Ten athletes can't huddle around a phone. Connect your iPhone or iPad to a TV over AirPlay or an HDMI adapter and Coach Video Analysis puts a clean, full-screen picture on the big screen — both videos, your drawings, the grid — while the buttons, timelines, and toolboxes stay on your device. The team sees only the analysis; you keep the cockpit.
Why a dedicated external-screen mode matters
Plain screen mirroring shows the room everything: your controls, the scrubber you're dragging, notification banners. A presentation mode instead treats the TV as a second, audience-facing display. In Coach Video Analysis the external screen shows the video canvas only — no buttons, no timelines — and drawings are re-rendered at the TV's own resolution with slightly thicker strokes, so a line you draw on a 6-inch phone reads clearly from the back row of a clubhouse.
Setup: two ways to connect
- AirPlay (wireless): open Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, pick the Apple TV or AirPlay-capable TV on the same Wi-Fi. The app detects the external display and switches it to the clean presentation view automatically.
- HDMI (wired): a USB-C (or Lightning) to HDMI adapter into any TV or projector. No network needed — the reliable choice in gyms and clubhouses with hostile Wi-Fi.
Nothing to configure in the app: plug in or connect, and the external view appears; disconnect and it's gone.
Running a team film session
- Prepare clips beforehand. Use the Clip button to pull the teachable moments out of the game footage in advance — see saving clips from a long video. A film session that scrubs through dead time loses the room in minutes.
- One point per clip. Play the moment at full speed for context, then again at 1/4 speed, then freeze on the key frame.
- Draw live. Open Markup and draw on the freeze-frame — the stroke appears on the TV as you draw it. A live-drawn line holds attention in a way a pre-annotated slide doesn't.
- Compare on the big screen. Two synced videos side by side on a 60-inch TV — this attempt vs. the model — is the strongest format a team session has. The Grid shows on the TV too, for alignment references.
Also good for one athlete
The same setup works in a studio or clinic: the athlete or patient watches themselves on the wall-mounted TV while you control playback from the bench. Golf studios, dance studios, and physio clinics use exactly this pattern — see video analysis for physical therapy.
Present from Coach Video Analysis
External screen output over AirPlay or HDMI is built in and free: a control-free picture of both videos, live drawings redrawn at TV resolution, and the grid. Prepare clips, sync comparisons, and run the whole session from your iPhone or iPad.
