Spring Rubber 733 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 I just tuned into CBS2 for the heck of it, and they've got Mary Key Kleist doing the weather from the field (at a Memorial Day celebration) via Mobile2, which appears to be their fancy name for their 3G/4G uplink using LiveU or one of its competitors. Wow, the quality was absolutely horrible! Constant audio breakups, and the video was so bad that you couldn't even make out anyone's faces. Mary and the people she interviewed were nothing but pixilated blobs. Great job cutting costs, CBS2!
15connects 4 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 They've had it for a while now, over a year I believe...but normally the quality is a lot better.
Chicago News Boy 34 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Cbs 2 is a joke.. They dont even replace burntout lighting in their studio
AndrewPollard_ 6 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Ahh Chicagoans. Angry about CBS 2's messed up mobile car. Wait this is Chicago or New York?
qunewsguy 381 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Lesson #1 when using backpack tech in the field: it WILL fail when you use it at a busy public event. Just too many people and too little bandwidth.
AndrewPollard_ 6 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Oh Chicago. Riiight. So the station is cheap for the suckish Moble2.
Chicago News Boy 34 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Actionnewslovell... Its not a car its a name for their mobile camera and yes the awful quality does make them cheap!
