Live Coverage of JEEcamp

During the JEEcamp unconference I was live blogging the event using CoverItLive. The full transcript is still available here. I also did some videos along the way, scroll down and enjoy.

Video Coverage

The live video coverage was not as successful as I had hoped. the Bambuser video was simply useless, and the audio on the Qik equivalent was poor to say the least. Luckily my LX3 held up nicely and I secured a nice collection of JEEcamp clips that was uploaded to Vimeo. A few are also embedded here.

    Hi Kasper,

    Glad to see that you tried Bambuser for the Live coverage, of course not so good to hear that it didn’t work very well. Since we have a total focus on keeping the video as close to real time as possible, we use a slightly different approach than most our competitors. In most cases this means significantly lower delay, but in cases where the network is really poor it means that a lot of the data is not sent in real time providing a choppy video. However all data that is not transmitted in realtime is stored on the device and is available for uploading immediatelly after the broadcast is finished. If you go to “Options”->”Complement” in the Bambuser application you will find uncompleted data available for uploading. This will make the videos complete for on demand viewing. Please feel free to contact me with any feed back or questions.

    Cheers

  2. Hi Jonas,
    That was exactly the case. Wifi connection was very poor and unstable. Main problem with bambuser was the lack of frames, the video was simply missing frames throughout the entire video. Only a few frames were being displayed, as far as I remember audio was OK.

    I’ve since talked with other bambuser users and they haven’t had the same problems, so I guess I was just unlucky.

    Thanks for responding.
