About

It started with a phone on a music stand. RC Eemland was playing at home, parents and alumni asked if they could watch along, and I thought: how hard can it be? The answer: pretty hard, if you don't know what you're doing.

The first stream had no sound. The second had sound but no picture for the first five minutes. The third time the internet dropped halfway through the second half. Every week something different went wrong, and every week I learned something new.

By now I produce Ereklasse rugby livestreams at RC Eemland — multi-camera, live switching, scoreboard, commentary, the full package. I contributed to the Rugby Europe Championship — including the Women's Rugby Europe Championship 2026, NED vs Portugal, with a 6-camera production and SRT delivery to Rugby Europe — and I've streamed more matches than I can count. Not as a business. As a volunteer who happens to enjoy combining technology and sport.

And every time I talk to someone from another club, I hear the same questions. "Which camera should I buy?" "How does OBS work?" "How much internet do you need?" "How do you do those scoreboards?"

At some point I wrote it all down. Everything. From the first phone stream to the multi-camera setup we run now. What works, what doesn't, and which mistakes you can avoid. That became this kit.

This isn't a company. There's no team, no office, no helpdesk. It's one person who does this every week and wrote it down so you don't have to figure it out yourself.
