FYI if anyone is interested from the tech guys on the admin forums at multiplay:

“The image quality on the TVs was an unexepected function of the hardware we were using.

Unfortunately, while we were sending a perfectly good full 1080p video signal to all the TVs via HDMI distribution, the processing of the video has to be done in PAL due to limitations in the current video mixing hardware. This means it then has to be scaled back up to 1080p and this scaling (along with some dodgey post-processing it was doing) made it just look poop. For the starcraft we bypassed the video mixer and just routed the 1080p direct from the caster machine which was infinitely better quality, but we lost all production control for the local screens as a result.

This is an issue we are looking closely at to resolve for iNext”

So not to worry for i43 boys i shall crack zee whip to get this sorted!

I think ive asked the past couple of events ive been to that they raise the height of the spectator tvs so people behind the front row can see anything.

Nothing ever changes :(

Even if they fired up a projctor onto the big white ceiling it would be somthing (if not a little painfull on the neck)

Alcohol should be cheaper on sundays or just during matches.

Drunk crowd = better crowd :D
