nylyon-(Admin) 7,273 #1 Posted June 5, 2014 Doesn't it just frost you when you see all these posts about how excited everyone is about going to the show? Well this is another year of that right? Everyone's going but me.... So you going to do what you did last year? Yeah you remember, you came here, right here to waiting anxiously for....... pictures... Yep the generous guys who take the pictures. When those first pictures start to roll in, how do ya feel? Well a little better right, but still wishing there was more so you wait for the next one and the next one..... This year in conjunction with Terry from ReDoYourHorse.com will be streaming LIVE from the show! There will be at least one web cam established at the show which will be broadcasting live right here on RedSquare the show. Miss the parade? Not this year, we'll be streaming it live to you! Now don't get too excited, this is a first time trial effort, and we'll certainly do our best to get your show urges satisfied, but it will be the first time that the WHCC show is brought to you live! 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,273 #3 Posted June 5, 2014 So I know what some of you are thinking... Yeah... BIG DEAL, I'm working no way I can watch anyway.... Well... part of the inspiration comes from Ian. Now, Ian is an interesting chap. He seems all rough and mechanical (and he really is a master crafter) but this guy is incredibly brilliant with video (and everything he touches), and if you haven't seen them, you are missing something. So anyway, Ian was messing around with YouTube and live streaming with the added effect that the video is retained for later viewing. So work... rubbish, watch when you come home, fast forward like Tivo, but most of all enjoy like you're there! I really hope that this works well, other wise I got some explaining to do! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,434 #8 Posted June 5, 2014 Not to be the eternal pessimist, but I hope you have found a reliable way to access the web. At best I have been lucky to get a phone signal much less a reliable internet connection. If you have, why not set up a WiFi hub for us as well.

nylyon-(Admin) 7,273 #9 Posted June 5, 2014 I contacted the fairgrounds, there is NO internet service. Of all the major cellular providers Verizon has the best service there. Terry purchased a Verizon Jetpack and RedSquare donated a bunch of data for the plan. I intend to bring my MacBook Pro secure it to a tractor in the RS area and stream via the built-in camera and mic. So that's the plan. Will it be broadcast quality like the olympics? Nope, but it's the best that we can do. The Jetpack is a wi-fi hub BUT it shouldn't be opened to everyone. With hundreds of internet capable devices at the show, the data would be consumed in a heartbeat. I still need to talk with Terry exactly how we'll coordinate everything, but this is the high level plan. This is NOT intended to replace the pictures or other video's which everyone will take and post, but to give a live view of the show. Best quality? Probably not, but it should be leaps and bounds above previous show live feeds! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,713 #10 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I think this is very cool, but I am concerned that I will look fat on TV. I hope you guys at home just love listening to Kohler engines run all day...there is a ton of background noise with all of the people riding around.

Coadster32 793 #14 Posted June 7, 2014 Pretty cool idea, and great minds behind this. I can't make this years show, but perhaps can catch some of the show in this manner. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunny 240 #15 Posted June 12, 2014 Looking forward to seeing all the horses and their owners on the "big screen". I do not know if it will take the place of being there, last year was a first time experience for me, but I hope to be able to see the parade. I know all in attendance will have many good stories to share. Dennis 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwl 75 #17 Posted June 13, 2014 this sounds like a great idea. My work time isn't going to allow me to go, and it is a long ways from here, so I was just going to sit back and wait for the photo albums to appear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
