This is really cool, because since this is team 326's first time out to the Pittsburgh Regional, it will be really nice to have the rest of our family and friends to be able to watch the webcast from over 250 miles away at our hometown of Romulus, Michigan.. So I'd like to thank team 291 for do this :P

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

WOOHOO! Thanks, guys. Now how about a robot pic? :)

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

I am setting up a high power wifi system at PITT, with a bandwidth of 300 mbps if you need any help with communications within the arena let me know I'll give you access to the system. The system will also have a scouting database available to all teams :) and for rookie teams if any there might be tutorials and interesting videos.

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

Hey Thanks for webcasting the regional...i love it and hope to see yinz there

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

looks good fellas, but someone should tell the video people to have the camera switch to the field to see the robots instead of only the scores?

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

I am only getting the scores and a white screen? Is this the same for everyone?

Edit* Oh and thanks 291 for giving me a chance to see my team in actions! Best of luck to all teams there!

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast

Well I hear Audio and I see the normal FIRST screen but uh one small issue...

The volume is way to low!!!!. I can barely hear the Head Ref talking. :eek:

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

Post up how it is after matches start and if needed I'll track down the team to see if they can make adjustments.

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

video is good, but the audio to video is bad. the video is about 13 seconds behind audio.

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

Amen!

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

I would but I've tried it in the past, they don't like when I bother them while at a regional...lol

Best thing you can do now is refresh the awards page

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

bah fooey.... :(

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

I am just grateful they did the webcast. I am home in Drexel Hill and it was great to watch 357, 337, 2614 win Pittsburgh. It was a real exciting finals and playoffs. Thanks again to CIA for doing the webcast.:D

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

all the awards are on the first site just to tell yah.

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

CIA! Thank you so much for doing this!

Is it archived or to be archived anywhere?

Re: 2008 Pittsburgh Regional Webcast
 

Yes - I hope to archive the matches on Team291.org as soon as possible (we archived on DVD instead of straight from the webcast for higher quality, so it will take me a little longer to get loaded up).

I apologize for the low volume and/or poor audio for a majority of the webcast - I was monitoring the audio from the broadcast software and not from the webcast itself. You would think the audio check on the broadcast software would be the same as on the webcast, but I guess not. Anyway - I only found out about the volume problems after the event was over and it will be fixed for any future webcasts our team hosts.

Also, I did not mean for the webcast to go down before the awards, the AV team at the regional unknowingly cut the AV in to the webcast computer before the awards because they wanted to tear down quickly.

Thank you to everyone (AV Team, Pittsburgh Regional Coordinators, etc.) who helped to make this webcast happen!
