As of right now, no not quite yet. We'll for sure have a majority of them in the stands placed at different strategic locations.

So far, I know that our team will definitely have a camera in the pits, on the robot, and at the driver station looking at the drivers' faces. Other angles aren't set in stone yet.

Did you have any in mind?

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

Do you know what the link would be for the live stream? I'm assuming this would be a separate stream from the NASA TV one, correct?

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

I don't yet.. we haven't agreed on a name for it yet. I'll post a URL as soon as I can though.

Actually, I know for a fact that a link will be placed on our homepage (mekheads.org) in the top right corner.

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

I would say that you could do one up above the stands perpendicular to the field. 1 up high above the stands behind each driver station overlooking the field and then 1 on each corner of the field closest to the stands looking towards the corner across the field from it. I'd also say if possible to have one camera just continuously pointed towards the score screen.

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

Those sound like great ideas. The ones behind the driver stations would be a little difficult, but we may be able to get them in.

In order to show the score continuously during matches without using the entire monitor, we can mask out the on-screen scoreboard from the jumbotrons and have it on the top right or left of our stream. This way we can show the score at all times while using our cameras for video.

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

How would those be difficult?

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

I was thinking they would have to go on the match floor for some reason.. Don't know why honestly. They won't be any mire difficult than any other camera, as long as we gave the cable length.

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

I meant that you could put them on the walkway behind the first level of stands behind the driver stations. So you could get a length-wise view of the field along with a width-wise view.

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

Yeah.. I don't know what I was thinking earlier.. it's been a long day. That does seem like a great idea, though. I just hope we have enough cable to do it.

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

Its just an opinion. I think you guys will pick great angles and will do awesomely. The main thing I would ask for is the width-wise shot from above the crowd, that be the angle you guys record.

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

Thanks a lot, we hope everything works out too. Which shot exactly are you talking about? The one focusing on the field width-wise?

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

Yes.

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

Yes that one will be recorded separately. In addition to that, the whole show will be recorded throughout the three days for archiving. I'll probably upload it somewhere, but I think the file size may be too large for YouTube. I may just cut portions out for things if we need them.

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

Well the width-wise recording you should send to thebluealliance.com so it can be split and archived.

Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast
 

That would be cool. We would really only be able to send it to them after it's recorded, since our Internet connection isn't quick enough to handle more than one stream simultaneously. We could definitely send it to them afterwards though.
