Camera Corps’ Basecam has been approved by Major League Baseball (MLB). Basecam, a fully integrated broadcast specialised action camera embedded within the base itself, promises an immersive and dynamic viewing experience for baseball enthusiasts.

Developed in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery and base manufacturer Rawlings, Basecam introduces a multi-camera system that captures live streams from the perspective of the base infield. This innovative technology provides viewers with unique angles, showcasing the skills of both fielders and batters in high-definition detail.

Equipped with state-of-the-art cameras, Basecam delivers full broadcast HD quality, ensuring every play is captured with precision. The system boasts COFDM RF connectivity for video and data control with remote management capabilities, allowing for efficient live streaming. It also meets stringent health and safety standards.

Beyond its creative applications, Basecam also provides an additional revenue stream for broadcasters by offering sponsored shots as part of the fan engagement experience.

Camera Corps envisions the camera will evolve with emerging technologies covering connectivity, formats and enhanced audio, promising an even more immersive experience for fans and broadcasters alike.

“The approval from Major League Baseball is a testament to Camera Corps’ commitment to delivering cutting-edge camera technology that enhances the viewer experience while prioritising player safety. We want to get cameras into new perspectives, allowing broadcasters to differentiate themselves with new and exciting shots,” said Barry Parker, commercial manager, Camera Corps.
