that was going to a suggestion for me, especially as there is no sound (for when the ladies use the mic and announce themselves.

Getting sound on would mean shedding out alot of money and messing with our broadcast set up (because the way it was set up in the first place)... as I have said before, getting sound on with the current set up would mean putting the onscreen graphics on the web-feed... or having audio out of sync by any amount of time... so to be honest, its less of a priority than to get the streams themselves working properly, as well as making the site look better (and more stable!)

understand, perhaps we can get the ladies to hold up placards!! ;-)

Hi BBLackey, concearning camera changes I have a quick question. Do the people viewing the webstream get to see the same thing as the people watching on SKY/Freeview?

The reason I ask is because I noticed that when there are two cameras on a set, the swapping has gotten really bad, especially yesterday on the formerly leopard print set. As I was watching Amanda wearing a blue/greenish outfit after midnight, the swapping of the cameras was very poor. Each time she would get into an interesting pose the other camera guy would jump in and she would start performing for that one. However, the feed still remained with the first cam guy on multiple occasions (and I mean a lot) resulting in tons of garbage shots of nothingness such as the floor, other empty sets, the bottom of the stage etc. It would last for extended periods of time, and when someone finally did realize this and switch the feed to the correct cam, the model would be in a resting position. As soon as she would go into another provocative pose, the cam guys would switch again, but the same problem with the feed switching would continue. I also noticed this happening with other models (Lily, Charlie) last night.

Ill forward this one of the guys in charge of the camera staff.

As for the question, the web stream should follow what is on Sky. I would say the exception is if they are doing a quick cut-away to another camera, and back to the original (there isnt a facility to fade to another camera with the web stream, just a harsh change)

Thanks for the info.

When I first saw it, t I thought "cool a behind the scenes angle," but that quickly faded once the image became a zoomed in and super shaky shot of an elbow lol.

whole lot seems to be down from 4.20ispm, also the virgin/ntl feed is frozen!! just as Fernanda is on!!

Cable was loose that fed internet, all should be up now

gone again, someones big foot has kicked the cable out again

I'm sorry to have to ask this, but when are you gonna tie your web-stream into the sky broadcast?

As half the time the web-stream looks nothing like the sky broadcast, ie constant shots of empty set when you change sets.

You don't have to switch the camera's manually, just tie it into the sky broadcast.
