TxRover Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 6 hours ago, SandyCromarty said: I truly hope that ICT have upgraded our disgraceful Pixellot system and that we are not going to embarrass ourselves on saturday with that makeshift shite we had with previous games, otherwise we are robbing away fans. There is no upgrade short of a manned joystick override that will solve the problems for afternoon games at ICT. Positioning the camera head looking West, into the setting sun, was a recipe for glare and disaster...but that where the stand is. Short of demanding anyone bald wears a cap and/or erecting a huge polarized screen... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a recruitment drive in the area for a manual operator, presumably by Pixellot, they are offering £80 per game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are advertising for one at all ten Championship grounds. They've accepted the AI system doesn't work well enough and will need manual guidance, at least for now. This means installing additional cabling and an operator position with a monitor or laptop to track the camera. Whether that will be in place for Saturday is another question though. It's not in place at Palmerston yet but we don't have a game this weekend so they won't be prioritising us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) As expected we'll be playing as much of a reserve team as we can tomorrow. Makes you think about paying money for what will be even more of a friendly than usual. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/inverness-caledonian-thistle/2643532/caley-thistle-boss-john-robertson-does-not-favour-betfred-cup-group-format/ Edited November 13, 2020 by RiG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon_The_Fife Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 A glorified friendly really, fair play to both clubs for making it free but not worth getting up at 4am for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would appear they Pixellot problems have not been resolved, with that the club has done the right thing and provided a free stream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I’m not going to. I’ll listen to RaithTV, as the stream has had very little in the way of positive reviews. IF they get the manual operator, and WHEN the operator proves he can track the action, THEN I’ll perhaps splash out for the game. On a related note, the camera head is facing west...consider the time of sunset, you have been warned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 As expected (after some to-ing and fro-ing around availability!) Tait comes in for Benedictus. I'm guessing it will be Armstrong at left back, although it could also see Matthews go into the back line at either full back position with Tumilty in the other. We should be good enough to win this one fairly comfortably, but we'll see how things turn out. Nothing like a dead rubber to throw up some odd occurrences. Just no more injuries please. No injuries, no injuries, my kingdom for no injuries! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Wasn’t going to bother watching this dead rubber but caved at the last minute. Hopefully we don’t pick up any injuries as the league has to be our focus this season with the great start we’ve made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Iain Russell still kicking a baw, eh? That's a turn up for the books. It is indeed Armstrong at left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Now, I’m not going to pretend to know about the intricacies of Cowdenbeath’s camera placing capabilities, but I’d like to think there was a better place to put it than right behind a massive pylon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1994 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I’ve had to turn the sound off so I don’t have to listen to the absolute shite the commentator is coming out with. The camera does seem to be doing a lot better this week on a positive note. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
