OrlandoSentinel.com/live Video of the Shuttle Launch
Posted by Matthew SokoloffAug 9
Yesterday we did our first live video coverage at the Orlando Sentinel. (We did a trial of the Venue vote.) We streamed the launch of the Space Shuttle at OrlandoSentinel.com/live. We started our stream at 12:30 p.m. and went until after the shuttle launch at 6:36 p.m. For most of the time we showed NASA TV but at the bottom of every hour I anchored live updates with sentinel staff writers, editors, photographers and even CNN’s Miles O’Brien. First off we had a blast. We are also very happy with the numbers we got.
We were able to do this using a slingbox to send out signal back to the newsroom to stream on our site. I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank Alex Medina in Technology for all his help in getting it set up.
You can see some clips:
here, here, and here
oh and the actual launch video is here
[…] Sokoloff of the orlandosentinel.com describes a successful streaming video project. I need to learn how to do that, and soon … By next Saturday to be exact. If anyone has tips […]

How about another post with some technical specifics on your Slingbox set-up and how it worked in the office to pull from the Slingbox stream and push it online? We are looking into a similar set-up any details you can share I am sure would be a huge help.
thanks
