Piston vs RugbyREF Usage & Stats
Capture and accelerate learning moments during training and performances using a Piston Server. Piston is built for teaching using multi-camera vision to enhance the knowledge transfer process. Create a real impact at the point of best contact.
• 4K VISION
Piston captures vision from a wide variety of 4K network cameras and supports options for SDI and HDMI. Capture features include custom encoding options, single file and streaming file creation and synchronised multi-camera session capture.
• Multi-Camera
Piston systems are capable of capturing and reviewing up to 16 network cameras simultaneously. In-sync angle switching is a simple swipe. Clips from multiple angles can be cut and downloaded for offline review. Capture sessions can be scheduled ahead of time, so nothing is missed.
• Multipeer MarkUp
Shared markup and annotation data across all users during capture sessions in real time or post-event. Mark up button schemes are distributed from a central source, so mark up data capture is consistent. Supports XML and JSON data export.
• Drawing
Pause, draw and save. Simple to use drawing tools to highlight aspects of the vision. Save as images with the drawings for later viewing or sharing.
• Streaming Upload
Live streaming export and upload to AWS Simple Storage Service (S3). A cost-effective, reliable and easy way to stream. Supports custom export settings and angle selection.
• Live Opta Import
With a live data subscription, Opta's live data can be imported and synchronised in a capture session.

RugbyREF was developed by an Active Rugby Referee as a Practical On-Field Assistant with an Apple Watch and extended Sideline Management Function on an iPhone for Rugby Union (RugbyREF) Referees in 2018.
The aim in Version 21 has been App Stability and we have stripped the iPhone functions back to basics and completely redeveloped the WATCH APP for extensive field-testing as a Free Download, before reintroducing a range of new extended PRO Features in the next updates to follow, to include Card Timers, Custom Team Setup, Mapping and more.
The Mobile App (iPhone) is ideal for Team Managers, Score Keepers and Sideline Managers for either Scoring the Game on a Time-line sequence and/or Manage Substitutes and Cards Issued, whereas the Watch Functionality is intended to be easily used during the Game (On the Run).
Our aim is to ensure a user-friendly Practical & Functional Application to use during the game and record relevant game information. The BASIC Scoring Option on iPhone allows for easy Setup and Game Scoring whereas the Watch App provides game management on the field.
RugbyREF Game Management in 3 easy steps on your iPhone:
1) Set up your Game Timer,
2) Define your Team Colors, and
3) Score your Game by tapping the relevant section

This APP is Optimized for iPhone X (or later), using iOS-17 or later, but will work on some earlier iPhone 8 Models, Operating in Portrait-mode (only) and Incorporate Healthkit Elements for Background Haptic Feedback.
