VOGOSCOPE UNITY: The professional video refereeing solution for non-televised competitions

In an ever-evolving sports landscape, video officiating should not be reserved solely for major televised competitions. Federations, leagues, and organizers of local or national events now need powerful tools to ensure fairness, decision quality, and transparency of results. It is with this in mind that VOGO developed VOGOSCOPE UNITY, a comprehensive, turnkey video solution designed specifically for non-televised competitions.

Meeting a real-world need on the field

Traditional video officiating solutions, primarily designed for major competitions, often fail to meet the needs of lower levels since they rely on TV programming and production camera feeds. With VOGOSCOPE UNITY, VOGO democratizes this technology by offering a professional, reliable, and accessible solution that includes capture tools tailored for smaller-scale sporting events.

This solution is designed to provide video assistance for refereeing decisions in contexts where budgetary, logistical, or technical constraints prevent the use of traditional systems. It is a multi-camera video control room that is easy to install, operate, and manage without requiring a specialized technician.

A practical response to the challenge of fair play in sports

Refereeing errors, though often human, can have a significant impact on the outcome of a competition. Thanks to its live video capture, instant replay, slow-motion, and zoom features, VOGOSCOPE UNITY significantly enhances the quality of officiating. It enables referees to quickly access footage from multiple angles to confirm or adjust their decisions, thereby strengthening the fairness of competitions.

Captation multicaméra et replays synchronisés

VOGOSCOPE UNITY is built on a fully synchronized multi-camera system that covers all key areas of the field. The captured footage is instantly available for replay, providing a comprehensive view of contentious plays. These features are valuable both during the match and for post-match analysis.

Intuitive viewing and simplified controls

Thanks to its user-friendly interface, referees can operate the solution themselves. The use of touchscreens, tablets, or fixed monitors allows smooth navigation between video feeds, replays, and analysis tools. No lengthy training is required just a few minutes are enough to get comfortable with the system.

Compatibility with referees audio systems

VOGOSCOPE UNITY can be paired with referee audio communication systems (intercom), notably those from the VOKKERO ELITE or VOKKERO UNITY ranges, to provide a combined audio and video solution. This facilitates coordination between referees, even remotely, and further enhances the speed of decision-making.

Plug & play deployment in just a few minutes

Designed for quick setup, VOGOSCOPE UNITY requires no heavy infrastructure or technical staff. Its modular architecture allows the system to be configured according to the specific constraints of each venue, whether it’s a stadium, gymnasium, or outdoor field.

A reliable solution for outdoor competitions

The included equipment is waterproof, shock-resistant, and built to withstand high temperatures, making VOGOSCOPE UNITY perfectly suited for outdoor competitions—even in challenging weather conditions. The cameras and control unit have enough battery life to cover a full day of competition without interruption.

Both team and individual sports

Whether for team sports like handball, basketball, and waterpolo, or individual disciplines such as gymnastics, climbing, sliding sports, or extreme sports, VOGOSCOPE UNITY adapts seamlessly. Its technical flexibility allows it to cover a wide range of playing areas and integrate smoothly into the officiating routines of each sport.

Use in both competition and training

Beyond its usefulness during matches, VOGOSCOPE UNITY is also a valuable tool for post-match reviews and referee training. The footage captured serves as a resource to improve future decisions or train young referees.

A solution already adopted by several federations

The VOGOSCOPE UNITY solution has already been successfully used in a variety of contexts. While it is primarily designed for non-televised competitions, several national federations and international organizers have adopted it for mid-scale events where high-quality officiating remains essential. This on-the-ground validation demonstrates its reliability and added value.

In a sporting world where precision and fairness can no longer be reserved for the elite, VOGOSCOPE UNITY represents a true paradigm shift. By combining professional video capture, synchronized replays, an intuitive interface, and simplified deployment, VOGO delivers a solution that transforms officiating management even far from the spotlight of televised events. With accessibility designed for all levels of competition, proven robustness in the field, and full compatibility with the brand’s audio solutions, VOGOSCOPE UNITY becomes a strategic tool for federations and organizers looking to professionalize their competitions. It also provides a concrete response to the expectations of referees and judges, who now demand better resources to carry out their mission with accuracy and peace of mind.

In short, VOGOSCOPE UNITY is video technology serving the truth of sport. Accessible, reliable, and high-performing, it is already establishing itself as a benchmark for the future of video refereeing in sports.
