Fred, does it show video of any description of is it pictures/images only?

Theoretically we could put video throught it, but it would mean dismantling the cabinet housing the hardware in the PA room to get at the sockets, as when it was installed, a patch panel allowing the plugging in of relevent cables at the front of the box was omitted.

It would be great if video replays of the Leigh tries could be shown. Fred takes the pictures and then transmits to the screen. Mind you there wouldn't be a lot to show!

We can't currently show live video. It's a possibility that in the future we might have the capability, but I'm not sure.

However, we can show video files through the screen, but they would have to be prepared beforehand.

The resolution of the screen is only 400-240 so the video would be quite low-res, but probably adequate.

The Sky thing is a moot point though - they wouldn't use our equipment even if they thought it was compatible. They need to run a very tight ship for live broadcasts, and they will only trust their own equipment.

Any chance of showing classic tries and the like on the screen immediately prior to the teams coming out? Build the atmosphere and that.
