Good evening all. It's Sat. night, the kids are sleeping, the baby sitter went home and my wife has a headache. So I figured I'd engage in some raging bull####. If anyone has bothered to follow the ACTV thread lately, they would have read several posts concerning TiVo and like kind companies. The main point of those products are to capture video for playback. To the unthinking man, this seems like the new VCR. But if you care to look past that short sighted conclusion, you will see what it really is, convergence! "So what", you may be saying, "where the hell do we fit in". Patience my small minded friend, I would say, this company is about so much more than simply tracking a baseball. The idea of recording and playback at the same time is something that the broadcast industry has had for the past several years. Our German associates LiveMotionCompany have built their business using this technology. The pitch by pitch replays you see on FOX, ESPN, NBC, etc., use this technology. It has one MAJOR flaw. It has to be indexed by a human operator and tag what is important. If you've never seen how this is done, think of a very large CD disk that captures the video images, and is then replayed after something big happens. An operater sits there and records the "mile marker" that the event happend at so it can be accesed later. However, and this is the important point, so WAKE UP, while QSTI technology allows us to capture and replay moving objects, balls, players, etc, one of the byproducts of this data capture is TIME CODE. When this time code is interfaced with standard scoring info it becomes the driving force for all data and video retrieval. By allowing a data stream to be recorded with the video, you now have a real-time video editing and retrieval system. TIVo will allow you to replay indexed action that you have missed while answering a door. What if you were tied up for 30 to 40 minutes? You might as well have a standard VCR. What if you where able to hit a stats page, scan the play by play and select the 3, 4 or 5 key plays you missed, or the controversial 5th pitch in a three minute eight pitch sequence? QuesTec's data and real-time transmission of these events can and DOES make this possible!!! Live, real-time, true convergence of data and video media. SportsLine used this type of data to interface our pitch tracking information with SportsTickers play by play information so that SuperVision was synched up with Baseball Live. BTW, are product was delivered true real time, Sportsucker wasn't and can't. During last summer's interface with ACTV, ACTV used this technology by receiving the data stream over the internet to a dedicated graphics box that outputs real-time video graphics and animations. Whether it is real-time graphic replays or video replays it makes no difference. It is QuesTec's data stream that is the core for this convergence. Everyone on the threads (who actually thinks) knows who the current players are with QuesTec, what will be interesting is who are the new players that QSTI is working with in this area. The potential client base for this is huge. Data streaming will eventually dwarf the company's video production business!!! This is the concept of eSports. Convergence will be to media what the internal combustion engine was to travel. We may not be making the "engine" but I bet whatever company was supplying the fuel lines and gas oil filters to Ford played an integral part and profited just as nicely. My friends, there are so many different facets to this technology you can't imagine. And each one has multiple revenue streams associted with it. The convergence wave is heading towards shore and it is one big ass mother. Get your surf boards because we're going to be riding high on that wave and I for one plan on hanging ten Nighty, Night Greenie
