Re: Disappointed by Kickoff webcast quality

I think the original poster in this thread was referring to issues caused by the production of the show rather than the webcast itself. For example, as mentioned previously, having that moving, cloud background with the FIRST logo behind it caused the webcast encoder to have to waste a lot of bits encoding this movement. A static image would have allowed more of the bandwidth to be dedicated to encoding the faces and movement of the speakers rather than the background. The other problem was that all of the overlay text (which showed people's names and, more importantly, provided the password for the manual) was way too small and unreadable after it was encoded.

These issues are no one's fault, however in the future it would improve the webcast greatly if the production of the kickoff event took the webcast into account for things like this.
