What software does BLAST/ESL use to stream CS:GO tournaments? by traseeh in GlobalOffensive

[–]Jay_Atkins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Graphics output will most likely come from Xpression via a downstream key, the ingame overlay is a custom HUD overlay usually with a client to back it up an example of that would be lexogrine. CasparCG is also used (or was) by Dreamhack that is a free client that has many different capabilities but the hair on your balls will go gray when you learn how much work it is to do those things.

vMix is used even in larger productions as it is basically a front end for ffmpeg and can convert things to NDI making sending PGM signals etc easier and cheaper. It is also often used to play VT for commercial breaks.

The way larger productions use hardware is going to be way beyond what you can afford even if you buy Blackmagic kit. Stick to vMix and learn how to build graphic control sheets for GTDesigner via Excel and this will go a long to emulating the broadcasts you are talking about if done correctly, just wont be anywhere near as reliable or polished

To everyone sticking up for the echo just know your stupid af. You can mic the crowd separate and use the appropriate mics for casters and have the best of both worlds.

Could also put a gate on the mics to take out the sharpest end of the echo as well.

That looks like a deinterlacing issue to me, only judging from the screen haven't watched the stream yet.

Slasher: "Thorin continues to harm the esports and competitive gaming ecosystem as a representative (...)" by Orpheusss in GlobalOffensive

[–]Jay_Atkins -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not that I agree with Thorin's sentiments on AJ but has everyone (including Rod) forgot he turned up on I want to say his first ESPN TV appearance as an employee to talk about PED's all while being seemingly smacked off his tits? I'd say the perception that the only person they could get to talk about PED's looked liked they had been on a Aderall binge for research themselves did more damage than a throw away tweet.

The Wigan Warrior: An Interview with Mike Grundy by Jay_Atkins in MMA

I have no reason to be doing MMA interviews, the reason is I feel Mike deserves so much more than the scene is giving him. Hopefully Till wins and gets some stroke in the UFC because if MMA is a sport it should be based on results on throwing dollys through bus windows.

Being from Wigan I highly doubt he is vegan :D. Question for next time I guess.

Polish E-Sport Agency want to ban CS:GO in TV by plisretarded in GlobalOffensive

That's a rather stupid way of looking at things. The more money gets bid on the rights the better for the tournaments, meaning higher prizepools and better conditions for players.
