Except it's not. Please fix this. Baseline HD stream requirements for all events. Include equipment/connectivity/staffing in budget or find a team/volunteers who can handle it.
Multi-cam setups are ideal for the big screens at the events, but for online, a single full-field view is optimal. Perhaps offer both?
THIS!!
FIRST needs to take the lead on this. Want to know how to "Make it Loud"?
Start with broadcast standards and then add logistical support and financial support to ensure those standards.
If a regional can't meet the standards then they should not be allowed to broadcast. Not having a webcast would be better than some of the broadcasts that I attempted to watch.
There were instances in which I wanted to direct a sponsor, a friend, my school, or a potential mentor to a regional webcast, but then decided not to tell them, because the broadcast quality was so bad.
Lets fix this!!
