Note the better quality webcasts from the PNW and MI district events last weekend.

Ugh....

Would you guys be able to record them and upload later? As potato quality is hardly worth watching. Atleast elims?

I can confirm 1678 will be webcasting the event. The students have packed up our necessary equipment and will likely start broadcasting practice matches tomorrow. See the post above mine for an embedded link.

Unfortunately, we will not be permitted to use our HD set up at CVR this year, which will likely be true for all three events we attend (CVR, SAC and SVR). This is out of our hands, and has to do with union regulations regarding "broadcasted events" and the labor fee's that FIRST pays to Show Ready Events.

We are not happy about this decision, but we have been instructed from the Regional Director level that this is how it will be in CA this year. The quality of these broadcasts is not what we want to provide the FRC Community, and we apologize in advance for any viewing frustration this may cause. We hope you'll still enjoy cheering on your favorite California teams this weekend.

See you all soon.

Just one more reason to love districts. FIRST doesn't have to pay a company to setup the event. We can do most of the event planning and setup ourselves.

I really hope this is an option...... I'm so sick of crappy streams.

That said, I'm super excited to see what happens this weekend.

All,

I spoke too soon.

Our Webcasting Student Team Leader just informed me that, at least for CVR, we will be providing a full-field HD broadcast. Future events (Sac and SVR) are still up in the air.

We will be archiving HD as well and will upload after the event.

Hooray!

-Mike

Happy to hear that, Mike. I wasn't looking forward to watching potato cam for an entire weekend. Good luck, 1678!

Thank you for helping push the FIRST community to have better live streams.
I have one question, why does your team continue to use YouTube for live streams when we already know the problems that exist when copyrighted music is played? There are various other options that don't have this problem. Either way, thank you!

Just a guess since I'm no longer an official member of the team: we were previously banned from twitch due to their "video games only" policy, so this may be to avoid that trouble again.

That seems a little odd to me, as twitch regularly has streams that broadcast talk shows, board games (chess), tabletop games (D&D), and card games (MTG). Many of these are, at one time or another, extremely popular.

That was a problem before, but Twitch has become a bit more lenient these days. I think 2 or 3 live streams during week 1 were on Twitch.

Twitch is not the only solution, USTREAM and Livestream are other options. PNW FIRST uses USTREAM because it is a generally a solid platform, I don't know if we have tried using Twitch, but I don't think we will need to switch in the near future.

Livestream is cool with the whole rewind thing (though we already do near instant uploads), but there are a few drawbacks, specifically you need the actual site open, so GameDay becomes useless.

Wait, you're judging at CVR? Cool one week behind the glass as elimination partners, next week judging together at CVR
