Product & Package Information

What’s included in the high school athletic department package?

Our high school packages are customizable for your program and there are multiple packages to choose from, but each one includes the following:

  • Customize your set up with any combination of Focus Indoor or Outdoor cameras to cover your facilities your way. Add Focus Flex, our portable camera for soccer teams, or Focus Point for a static capture option-perfect for a baseball and softball diamond or volleyball court. Every one of our cameras are equipped with instant uploading and livestreaming capabilities.
  • A Hudl subscription for every team.
  • Game data, stat breakdowns and reports for varsity level football, basketball, volleyball, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, softball, wrestling, and ice hockey teams.
  • Play Tools for football teams included in all packages, and Hudl Sideline available in some packages.
How do all these products work together?

The high school athletic department package is the only fully integrated solution where each product combines to give every team the ability to better capture, analyze and share practice and game video.

Each product is directly integrated into Hudl software, so it’s a seamless process to get video from Focus or Sideline right into Hudl.

Once you have your video stored in Hudl, it’s simple to get access to automated data and reports, share coaching points with your athletes, build clips or playlists, and create highlights to share with families, community members and recruiters.

With the new Fan Engagement Suite, you can offer fans a central hub for accessing livestreams, highlights, ticketing, schedules, rosters, athlete profiles and more.

Put together, these tools help inspire your athletes, save your coaches time and elevate your entire program.

What does a Hudl subscription provide?

Hudl is an online and mobile platform that allows teams to host, share and review video, and gives athletes the ability to create their own highlights and share them with recruiters. It’s the core product that our other products and features like Focus, Sideline and Analysis Data are directly integrated into. Our franchise player, so to speak.

Hudl can be also used beyond athletics with organizations like band, show choir, student teaching, etc, as long as whatever is recorded takes place within the boundaries of a Focus-equipped court or field.

What is the Focus Exchange Network?

The Focus Exchange Network* allows all athletic department package customers to gain access to their film from road and neutral site games at Focus-equipped facilities.

*Available for Focus Indoor and Focus Outdoor

What does Analysis Data do?

Film breakdown has never been easier. With Analysis Data (formerly Hudl Assist), we provide access to team and individual stats, tie every data point to video and compile it all in easy-to-navigate visual reports. Programs on an athletic department package can get game and scout breakdowns (varies by package) for varsity level football, basketball, volleyball, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, softball, wrestling and ice hockey teams.

What does Hudl Sideline do?

Sideline is a football-only solution for instant replay. It provides a private wireless network allowing your coaches to intercut their camera angles to review and make in-game adjustments.

What does Hudl Play Tools do?

Play Tools is a football-only solution that digitizes playbooks and practice scripts to streamline how your team prepares.

About Hudl Focus

What does Hudl Focus do?

Hudl Focus is full line of auto-tracking cameras and static capture options, all of which have livestreaming capabilities that captures HD video from the perfect angle of your gym or field. Focus is directly integrated with Hudl, so game or practice film is automatically uploaded as soon as the action stops. The Focus Exchange Network* gives athletic department package customers access to film from any road and neutral site games at Focus-equipped facilities.

Focus cameras are specifically built for coaches, providing them with additional coaching tools like a pan and zoom feature*, where coaches can zoom in on the perfect angle of their video during film review to better see and coach the details.

*Available for Focus Indoor and Focus Outdoor

Will Hudl help with installation of the Focus cameras?

While Hudl doesn’t physically install your cameras, it’s a simple process that we coach you through every step of the way. Check out our library of resources for Focus Indoor, Focus Outdoor, and Focus Flex to help make the installation and set up process even easier.

How do we livestream with Focus?
  • To stream directly to Hudl TV, select your desired event in your Hudl schedule, and choose the Hudl TV option in the Livestream dropdown. From there, your event will automatically stream to your school’s Hudl Fan profile, making it easy for your fans to find.
  • To stream directly to YouTube, simply enable YouTube Live for the event you want to livestream in your Hudl Focus app.
  • To stream with a broadcast software, we’ll provide you with an IP address to add as the video source so you can securely access the feed from Focus over your network. Once you start a new Focus recording, you can start a new broadcast and select Focus as the video source. Just make sure your broad­cast­ing platform is running on a computer that’s wired into the same network as Hudl Focus.
Can we monetize our livestream with Focus?

Yes, many programs have chosen to monetize their livestream with Hudl Focus. Common ways to do so include utilizing a pay-per-view option or obtaining sponsorships.

Can we use our Pixellot/NFHS camera with Hudl?

While you can upload footage from a Pixellot/NFHS camera to Hudl, it's a cumbersome process that can often take hours, because you have to manually upload video files. Because the Focus camera automatically captures and uploads to Hudl, users are able to get their film uploaded immediately after the game ends.


If you’re looking to stream Focus footage to the NFHS network, you can do so using any broadcast software that accepts video through an IP feed.

How does Focus work for away games?

Our Focus Exchange Network allows athletic department package customers to access their game film from any road and neutral site games at Focus-equipped facilities.

*Available for Focus Indoor and Focus Outdoor

Can we use the Focus cameras for events outside of sports?

Yes, you can use it for all school events held at your gym or field. Customers often use it for events like pep rallies, graduation ceremonies and more. Just like with your sporting events, you can livestream any of these events to Hudl TV or with your broadcast software.
