LIVE OAK, CA (MPG) – In the era of COVID-19, when technology has enabled educational instruction to continue virtually, Live Oak High School has pounced on the opportunity of its athletics program to rise to a new digital height.

2020 saw rampant cancellations of athletic programs and caused the California Interscholastic Federations to postpone the start of Fall season sports until Spring of ‘21. With sporting seasons tentatively kicking off, Live Oak has invested in a pair of cameras intended to broadcast live outdoor and indoor sporting events for those social distancing. The Pixellot cameras feature multiple lenses to capture the action on the court while also keeping an eye on the scoreboard for viewers.

Live Oak High School’s athletic director, Mike Owen, says that previously, the idea of livestreaming sports was not financially possible for the school when he first considered the idea in 2019. Since then, the school has had some good luck. “They lowered their price,” says Owen. Pixellot camera’s current retail value sits at about $5,000 each.
