Maybe this has been discussed elsewhere, but it seems they're using a robotic camera for the internet feed from the Convo.  The camerawork is awful; they can't keep up with the action and about a quarter of the time the camera's fixed on the wrong end of the floor for ten or 15 seconds.  Seems like they have one person trying to do everything -- camera work, graphics and audio.  As a grad of the RTV school, I expect better from OU.

I've seen what I think is the camera at the games, and it is (to my knowledge) always run by a person. Not sure what's so hard about moving one camera back and forth to keep up with the action??

It's friday night....cameraman was probably uptown before game

The camera work is slow and the shot is limited.  I am of 2 minds...my first thought (and I keep coming back to it) is that its a better than nothing.

My other thought is around that whole OU is a laboratory and a training ground for life in the real world.   I am wondering aloud why they don't try to add a couple of cameras and actually let the students take a shot at producing this thing. What a great experience for some RTV students to call games.  It seems like a win-win to me.  I say set up the cameras, get a director and a crew and do this thing.  I'd think the WOUB guys would be all over this. Especially with THIS team.  Alumni from all over the country are going to be interested in seeing them as their success builds.  Great advertising for the school.

I have to think that there would even be a few advertising dollars available to support it...I'd pay for a subscription.

I'd hope they'd simulcast it with Russ and Rob - but in all fairness - they should get a bump in pay....its only fair.  Now that being said and in light of the whole Ohio is a laboratory thing...some of the kids who do The Sports Fan on WATH get to be pretty decent eventually and could probably do a half decent job.   

There was a student production of home basketball games on WOUB II as well.

I was going to ask the same question. In the past, it has always looked like video. Now it looks like a Skype session. I was watching the EMU game last night and their video is much better than Ohio's. In listening to the radio broadcasts, it sounds like there have been major technical difficulties at the Convo. Maybe they are impacting the feed?
