Video Camera

PRO level or Subscription purchase required.

Custom Settings

Toggle to enable or disable custom video output settings

The default settings (disable) use the Apple default video settings which is 1080p for most devices. High Efficiency format (HEVC, H.265) is available for supported devices running iOS 11 or higher (iPhone 7/7 Plus or newer. iPad Pro (10.5)/iPad Pro 12.9, 2nd generation or newer. High Efficiency format is not supported on iPod Touch, 6th generation or earlier).

Default settings are recommended as it optimizes battery consumption and CPU cycles.

Video Format

Available only for supported devices. Choose between High Efficiency (HEVC) or Most Compatible. HEVC, also know as H.265, allows for reduced file sizes for the same quality. Most Compatible uses H.264 and is best if you aren't part of the Apple ecosystem.

Video Resolution

Choices are 720p (30 or 60 fps), 1080p (30 or 60 fps), or 4K Video. NOTE: 4K Video requires HEVC format.

 
NOTE: If using Live Streaming, FPS must be the same as those used for you service. If they are different you will be prompted to pick which FPS setting to use.
 

Avg bitrate (Mbits/Sec)

Average amount of data transferred per unit of time. Change this value to increase or decrease the average bitrate. Average bitrate (ABR) is directly related to file size and quality. A higher bitrate requires more disk space but produces better quality (up to a certain point).

Video Size (approximate)

Not editable and for information use only. Changes when other Video Output settings are changed. Values are approximate and your video file sizes may vary. Only sure way to tell the size of the video file is to record and measure it.

Other Options

Miscellaneous options for ScoreCam.

Score Sharing Setup

This PRO feature allows you to quickly share scores without leaving ScoreCam. Services supported are Messages, Twitter, Facebook, Mail or User Select, which brings up a list of choices specific to the device via the built-in sharing menu. For more information see the Score Sharing page.

Alternate Recording Mode

When enabled allows for a pause-free video to also be saved when Stopping a recording (tapping the Stop button). See Options below.

This mode is also used if your device is experiencing MovieWriter errors. If your device does not experience these errors, and you don't want to also save a pause-free version of the video, it is recommended that this mode be OFF due to the amount of time it takes to save when it is enabled (approximately 30 seconds for a 10 minute video).

 
WARNING: When using Alternate Recording Mode saving videos will take considerably longer to process
 

What causes MovieWriter errors? The cause of this issue, according to Apple, is a bug in their code and related to pausing and resuming the MovieWriter which is the mechanism used to write a movie to disk. While Apple acknowledges this error on certain devices, and due to the fact that this issue is intermittent, it's doubtful this bug will ever be fixed thus the reason to incorporate an alternative recoding option.

While the errors may not occur frequently (about once every three 20 minute recordings or even less in most cases), when they do occur they can be disrupting to your ScoreCam experience so Alternate Recording Mode may be your best choice.

Options

Shown only when Alternate Recording Mode is ON. The following options are available:
