- To Do
- Address jittering video - fixed!
- Shorten ethernet cable - done
- replace both HDMI cables - done
- Livestream Highlights
- Huh?? Not sure what happened here!
- Lessons Learned
- Avoid downtime! Don't get distracted by the three different delays. Pay attention to OBS!
- Triple check audio levels on videos! - Traffic was super harsh.
- Need a better audio source - I accidentally clicked on trip-hop pomp and circumstance….Maybe we should separate the Processional and Recessional playlist…
- Harshness when I turned on the external mic Next time, mix in the audience ambience from the start!
- Finn's scene didn't have video Check on this
- Disable Windows Sound Effects! Better yet…use linux
- Have a scene at the end for fading to black.
- Have a higher and farther angle to show the staff
- Have all cameras at the same resolution so video is at 1080p
- Watch for audio bugs because the right side cut out during the ceremony

- Lessons Learned
- When livestream is over, don't forget to “end live stream” on Youtube.
- Mix in more crowd volume…careful not to create weird doubling effect.
- Double check audio levels on all videos. https://youtu.be/TnJtBNQjFSg?t=2860
- Preview video feed for jitter before switching

2021.06.02
Graduation has been moved inside, to the gym. New challenges:
- Gym mixer only has one output…which is (of course) in use.
- Fixed - created a cable to splice in between the mixer and the amplifier. Line is hot, so had to attenuate the signal quite a bit..
- WESR may need to bring their own mics, because there are no outputs on our mixer.
- Camera setup
- From half-court table
- Basketball Goal (behind speakers, overlooking gym)?
- Internet Access tested okay from the gym hallway.
- Created holding pattern animation
- Created blank title overlay
- Created channel brand. (Think NBC logo in the bottom right corner)
- Created OBS scenes for each section of the ceremony.
- Imported extended slideshow as a scene.

Soccer vs Northampton - 2021 Boys Senior Night
- Thanks Brandon, Rawlings, and Shawn for your help!
- Youtube Links
- Video stream was very choppy. Needs more bandwidth. Cell tether not sufficient.
- Ethernet Connection
- Audio.
- Need crowd audio…something for the background, so it isn't just silence.
- Need an RCA Aux cable to pipe audio into the atem.
- Need to set audio levels. (Video1 08:26)(Video2 01:35)
- (Video2 04:22 - can hear me turning down the level on the Atem)
- PA Mic 2 has terrible hum…maybe check mic levels and other PA settings. (Video1 07:35 in; Video2 starts out with the hum…could be cell phone interference)
- Cable management - HDMI can be run under bleachers.
- Tripods!! No “Blair Witch” soccer!
- ATEM loses connection to computer. Need a better USB Cable.
- Cameras
