Thanks yopp! Was researching how to do this in our parlor and the setup I had come up with was considerably more expensive and closer to the streamers setup. We don't intend to stream and just want tournament players to be able to see opponent play in about 4 positions. I'm going to put together a single unit and see how it's received. When you find the link to the camera please post.

Thanks for sharing this- thats an awesome setup and I would very much enjoy playing at that location!

quick question on the monitor >>
do I need to look for anything special to be able to both mount and display in this vertical orientation?

no sams club card here so I will be examining options.

Your arcade looks so fun, I'd love to go one day.

Ahhh graci!

If anyone comes up with a way to safely but non-permenantly affix the camera to the backbox then please let me know.

I am not an engineer but would really like to have a single camera to experiment with and be able to easily move to different games. I really like having it mounted on the game so the camera moves with the game when nudging.

Just look for four screw-holes arranged in a square on the back - the standard VESA mount. With that, changing from vertical to horizontal is no problem.

We're looking at a way to use a bar clamp(s) to hold the camera. This should be portable and non damaging

please share your ideas when you work stuff out.

I have ordered the camera and converter. Gonna shop around local box stores to see what I can find for a cheap VESA tv and mount.

heads up for anyone else ordering parts. I am trying to get things working and it appears >>>

You are going to need a male to male BNC connector in order to connect your camera into your converter box

Also worth note that the camera Yopp linked does not appear to come with a mounting plate or a power supply. That means you have to get a bit creative with the mounting ideas and also need to get a power supply (appears to need 12v 700ma)

I did.

I will get some photos and post up my tips eventually. The players are really liking it.

The only bummer about your setup is that it's not attached to the game so that it doesn't stay aligned if shoved like the original setup.

An early TourneyCam prototype years ago used a boom clamped to the backbox -- the stick-on rubber furniture protectors used for clamping grip slid so much (warm day) that the camera indeed crashed onto the glass. Irked the game's owner. Slightly dented the camera too. This boom clamp vibrated too much during play so I went with the behind the box boom.

The security cameras used here do a great job with low lighting. This is the biggest problem with cheap camcorders and USB cams.

If the camera has enough coverage you can also get the DMD into view -- this is useful when recording gameplay.
For audience viewing this YOPP setup looks great!

Here's the old vid-rig discussion:

nah, not really an issue since the view is wide enough that a little nudging does not make a difference. If someone nudges too far then they are going to tilt anyway Even with nudging you can still see the action of the game and nothing goes out of screen.

The benefit of being wall mounted means I can easily slide in a new game to the slot with little effort. We tend to rotate things on a regular basis s this was the way to go.

Here's a rig we made up based on your design. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10212212888859233&set=a.10212212839938010&type=3&theater

to keep it from damaging the top of the backbox we mounted it between 2 clamps. This year we're going to upgrade to better cameras and better tvs

does this camera meet the proper specifications for this setup? the original link to the camera in the video is no longer active.

We switched to this camera to get a better picture.

3 times the price though

is the quality jump that significant? i'm not too worried about the added cost because i only need to outfit one table :p

We're using it at a pinball show on the newest machines (wonka, ACNC, BKSOR, etc) so we want the best quality

The BK:SoR video was blown out with this camera (I think it was this one...it was in the Marco area) and looked lower-res than 1920x1080 at GS. Is there a white balance on this camera?
