HITTING
Application
If you have previously added players, whether that’s on the cloud portal or on a different iPad, you will need to connect your current device to an actual internet source (NOT Rapsodo WiFi) and click the sync icon.
You are using a Guest Baseball or Guest Softball profile, you must use a created player profile to get all of the premium data points. If you do not have a subscription, one can be purchased on our website here.

- After syncing for a few moments the icon will show ‘Cloud Sync Completed’ indicating all the data has been synced to the cloud.
- Please Note: Recorded videos take longer to sync than data only. Even though the icon will say ‘Cloud Sync Completed’ you may still have videos needing uploaded. To check this, you can open the app settings>about> on the bottom left hand side it will say ‘Videos and Diangostic Files pending for syncing’ the number should say 0/0 indicating all videos were synced.
- Connect your iPad to an actual internet source (NOT Rapsodo WiFi)

- This will send your players an activation link that the players will need to click on (sent to their emails)
- Once done, the players will be active.
Cloud
After activating a player profile (clicking on the link in the activation email) the player will then need to create an account. This can be done by clicking on the clink in the second email they receive (verification email) or they can visit cloud.rapsodo.com directly and click on Player Signup. From there, they will use the same email they were activated with and create a password.
The only export feature Rapsodo offers is the downloadable Pitching and Hitting Reports. There is no export feature for a csv file, unless you have a higher level of our cloud subscription. If you are interested in learning more about our higher level plans, please contact support@rapsodo.com.
You have to make sure you sync the data from the iPad to the cloud. Rapsodo data is stored locally on your iPad until you sync the data to the cloud.
To do this, connect your iPad to an actual internet source (NOT Rapsodo WiFi) and open the Hitting application. On the left hand side there is a sync icon, please click on that and wait until it indicates ‘Cloud Sync Completed”.

Data and Accuracy
Proper set up is crucial to ensure accurate data! As well as adequate lighting, clean baseballs/softballs, and reading the user guide to make sure you have the most optimal setup possible. Calibration needs to be done prior to each session, too. This means the camera angles are as close to 90 and 20 degrees as possible, and the red line in the azimuth view is directly down the middle of home plate. We also do not recommend having fans blowing near the unit.

It is always best to fully sync your iPad. If you are recording videos and have Diagnostic mode ON we are storing this on your iPad locally until it syncs to the cloud- just because the data is synced to the cloud does NOT mean the app is fully synced. It is always best to fully sync after every use and you can check this by opening the app>Settings>Upload Progress, and all files should say DONE.

INSIGHT
General
INSIGHT can be charged two different ways:
- USBC cable
- Ethernet cable – this also powers on the flash.
Both of these options can charge the INSIGHT camera during use or while it’s off.
Application
You will need to use the latest version of the Pitching 2.0 app or Rapsodo Hitting app.
- Power on INSIGHT Camera (it takes a little bit longer to power on. You want to wait until you hear the fan running to move on)
- Power on RCE & Monitor
- Open Rapsodo Pitching 2.0 app or Rapsodo Hitting
- Tap Settings and make sure Insight mode it turned ON
- Select INSIGHT Pair
- Tap Settings and make sure Insight mode it turned ON
- Create Network (this should be a one time process)
- On the right, you should see the available wifi signals: INSIGHT and RCE PITCHING (or HITTING)
- Please note both the INSIGHT camera and RCE need to be powered on for this step
- Select ‘Create Network’ on the left side of the screen
- You will need to name the network – this needs to be exactly 6 characters
- Both wifi signals need to be dragged into the newly created network
- The INSIGHT wifi needs to be dragged over first
- You will receive a notification if they were successfully added
- On the right, you should see the available wifi signals: INSIGHT and RCE PITCHING (or HITTING)
- Open iPad settings and connect to INSIGHT wifi
- Go back to the Rapsodo Pitching 2.0 app or Rapsodo Hitting
- First, select the top wifi icon in the tool bar – this will connect the INSIGHT (INSIGHT always needs to be connected first)
- Once connected, you should see green next to the wifi icon
- Second, select the bottom wifi icon in the tool bar – this will connect the RCE (ground unit)
- First, select the top wifi icon in the tool bar – this will connect the INSIGHT (INSIGHT always needs to be connected first)
- All buttons on the left tool bar should be green which signals you are ready to go
**Please note: Step 4 to create the network should only need to happen during initial set up. Once it’s created, your normal set up does not need to include step 4.
**Please note: The INSIGHT unit should always be turned on FIRST then the pitching or hitting unit can be turned on.
Check out our connection video.
The wifi network can be created within the app under Settings > INSIGHT pair. On the right, you should see the available wifi signals: INSIGHT and RCE PITCHING (or HITTING). Select ‘Create Network’ on the left side of the screen. You will be prompted to name the network (this needs to be exactly 6 characters). Both wifi signals need to be dragged into the newly created network. You will receive a notification if they were successfully connected.
*Please note that the INSIGHT camera and RCE need to be powered on for this step.
Yes – In the app, INSIGHT always needs to connect before the ground unit. This can be done by selecting the top wifi icon in the tool bar first.
Videos sync to the cloud just like normal. They are accessible on the cloud next to each pitch or hit once synced. They can also be viewed in the app under the history tab or through team management for the player.
Setup
You will create a wifi network within the app that includes both signals. Once this is created, you will connect to only the INSIGHT signal under iPad settings.
The camera lens can be focused by adjusting the lens on the physical camera. Once it’s focused the lens can be tightened using the small screw/bolt so it does not shift.
The main difference between the lenses is how wide you want the shot. 6mm is a wider lens, while 16mm is smaller. 16mm is usually used for pitching to focus on the release to see precise hand placement. 6mm can be used to view the whole upper body during pitching or hitting sessions. The lenses can be swapped depending on use and focus of the session.
Insight Stream
We recommend using the flash indoors.
Depending on the lighting, and if flash is necessary. The exposure settings can be turned all the way up or set to around 900.
We do not recommend using the flash outdoors; even if it is dark or cloudy.
Depending on the outdoor lighting, the exposure can be turned all the way down and gain all the way up.
There are a few ways. First, you can change the trigger setting on the Insight config screen. The longer the trigger, the more video on both sides of the pitch or hit you will be able to see. The other way to change the length of the video is by changing the pre and post trigger slow mo. The smaller the percentages on each side, the less slow mo you will see. If both are set to 0, you will get the pitch or hit in real time. If both are 100%, the entire video will be slow mo. Normal percentages for pitch design are around 20% on each side.
FPS is the frequency rate at which consecutive images called frames appear on display. There are two different options to choose from 650fps and 850fps. 650fps is a larger video that allows for more of a full body view. While 850fps is a smaller and slower video that is more zoomed in. This view can focus more on grips and release during pitching sessions.
