The latest tests look significantly better than the first match, but are still quite dark. Almost like there is a gray translucent filter overlay. Also, in the first match the left edge of the screen was cut-off.

Okay so it seems that the production crew is having tourble finding a good setting to stream at that works well for both frame rate and still looks pleasing to watch. I have a few suggestions:

First your gamma is too high, and contrast looks to be off aswell. Blacks should be very dark and whites should be bright, the fog of war should be dark but you should still be able to make the terrain out clearly while looking through it.

As for frame rate, Move all your settings to low and start turning things up. My suggestion is to stop trying to blanket "High" every setting. many can be turned down without sacrificing anything on the viewers end

Shaders medium
lighting low
shadows medium

This makes very minimal difference to the untrained eye and increases frame rate on most systems dramatically

Fullscreen(windowed)

Almost all casts are done with this setting as far as I'm aware

PostProcessing: low
physics: low (if you don't have a physX card or a high end AMD you probably shouldn;t be running higher)

and pretty much everything else doesn't matter. Terrain and textures I'd suggest you keep around the same setting, be it high or med.

As for making the stream work with everything else, I have no idea, I just noticed some frame rate problems on 1080p and these small changes should help fix that, I have no idea how much tinkering has been going on but I'm just throwin in my 2 cents, whether it helps or not, so please, don't berate me for these obvious suggestions

WTF they take hours to fix the problem just to break the Audio...

Good games good games...

Such a shame that a Caster must step up and save the day for the event holder cant fix the problems with their local equiptment.

Bling is awesome, but your window is off centre to the left, and your audio isn't sync'd

The delay on the audio is approximately 5 seconds

Okay, now we have about a 6 second audio delay, and the screen is a good bit further misaligned towards the left than it was.

Apollo and I are really sorry about this guys. Unfortunately we are just the casters and this isn't our equipment, it's entirely out of our hands. We are trying our best.

They know that. I've directed the chatters to come here to post feedback to allow ECL the opportunity to review post-event.

You guys are doing a great job. I'm just surprised that despite having hardware issues and being a much smaller operation, your SCI2 still had much much higher production quality. I have a new appreciation of your tournaments!

Edit: I am, however, really disturbed when you look in to the camera while drinking from your water bottle. Just saying.

It's very late but I would like to know that ECL staff are reading this thread and we are working on the issues, This is our first event with PC included and yes there is some issues. We appreciate that people have bared with the issues. Some we have fixed but others we can't (for this event) we want to keep a working stream even with the minor issues as we have some exciting games coming tomorrow with a lot less downtime. We will review all feedback.

I am saddened by the fact that the commentating is superb and very enjoyable, but it's all let down by the production issues. Scaling problems, audio problems, and this dreaded gray mist on the actual games. I do still enjoy the event, and the little interviews are a very welcome addition to the tried and true recipe. I would love to call the issues as "small" but it's not that small.
