[@aasolutions505]

Thank you

[@huynhngocnamgiang]

thank you so much for this! can't wait for you to cover the scoreboard graphic. I always wonder how they can get the data on screen so fast in live games

For things like balls and strikes it's typically just someone typing it in. Major broadcasters have all kinds of software to automate things. Look at the video links in the description. For more complicated stuff in baseball, you can look up Statcast, which tracks everything everyone does during baseball games.

Just watched your presentation today. Thought it was great....well thought out and produced. I've been in broadcasting for 40 years and have broadcasted 1,000's of games over the years. I would tell any viewer to spend good money to get great brands. I've done it all and wasn't' real happy with "cheaper-priced" products because they can't do a very good job. YOU pay for what you get. Sennheiser and Shure mics are really the best. Headsets are "all" I ever use. If you are serious about sports broadcasting buy great stuff. And when it comes to laptops, I started with Windows. It's all I had and unfortunately I had lots of trouble staying "on the air"! I know a lot of broadcasters who use MacBook Pro laptops and I didn't have the money to buy one until, one year I got a good tax refund and purchased one. It was the best decision I ever made. After the purchase I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM with our program staying on. Apple is really the best Ive ever used, period! I loved you production tho...

Hey, do you have a way I can speak with you? I have a few questions about my setup

[@VincentsKonsulat]

I am from europe so i dont know much about baseball. But why is there commercial brakes without commercials?

[@jameslynch5124]

How powerful of a laptop do you need to be able to handle the input of HD cameras and heaps of mics going through the streaming platforms and being uploaded at a high bitrate? I've got a decent laptop but I can imagine it would get overheated pretty quickly.

[@TheOnDeckCircle]

It wouldn't hurt, but not a powerful as you might think. If you have multiple cameras, you'll probably want a video switcher, and you only have one connection between that and your laptop, so to the laptop it's like only having one camera.
