I’m sure I seen @Skyline Drifter comment on a question like this the other day. Not me. No idea about rules on that to be honest. He will need to be tested to train with Hibs but they may well be doing that. I assume Dumbarton are not testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t watch a random test stream from one of the clubs who have it and decide “that’s pish, we’ll go with a cameraman and an expensive camera”. For us, and many others, the Pixelot service is the easiest and most affordable. To be fair thats pretty much exactly what happened in some cases. Ours for a start. Appreciate you need someone who knows what he is doing but its far cheaper to do it yourself than pay Pixellot too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Queen of the South buy all of the equipment to stream using a manually operated camera and if so how does that cost compare vs the Pixellot setup? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've purchased some IT stuff. We already had a camera itself for filming matches but then so do you as I've watched the excellent Sons TV before. It was cheaper than Pixellot by many thousands I believe. Edited October 4, 2020 by Skyline Drifter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorenzo71 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Surely we will see some transfer activity today.Can't believe we will go with 13 players ( does 1 not have covid?) for the game tomorrow.At least a back-up keeper is imperative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, and of course that is the big advantage of the Pixellot system in that it doesn't in theory need anyone to operate it unless you are adding commentary. It's damned expensive and there have been teething troubles with some of them (ours isn't working yet but that's BT's issue, not Pixellot's) but once it's in and working it runs itself. Our system will in my opinion be better, and it's significantly cheaper (even if we'd had to buy a camera and tripod it would be considerably less than half the cost) but it depends on having available personnel to film it and run the tech side which is a two man team every game. And then a commentary team on top, though we'd need that with Pixellot too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nobody turns up, no stream, no additional income. Even if people turn up every week there will be variable output depending on the experience of the cameraman. The alternative is an automated system, which guarantees a feed for every game. The certainty of having a feed for a PPV game for many clubs will outweigh dependence on the reliability of volunteers turning up every match. With the necessity to bring money in at the moment, I think we have got this right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

son hawk Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Signing news at 3.00pm according to Twitter Wonder how many and what positions?Would imagine it will be a keeper seeing as we only have one at the moment. Unless we plan on putting an outfield player down as a sub goalie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to all those who have made it possible. It might not be the Sky Sports standards that some folk seem to expect but it going to allow us to watch a game and, probably more importantly, more money to the club. I, for one, am looking forward to hearing all the effing and blinding from the players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I need a bit of technical advice about the streaming. Because it's best used through a browser, does that mean I can plug a laptop to the telly with an hdmi lead so I can watch on a bigger screen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's actually the best plan. I'll be doing the same. Pixellot also said the stream will work on all browsers but they found Google chrome gives the best results. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
