Just finished a 3 day webcast of the NCWSA Collegiate Water Ski National Championships. I truly enjoy doing this event where I get to combine my passions for water skiing and webcasting. Three solid days of uninterrupted streaming over 10 hours each day.

New additions this year was the use of an Amimon Connex wireless HDMI transmitter to transmit flawless 720P/60 HD video from the boat and the use of Speedify.com bonded internet service with a Verizon MiFi and AT&T iPhone as the hotspots for uninterrupted streaming.

With events taking place simultaneously on 2 separate lakes, it was tricky to get all competitors, but the Video Delay feature along with some Triggers and Shortcuts made it much easier.

Enjoy

Yea, last year I piped the onsite music through the webcast and had much of the audio completely muted. This year, I did not run the onsite music through the webcast, but the announcers mics picked up just enough of the music to get flagged. Most of the songs just prevented me from monetizing the video and only blocked it completely in Germany. Only 1 song out of a 10 hour webcast caused the entire video to be blocked in most countries around the world, including US and Canada. . . very frustrating. Fortunately, as the creator, I could still access the video. I was able to create my own copy of the video and edit the soundtrack using the Sony Vegas Noise Gate to mute the soundtrack during periods of low volume. That did the trick and I reloaded the video last night.
