The technology
Engineering a New Angle on the Game
Chain Vue integrates compact, high-definition cameras directly into standard football down-marker chain equipment — delivering broadcast-grade footage from a perspective that has never existed before.
How it works
Cameras in the Chains. Replays on the Broadcast.
The Chain Vue system mounts seamlessly onto existing down-marker chain equipment used on every football field. No field modifications, no disruption to officiating, no additional crew. The cameras capture continuous footage at field level from the sideline — a unique, low-angle perspective that complements aerial and end-zone cameras to give broadcasters and coaches a complete picture of every play.
Standard down-marker chain equipment — now with integrated cameras.
Signal outputs
Fits Into Any Broadcast Workflow
Chain Vue is designed to integrate with the equipment you already have. We support industry-standard video output formats so your production team can plug in and go.
Serial Digital Interface
The broadcast industry standard. Chain Vue supports SDI output for direct integration with professional production switchers, routers, and recording systems. Ideal for live broadcast trucks and stadium control rooms.
High-Definition Multimedia Interface
For smaller productions, replay systems, and monitoring setups, HDMI output provides a simple, cable-ready connection to displays, capture cards, and portable production gear.
Network Device Interface
NDI enables Chain Vue footage to travel over standard IP networks — no dedicated video cabling required. Perfect for modern IP-based production workflows, remote production, and integration with software like vMix, OBS, and Tricaster.
Where we are
Active Prototype Development
Chain Vue is currently in the prototype phase. We are actively refining camera resolution, mounting hardware, signal transmission reliability, and weatherproofing for outdoor game conditions. Our goal is a system that any D2/D3 program or media company can deploy without specialized technical staff.
