EAST LANSING, Mich. – Sept. 12 – The beauty of MHSAA member schools utilizing Pixellot to live stream video of home athletic events really shows this week, as two-thirds of the events scheduled for the MHSAA.tv website will be automatically produced.
Pixellot was introduced to schools by the NFHS Network earlier this week to provide those schools which wished to live stream video of their events, but lacked the equipment or personnel to do so.
To date, a half-dozen schools are streaming events using Pixellot, and this week those schools will put 30 events online, primarily Volleyball and Soccer doubleheaders and tripleheaders. Additional schools will be coming online with their Pixellot units as the school year progresses.
Pixellot is part of the School Broadcast Program, which will also feature this week the battel for the Rocket-Rebel Trophy in Football on Friday (Sept. 15) when Wyoming Lee host Wyoming Kelloggsville at 7 p.m. The rivalry has been ongoing since the 1950’s, with the trophy becoming the prize in 2010, and Kelloggsville has won all six games since then.
In its ninth year, the School Broadcast Program gives members an opportunity to showcase excellence in their schools by creating video programming of athletic and non-athletic events; with students gaining skills in announcing, camera operation, directing/producing and graphics. The program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.
Here’s this week’s MHSAA.tv schedule of video streams available being produced by SBP members:
