I don't think you get how that system works. Did you see similar issues with the other game streams? Nope. Telstra didn't supply the pc microphone and camera, the clubs did that's whey the souths game looked a lot crisper cause they used a better camera & video encoder, quite simple. Nor is a single camera and mic stream an event to roll out the techs & engineers. Bulldogs IT would have been given an address to upload the stream to. Sending equipment & personnel costs money, Every club has a mic, a PC and a video camera & tripod.
That constant stuttering through the stream was the PC that was doing the encoding struggling to keep up hence the many skipped frames. Any multi core pc from the last 4-5 years with a H264 capable GPU would not have run into that issue. Sure telstra/ookla should have been far more specific about the pc requirements to run that stream but I'm sure they didn't expect a rich club to dig around in the basement and dust off a beige box. The club claims to have the best facilities but that's what gets dished up to it's fans.
Kids in their mums basement are able to stream 1080p live gaming and commentary from a single gaming PC so how is it a professional football club cannot? How can a mobile phone (Ok shaky as hell) provide a better stream than the bulldogs stream.
maybe because we are a football club and not an i.t company and its a trial and its something the club didn't have to do but chose to for the people who weren't able or weren't bothered to go to the game, something they did for free.
You're obviously an I.T guru so why don't you offer your services next time? It may give you a chance to tell Raelene how to run the club too since you're an expert at everythg
