Re: RPI @ Union (NC, 10/30), Army @ RPI (10/31)
Hey guys,
RPI TV will be covering this weekend's game vs. Army live on campus cable and B2 networks. Since we're broadcasting on campus cable, I rigged up my TV's capture card to broadcast the game on Ustream here:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/rpi-tv-channel-6-stream---live-football-and-hockey
Note that due to contract bull**** with B2, the above stream is "unofficial" and not actually provided by RPI TV. Next year, we anticipate being free of B2, which will allow us to stream all home games for free for students and alums and at a small price for the general populace. Under our current terms with B2, RPI TV sees absolutely no financial return from providing them with our stream. RPI TV is a student-run, union-funded, volunteer based video and television club at RPI.
Here's some highlights of what you can expect from RPI TV:
- Five camera angles, including an overhead faceoff camera and two ice level cameras
- Live scoreboard with penalty and scoring information
- Audio provided by WRPI (with increased crowd ambiance)
- Player titles with basic information and statistics
- Instant Replays (still a work in progress)
As always, RPI TV maintains a back catalog of hockey games which can be viewed on our website for free here:

We're always looking for ways to improve our productions, so feedback is appreciated via email at
sports@rpitv.org, or contact me directly at
hamilr2@rpi.edu.
We'll also be covering both of next weekend's games against Yale (Black Friday) and Brown, so make sure you check out my Ustream next weekend as well.
A number of us will be at the Union game tonight (section 6) if you'd like to say hello.
