Request for Pinnacle device to archive CT regional

[Joseph Bisch]

Does anyone have a video capture device they could loan me? I want to archive the Connecticut Regional for The Blue Alliance, but I do not have a video capture device.

It needs to be able to take the red, white and yellow cables as input, and then write the video file to a usb flash drive.

I already checked with Greg Marra, but he does not have a device to send.

I am currently verifying with CT FIRST that there will be a feed from the FMS to record.

I'd need it by the end of next week, and I can mail it right back to you after the regional.

There is currently no video of the CT Regional available on The Blue Alliance for the past 2 years.

Joseph, I have the Pinnacle but no experience with it! I'd love to help you set it up so I can learn how to do this as well since the Granite State regional hasn't had a complete video in 4 years!

I'll message you with more details!

I have a device that converts to firewire. It would need processing and clipping and all that good stuff.
Message me if you're interested.

[Joseph Bisch]

Thank you to both of you!

Jeff, I appreciate the offer, but I don't have a firewire hard drive to write the video to.

BrendanB, I would appreciate the help since I don't have experience archiving regionals. I will watch for that message!

Anybody gotten anywhere on this? I really hope it CTR gets archived this year, since it's been missing from TBA the last few. If nobody else has a way of doing this, I can probably set up one of my spare computers to record the webcast and then chop it up into matches...

[Joseph Bisch]

Phil, if you are able to, it would be a good idea to record the webcast. BrendanB will try recording matches Friday and Saturday using his Pinnacle device. I will be meeting up with Brendan on Saturday to discuss splitting up the video.

We tried getting confirmation that there would be an audio and video feed available. Last time I checked with Brendan, neither of us had received confirmation.

I got conformation today that there will be AV hookups like last year. It is the same company.

Jeff do you know where and when we should set up?

[plnyyanks]

Awesomeness. If I can get my VNC server up tonight, I'll try and record the stream too. If you guys need help splitting video, uploading to youtube, or anything else, let me know - I'm glad to help.

No, sorry. Just that there will be hookups the same as in previous years.

Set up my pinnacle today and recording for a while so if nothing goes terribly wrong I'll have CT recorded!
