BSSD NYO
I am sitting in the Hageland terminal in Nome. I am on my way home from the Bering Strait School District Native Youth Olympics Championships, which was held in Shaktoolik this year. PK and I were sent there to help facilitate a few local students in broadcasting the events. We just got some new video mixing equipment for the district that we used for the event. It was really nice. We were able to have up to 4 video inputs. Each input has its own tiny TV monitor, so you can see which camera you want to have being broadcasted out. You can then transition between them, have picture in picture, and even do live chroma keying (delete the background like with a green screen). We also had four 20 meter firewire cables and special repeaters that allowed us to hook them end to end. We hooked one into a GL2 and mounted it on the wall of the gym, for a high angle view. We used two others, one into a GL2, and the other into a smaller canon dv camera like a zr85 that were mobile and could be moved around the gym to get the desired camera angle. The person running the switcher was able to switch between any of the feeds at any time to show the audience the different events. We did a few live interviews of the athletes and a coach. If we would have had some more equipment we could have been set up a little better and done more of them. It was a lot of fun though.
