$$) service.
