Anyone have any mail contacts at BBC? I would like to ask them.. Badminton is probably one of the sports that would gain the most from 3D recording!! There is so much depth and speed that gets lost compared to live with camera placement and Zoom that shrinks the depth perspective even further!!
makes no difference if they continue to use a top-down vertical camera angle. They should learn from the Swiss!
ya, anytime the top of the net is seen "inside" the baseline in the end-on view, there's practically no depth perception... i wish bwf would learn to correct this soon :crying:
what about other sports? anyone knows if any sport be broadcast in 3D during the Olympics? volleyball, basketball or whatever... sports would benefit hugely from 3D broadcast..
just found this in Wikipedia NBC, CCTV, BBC and Nine Network announced they will broadcast the Games in 3D.[SUP][10][/SUP][SUP][11][/SUP][SUP][12][/SUP][SUP][13][/SUP] NBC also announced they partner with YouTube to provide the livestream of the events.[SUP][14][/SUP] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2012_Summer_Olympics_broadcasters
Minimum . No way there will be Olympics game footage on BWF channel due to all kinds of rights, regardless of whether or not it (badminton) will be even shown in any given country at all.
For millions of badminton fans around the world, you have to rely on hahasports and badmintonlink. I wonder if BWF or IOC will conduct a crackdown on them just before the Olympics start.
Would be typical, BWF crackdown on people being able to watch badminton so you will not be able to see China openly cheat with walkovers.
BWF should have no influence at all on Olympic broadcasts. Those rights have been sold for billions of dollars already to host broadcasters in every country who as you might remember from 2008 are responsible to contain the online streams to local ip's only. Wouldn't even know if the betting sites where hahasport get their stream from most of the time (and in turn copied from hahasport by badmintonlink) will be allowed to stream videos from the games ... Your local broadcaster could have multiple streams available on their website, including the badminton games. We captured plenty of matches in 2008 from our local broadcasters website . But I don't recall seeing any of it on tv as well ... (don't think we had any participants then so could be better this time )
I read that BWF tries to promote badminton by providing Live Streaming of Super Series games from QF onwards (except in host country). What I don't understand is why some countries (eg. Singapore) are denial the Live Streaming (eg. India Open & BAC). Plus, Live Streaming was stopped "mid-way" while some matches still on-going. I hope BWF can iron out the Live Streaming issues soon, for the benefits of badminton fans worldwide.
Because some countries have tv channels that paid for the broadcast rights, like Singapore Malaysia (Super/Astro Sports) for which subscribers pay their monthly fee . Obviously they cannot provide it for free there when their source of income has paid them for the rights (nor do they need to make it more popular there). And please don't bring the table tennis argument in here, probably means their state of affairs is even sadder TV money makes the sports world go around, so do we really need this pitiful discussion around here every now and again (it has been done to death )
