Strains of On the banks of the Red Cedar will be wafting through the evening air as the Michigan State Spartans take on Western Michigan at home on Friday, August 30, the opening game of the season. For the past several years, Spartans football has counted on Panasonic P2 HD camcorders and remote HD cameras to capture video for coaching analysis.
Spartans football program represents Michigan State University in college football as members of the Big Ten Conference at the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision level. The team competes at home in Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, MI. The team, which won the Big Ten championship in 2010, won the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl over TCU at the start of 2013.
Most recently, Spartans football purchased two AW-HE50S Full HD pan/tilt/zoom cameras and an AW-HE870 remote HD camera with AW-RP655 remote controls. Prior camera investments encompass an AG-HPX370 and three AG-HPX300 P2 HD shoulder-mounts, and an AG-HPX170 P2 HD handheld. All the cameras record HD video out to Panasonic AG-HMR10 handheld AVCCAM HD recorder/players. The team utilizes XOS Digital's Thunder Football HD for video editing and game planning.
Matt Harper, Director of Technology, MSU Football, explained that for recording games, he uses the HPX370/HMR10 combo for the sideline high angle, and an HPX300/HMR10 combo for the end zone high angle. The HPX170 is utilized for ground level capture.
The HE50Ss are mounted to the corner of the ceiling and the walls in the indoor practice facility, one on each 40-yard line to get a sideline angle of the action on the field. In the past we could never get a lift in that location to get that angle, so the HE50Ss have been a huge upgrade for us, Harper said.
The HE870 is mounted on a 40-foot pole outside next to the outdoor turf practice field. The AW-RP655 controller, on a cart with a monitor, is wheeled outside and plugged in at the bottom of the pole. During offense and defense practices on the two outdoor fields, the HPX370/HPX300s are used with HMR10s to shoot video from the sidelines and end zones.
Panasonic has long been our camera supplier of choice because of its superior integration with XOS Thunder Football, as well as the workflow speed the cameras afford, said Harper. When I'm tasked with delivering high-quality video to the coaches and players absolutely as soon as possible, workflow is everything.

About the AG-HPX370
The AG-HPX370 is an affordable second-generation, interchangeable lens camcorder with 10-bit, 4:2:2, independent-frame full 1920 x 1080 resolution AVC-Intra recording. The HPX370 incorporates newly-developed 1/3 , full-HD 2.2 megapixel U.L.T. (Ultra Luminance Technology) 3-MOS imagers and a 20-bit Digital Signal Processor to acquire native 1920 x 1080 resolution images. Rivaling the image quality and sensitivity of imagers, the new U.L.T. sensor results in marked improvements in sensitivity, measured at F10. The same levels of sensitivity and image production that characterize the interlace mode are now possible in progressive mode courtesy of Progressive Advanced Processing (P.A.P.), a 3D adaptive processing technology.
