The people providing the random feeds around the grounds are Steve and Michael Wylie, Paul and myself. Steve and Michael are using a Professional HD camera and are encoding the feed on the fly using a VidiU encoder. For the roaming video data connections, we are using both ATT and Sprint hotspots. We are finding that is working pretty well so far; however there are times that the stream does drop out because of the quality of cell service and the number of people that are here. It will be interesting to see how well this works when the large crowds arrive.
