Any Practice Day webcasts going on?

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

In addition to the webcasts, will NASA TV be broadcasting any FIRST regional events this weekend?

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

Found via Wildstang's website:
http://www.midwestfirst.org/live.php

Probably starts tomorrow.

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

New Jersey is up on NASA's page.

Midwest isn't up yet, but has the link:

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

Jersey is coming through perfectly:)

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

I keep having some odd episodes on the NJ webcast where it goes fully green for 1-5 seconds at a time.

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

Sounds like it's just the feed. I keep getting the green screen every now and then, too.

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

Thanks for the New Jersey link, really nice quality!

BTW, I think that the green screen is caused by the fact that the other cameras are not set up yet, and when the AV crew switches to another view (as they will during the actual matches) it just shows a green screen.

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

Thanks for the webcast! It's a good way to spend time @ school =D

Good luck to all teams!

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

The green screen is merely a chromakeying issue. The AV Crew is probably not bothering to set everything up perfectly for today, so when they switch from the ball randomizer (a full screen computer generated image), to the score display (a lower third computer generated image), they are probably manually invoking the keying instead of automatically.

That, or they're watching Star Wars like they were last year :-p

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

Are the team numbers on the bottom of the screen (scoring display) correct? A bot labeled as 1089 didn't look much like 1089 (looked a lot more like 25 to me).

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

The numbers would probably be correct for the teams in the original schedule, but it seems like certain teams are making very good use of the filler line :cool:.

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

Yeah, I just saw that too. This year though they have it so teams can stand in a line to be alternates if a team doesnt show up for a match. It was team 25, but whoever does the webcast probably doesnt feel like updating it each match, they just put in the schedule.

Midwest is up, but unstable:

EDIT: seems to be alright now.

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

neither is working for me NJ was working for a while but now neither work for me.

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

NJ might be off for the night, they already had their last practice match of the day about 10 minutes ago.

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

Practice matches at both regionals have ended so both feeds are probably down until tomorrow morning.

Re: Week 1 Webcasts
 

How could someone who can't watch all day, like me for instance, set up a computer and an external hard drive to capture and save the live feed from Midwest for later viewing. I really want to watch a lot of the matches and get a feel for the game, along with the fact that a lot of teams at Midwest will be at both of our Regionals. If anyone knows how I can set a computer up to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.
