Fox uses Treo to break N.Y. plane crash news
Oct 13, 2006
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - When a single-engine plane crashed into an Upper East Side apartment building on Wednesday, Fox News Channel delivered early live video to its viewers from the crash site using a hand-held mobile phone souped up with streaming video. Scott Wilder, a cameraman for the network, had been about 20 blocks away on another assignment when the crash occurred. Wilder ran uptown and reported live from the scene using a hand-held Palm Treo smartphone that uses the existing mobile network to transmit video to the Fox News control room. From there, Fox News sent it out live on TV to supplement other video being shot by local traffic helicopters. Here is the link.
From a September press release from Comet Video Technologies:
“CometvisionC2C also allows social networkers with Windows based smart phones and PDA’s to transmit live streaming video through cell networks for live playing on their social networking web sites.”
I’ve got a call in with Comet, but it appears that this involves both hardware and software, so there would be no way to get this delivered and up and running prior to Saturday’s game. All of this assumes they have a high speed network in Pullman.
