Here's the disconnect - stop thinking of FRC video replay on the same level as NFL, NHL, MLB, etc. video replay. We'll never be at that level. When you stop thinking of it being the same as a professional sporting event, it becomes drastically simplified.
What we can do easily is provide a setup to both provide a high quality webcast (higher quality than many have today at least - not the same level as areas with fantastic video production teams i.e. PNW, Orlando) and record that same video feed locally.
Here's what we use for our setup in case anyone needs to see a diagram of how this works. It's painfully easy to setup, spent maybe an hour setting it up by myself for St. Louis. We didn't even have a volunteer to run it, I would just occasionally check up on it. Having 1 dedicated volunteer or a couple to swap out means you can do fancier stuff, but it's really not required to sit at the laptop constantly all day. A field reset person could hang out there while taking a break just to make sure it still looks good.
