What colleges said about this iPad Pro model

In a statement for Apple, Doug Aucoin, Louisiana State UniversityThe director of the video said: “The new iPad Pro with nanotextured display technology is incredible. If the nano-textured glass on the new iPad Pro wasn’t available, it would be almost impossible to view any shot on the field with glare coming from the sun.”
Aucoin operates a game day system based on the Catapult sports software that provides SEC coaches from the video just a few seconds after each playback is complete. Filming provided by team videographers, as well as game broadcast.
“As (tag teams play drops, distance, etc.), we’re in the background cutting video clips, syncing them up and sending video packages to the iPads, which are both in the coaches’ press box and on the sideline. It’s an easy-to-use and familiar interface — we can put an iPad with our software in the hands of coaches, and they’ll understand how to use the iPad’s touch elements.” Catapult Chief Product Officer Matt Byros noted.
Another tight ends coach in Berkeley, University of CaliforniaMike Safell added: “Having an iPad on the side makes practice much more effective in the game. Live feedback allows players and coaches to make quick corrections. It also makes the game more competitive as both teams can fix issues on the day of the game.”

Fairness, speed and high visibility are key components of the solution, and Apple’s latest iPad Pro and iPad Air truly stand out by providing a simple and elegant end-user experience.”
