Hey guys. I’m not sure how others really feel about this but the weekend of West Coast Warzone has a lot of heavy hitters for HDR. I wanted to record some bracket matches with the Cali players.
Here’s the scenario…
I have a hauppauge PVR which only takes in component cables. WCW will have xbox’s with Asus monitors. I will obtain a component cable to VGA converter but it would require me to hook this up to the xbox to the Asus monitors. The quality is just as good at 720p compared to 1080p. The only thing is that you’ll lose the widescreen option… I don’t think we’ve set the rules for that.
Would you guys be down for this? If so, how would I get approval?
The maximum resolution of the Hauppage HD PVR is 1080i over component. But the wide screen option is available at 720p so that should be fine. That’s how we did the Denjin Ranbats.
To get approval you’ll have to talk to John Rog (Teppelin on SRK.) Don’t get your hopes up though. I doubt they would want one of the setups to be different from everything else. You could totally get some casuals or FT5/10 matches going I bet.
Speaking of Widescreen I certainly hope WCW runs widescreen like they did last year. There were no issues at all, so we should probably ask John Rog if he will run the tourney in widescreen again. Lets send him PM’s people!
I got a reply from Teppelin and he said there will be 2 stations with HDR on it. Big matches will be streamed along with it. I guess I won’t make the stream lol. He said he’ll get back to me on allowing me to record the matches. I’m glad he responded, I thought that was professional. Most organizers that don’t know you, won’t even respond. I guess I’ll get the DGV brothers to speak for us lol. Their words have heavier weight than mine, I know that for sure. I’ll bring the equipment just in case.
Either way, I hope to meet up with some more dedicated HDR heads. I’ve met many socal cats already and was planning to hang out after the tourney.
