GC 2012 Priesthood Session Internet Stream
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2012 9:19 pm
This was the first time I viewed the priesthood session of general conference via a streamed Internet broadcast. We had minor, yet quite noticeable, issues. I do not know where the source of the problem lies. I suspect some of it may be computer related, but I am not sure. I am posting to see if any others who viewed the streamed session had issues also.
We experienced audio/video sync problems as well as changing focus, changing resolution and pixelation issues.
For the most part the audio was good. The exception was when the video and audio got out of sync and the recovery involved two audio problems. I guess the interval for adjustment was somewhere between five to ten minutes. I didn't keep track of timing since I was concentrating on the message and not the technical difficulties.
The first sync adjustment method caused the chopping off, or loss, of a short segment of audio when it was jumped ahead to catch up with the video. This caused the loss of a word or two, I guess, since I could not tell what exactly was lost. The second was the repetition of a few words when the audio was set back a brief moment.
Video had several issues. The first was the choppy, or halting, stream that would occur for around 15 to 20 seconds. This would be followed by loss of resolution and focus. This would slowly recover over a period of 40 to 60 seconds to halting pixelation and then to very sharp and in sync with audio period lasting from a couple of minutes to around 6 or 8 minutes.
There seamed to be a correlation between audio and video issues such as when re-syncing the two.
We are going to check with another stake location that viewed the streamed session to see what they experienced to see if both were the same.
