Cornell 4 at RPI 3, 2/4/17

[Jim Hyla]

there seemed to be some confusion on the one offsides late, but watching live I thought RPI sent the puck back into their own end so there wasnt any offsides to be called even with the cornell player already inside the zone?   i didnt bother to record the stream to try and replay it

Out-of-sync or not, they still do a great job. Seeing their cameras and comparing to what I've seen of ours, we need to upgrade. I have to think that some of the quality issues are due to that. Anybody know more about cameras?

I also think some of it has to do with the better camera angles they are able to get at Houston vs. Lynah.  We've had the suggestion to put cameras in the rafters at Lynah, and I'd like to see that tried.

they wont even spend the money to get replay cameras that have more than like 5 frames a second, not sure they will ever worry about the tv production cameras.  most of the cell phones in the bldg have better video capabilities.

The lighting at Lynah has hotspots directly under each lamp, perhaps because they're so close to the ice.

It may also be that the the main game action camera(s?) are set to autoexposue and underexpose the feed. A camera or video camera is fooled by a light background, the ice, thinks it's not white but a very brightly lit neutral gray and so underexposes. When the ice level camera goes for a closeup, you see more uniform, goalie pads, red pants - things that aren't all white - and does a better job exposure-balancing.

Whenever I watch ILDN i've noticed that our home games have a pretty white ice surface, yet roughly the top half of the picture (which includes about 1/3 the ice width) is distinctly dimme.  So action at the far side of the ice (away bench) is harder to make out than on the home bench side of the ice.
