ITHACA, N.Y. ? This year, you'll be able to watch all of your favorite Cornell athletic events anywhere in the world in HD and on your mobile devices, including on iPhone, iPad or Android. Subscriptions for RedCast audio/video are now available for the 2012-13 season.
Football, sprint football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's ice hockey, wrestling and men's and women's lacrosse will have all home games/dual meets broadcast on RedCast, with audio also available for road contests for football, men's basketball, men's ice hockey and men's lacrosse contests. Additionally, select events in other sports will also be made available for broadcast on a game-by-game basis. A men's soccer package that includes audio only will be available for home games. Additional contests are expected to be added, with volleyball, baseball, gymnastics and other sports likely to have games broadcast.
RedCast has added multi-bitrate streams that work similar to ESPN3 broadcasts. This delivers videos with the resolution and bit rate that best matches the viewer's connection speed, adjusting as your network connectivity improves or decreases during the broadcast. The highest speed internet connections will get an HD feed equivalent to 720p. Archived video will be uploaded at the highest resolution possible.
Cornell has upgraded connectivity at Schoellkopf Field, Lynah Rink, Newman Arena and Friedman Wrestling Center to allow for higher quality feeds. In addition, new HD radios will upgrade the audio feeds for football, men's ice hockey and basketball, as well as men's lacrosse. In addition, professional audio broadcasts will be available as part of the video feeds for home events involving sprint football, women's basketball, women's ice hockey and women's lacrosse. Announcing for those broadcasts will be covered by RLM Sports.
Television sometimes contractually precludes the broadcast of home games - typically 4-6 events per year. Subscribers will be notified in advance on CornellBigRed.com. Postseason tournaments, including NCAA events, are not included in the RedCast subscription. Wrestling's daylong Body Bar Invitational is also not included.
Subscription packages (see pricing below) are broken up into the following options:
- A yearly subscription (Best Value) allows users unlimited access to all live events and archived material for one year from the date of purchase.
- A monthly subscription allows users unlimited access to all live events and archived material for one month from the date of purchase.
- A pay-per-view pass allows users unlimited access to all live events and archived material on the date of purchase only.
- A sport pass allows users unlimited access to all live events and archived material for a specific sport good for one year from the date of purchase.
Cornell RedCast is available on any platform (PC, Mac, etc.). While occasional network drops are unavoidable and unpredictable despite the best efforts of all involved, all care and effort go into bringing the streams back online as soon as possible. In the event of technical problems, subscribers will be made aware of problems through www.CornellBigRed.com, and you can also contact ICS customer service through the Redcast player. All subscription revenue will go back to continuing to improve the audio and video services for athletics.
