On Sunday February 1, Qrodo live-casted a very exciting junior quarter final floorball game from Råsta Park. The home team AIK took the lead and it looked like an easy win. The visiting team RIG Umeå was not at all on their toes and looked uncomfortable. But it soon became a most dramatic and shifting game. AIK was leading 5-3 when 3 minutes remained. The game shifted and Umeå started hitting their shots. 6-5 in one minute and 30 second.
The game was characterized by a two good defences and a creative offense. Most people, like me, had AIK as the winner AIK, first time i the quarter finals, but the team has been a very predictable winning machine this year. Good luck in the semi-finals RIG.
Many great players in both teams, we like to highlight the AIK goaltender Jocke Hellman (****) responsible for many great saves, creative forward Andreas Nordström (****) and strong defense man Adam Ekman (*****).
On the uneven bars (also known as asymmetric bars, UK), the gymnast navigates two horizontal bars set at different heights. The height is generally fixed, but the width may be adjusted. Gymnasts perform swinging, circling, transitional, and release moves, that may pass over, under, and between the two bars. Movements may pass through the handstand. Gymnasts often mount the Uneven Bars using a beatboard (springboard). (From wikipedia)
On Saturday October 18 Qrodo live-casted Stockholm Kendo Open over the Tre 3G mobile network. We used one semi-pro Sony DV camcorder using resolution 752×520. The uplink from Tre (www.tre.se) was very reliable at 800 Kbit/s and up to 1,2 Mbit/s. We experimented with two configurations of Qrodo, during the event, one with 25 frames/s and one with 15. The higher quality stream was steady around 500 Kbit/s, but went up to 1,3 Mbit/s when we used zoom and pan, which is understandable as the video encoding is based on deltas, when the scene changes alot the bitrate goes up significantly. The lower quality stream was streaming at 300 Kbit/s and topped at 800 Kbit/s for agressive camera management.
