Title: Video at Colgate
Post by: jkahn on January 28, 2012, 06:49:30 PM
Colgate 24 hour pass is $5.95,  Just google Colgate University Hockey, go to the schedule and click on details next to tonight's game.

Easier yet just go to the Cornell athletics site and click on the little video icon that appears on the listing for Men's Hockey .  It's on the right side of the home page.

When Cornell played at Colgate Saturday with 950 heavy-hitter Cornell alumni gathered at a conference in D.C., Cornell U (alumni affairs) trusted the Raider feed enough to put it on a 24-foot screen. I saw only one freeze during the game, quickly resolved, and the only glitch was uneven volume levels on account of the Colgate announcer going wild and his voice raising +30 dB in the third period with each Colgate score. The flanking screens were matching images from Lynah Rink that appeared to be an unwavering, unbroken feed running more than five hours with no glitches. So maybe Cornell can do a high quality Lynah feed; cynics say it was a JPG projected locally. There were also a bunch of flat panel displays showing the basketball game. Nice venue except for the outcome.

I see far too many people there not watching the hockey. Ten demerits to each.

There were distractions. The food and beverages were free and plentiful. Ditto ice cream trucked in from Ithaca. All this free after you paid ~$200 to attend CALC and $200 a night for the hotel and after you got yourself to D.C. But you also got to see the David Skorton victory tour earlier at lunch as Cornell basked in the glow of taking down Stanford in the battle of Roosevelt Island. The weekend also affirmed the wisdom of our decision to attend a university of great writers ... the greatest writer of late being Charles Feeney '56.

Considering that the images were of a Lynah as it existed several years ago (old pressbox, no tunnel through Section C), I'd be more inclined to go with JPG than live feed.

An open mind would allow for the possibility that the flanking screens showed a live feed from Lynah, just running a little behind.
