Endzone Station
The endzone equipment will be set up under the jumbo screen on the right-ez when looking out onto the field from the press box regardless of the scenario you choose. However, you will want to be on the correct side of the pillars depending on your scenario.
The picture below shows home and visitor endzone equipment. Equipment includes: red/white end zone station antenna, power tube, and remote camera kit (RCK). 
All of the following pictures below show where the endzone equipment shall be positioned for scenario 1: sideline filmers are on the same side as the coaches.
Be sure you take the time to adjust the angle of the antenna so as to get a straight line of sight to the matching antenna as this alignment can affect download speeds. Aim clear of the pillars and goal post so as not to obstruct the signal.
Remember, you will not get 4 green checks on the end zone RCK until you have the 4 blue lock lights on the red/white antenna.

SCENARIO 1: Coaches and sideline filmers on the same side of the field
In this situation, you will need your SkyCoach kit, cameras, and iPads.
The filmer sets up the host box and camera(s) in the open air deck on the 3rd floor of the stadium, denoted in the picture below with the horizontal line.
Position the red/white round bridge antenna in the front of the deck with a straight line of sight to the matching endzone antenna. Use 100' ethernet to run the "bunny ear" access point into the room with the coaches. H for home coach booth and V for visitor coach booth.
Press Box: Use 100' ethernet to run the bunny ear access point into the room with the coaches.
Be sure to make adjustments to the angle of the round antennas at each location as their unobstructed and straight line of sight to each other will impact download speeds.

[follow these steps when adding a bridge to move sc-coachbox-wifi across the field]
-
Take the host box to the film deck across the field. Take the round bridge antenna from the switch box. On the white poe injector in the host box, use the 10' ethernet labeled "Antenna ONLY" to replace the SC-CoachBox-WiFi bunny ear antenna with the black/white bridge antenna labeled "PressBox, Point at CoachBox".
-
Take the switch box to the coach's booth. Then attach your SC-CoachBox-WiFi bunny ear antenna to the secondary LAN2 port on the black/white station antenna labeled "CoachBox, Point at PressBox". Use any length ethernet cable that makes it possible to place the bunny ear antenna in the room with the coaches.
The coachbox iPads can connect via wifi using your SC-CoachBox-XXXXX access point or you can connect up to 4 iPads via ethernet using the adapters and switch.
Be sure to make adjustments to the angle of the round antennas at each location as their unobstructed and straight line of sight to each other will impact download speeds.
