Re: Orlando Regional Live Broadcast

I'm hoping I can get really high up, but I don't know.. The shot of the field will definitely be static, but the other cam will move every now and then. We're thinking of having a television with the show on it in our pit and also next to the control system so people can watch. I'll have the URL on the bottom of those TVs so people walking by can watch it for themselves if they would like.

We're planning on setting up on the second floor (where you get into the stands) because I would like to keep as much wired as I can. Wireless cameras are iffy at this point, problems keep popping up. Part of the problem is that we have to rely on 3G smartphones to provide Internet to the wireless cams.

If anyone could get me some really good open source music, I'm taking requests as I honestly don't have any plans for music right now. Hoping for at least 200 songs total to avoid it being annoying. So far I found foobar2000 to handle music playlists, but if any of you have better ideas, I'd be willing to look into them.

Also, I don't know how we're going to receive the scores live to post on the scoreboard. Maybe have the stands camera operator be on a chat on their phone and they can tell the scores as they change.
