Live Streaming and Recording of Events

[Max Boord]

As a COD and Battlefield streamer I love twitch tv bandwidth is a non issue and the stream lag is acceptable (sometimes 5-10 seconds) I heard they implemented a system that increased this delay but have not tested myself.

I suspect internet bandwidth might be part of the problem with the low quality streams. I have had success with a blue snowball ($60) on a tripod for audio. Set up by the stands it gets a very nice mix of music and MC along with being very difficult to clip. Another problem is frame rate as 720p 10 fps is not acceptable any year where things fly through the air.

An idea to make things more interesting would be to cut out the constant FIRST sponsor adds and replace it with event standings, upcoming match info or even a shot the teams walking off the field.

I've heard stories of Twitch banning for not streaming gaming-related content, so I wouldn't count on being able to stream there.

Livestream.com has always been great for streaming IRL content in my experience. Their system is a little closed and I haven't used it to stream in a while, but their services are great.

KC was streaming on Twitch yesterday (With music/mc/video), and they got BANNED for copyright music apparently! Today they're on UStream and only streaming video.
I'm working on an email to FIRST HQ giving them my comments on this topic and suggestions on improving it in the future (including getting comments from those who have streamed events in the past) and including a link to this topic.
I'm surprised with how much they work with Show Ready Events to ensure the same feel of events in person, that they have never set a standard for themselves when it comes to virtual viewers of events, who will be watching long after the event ends.

This would be unusual, can anyone confirm?

We were banned from Twitch while streaming the NYC Regional. Not for music copyright though, for "nongaming content". We were displeased to say the least and have still yet to receive a response from Twitch on the matter.
