2000 ACTV Presentation (one hour max) in the Jessop Classroom
One of the biggest differences between this America’s Cup World Series Regatta in San Diego this November 12-20 is the way in which all of the race events will be covered and presented on TV. This America’s Cup will showcase the world’s most advanced TV coverage of a sailing event ever broadcast. The Amateur Radio Group will be having an ACTV Dinner Presentation on Tuesday evening, November 8 that will detail the planned TV coverage of San Diego’s AC World Series Sailing event. Please join the ARG and other SDYC members for this “Special Presentation”.
Our guest speaker is Ken Miles. Ken is the Live Graphics Project Manager for the America’s Cup Event Authority (ACEA) and is responsible for developing and managing the LiveLine graphics overlay system that will be used for the 34th America’s Cup TeleVision and streaming broadcasts that will be seen on the internet. Prior to the America’s Cup, Ken was the Senior Vice President of Engineering at Sprotsvision Inc., where he managed and developed various virtual graphics and tracking systems including the NASCAR RaceFX system and the yellow “first down line” in football broadcasts. He was also a co-founder at Etak Inc., where he developed a vehicle navigations system. Ken was granted his Amateur Radio license in 1968 with call-sign WA6ETS.
