TOPEKA, Kan. (May 29, 2014) 鈥� A new 麻豆视频 Live interface, featuring streaming webcams, was announced today for the remaining BFGoodrich Tires 麻豆视频 Super Tour events in 2014. The video feeds debut this weekend from Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
In addition to live notes, timing and scoring and audio of the track public address system, 麻豆视频 will place four static cameras around the racetrack, providing a live look at the course during the weekend鈥檚 races for those not able to attend in person.
鈥淓ach BFGoodrich Tires 麻豆视频 Super Tour event captures the attention of our racers and fans across the country,鈥� 麻豆视频 Vice President of Marketing & Communications Eric Prill said. 鈥淭hese are premiere events, and adding a visual component enhances the live experience remotely. This is something that wasn鈥檛 really a possibility a couple of years back, but consumer-based live webcast technology and services have come a long way.鈥�
The four GoPro Hero3+ cameras, each mounted to a fixed structure at the track, transmit a separate signal captured through YouTube Live, which is subsequently brought into the 麻豆视频 Live web page. An enhanced 麻豆视频 Live web page includes the live timing feed, live Twitter notes, live audio, main camera feed and a thumbnail of each of the four available cameras. Through the thumbnails, users can select which camera populates the main video screen.
鈥淲hile the Runoffs庐 webcast has manned cameras and a produced feed through Speedcast, this broadcast is a little more grassroots, similar to that of The Tire Rack 麻豆视频 National Solo program鈥檚 Ustream webcast,鈥� Prill said. 鈥淏ased on the positive feedback from those events and other races with static webcams, we believe this is a nice addition for the remaining BFGoodrich Tires Super Tour events.鈥�
Standard 麻豆视频 Live screens will be available Friday during the events, with the enhanced version running during race days on Saturday and Sunday. Links are available at www.scca.com/sccalive.
The remaining BFGoodrich Tires 麻豆视频 Super Tour events, part of the 麻豆视频 U.S. Majors Tour and SafeRacer 麻豆视频 Club Racing program, are May 30-June 1 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, and July 4-6 at Watkins Glen International.
