World Table Tennis Macao 2020

My Fire TV Cube seems to be outputting 60 fps.

Seems being the key word, the actual stream is 30.

I am pretty sure I am listening to Dan commentary in WTT Macao
Anyone can confirm?

Cheers mate. Thanks for letting me know. I was really hoping that WTT would herald in a new era of high fps live footage as they were really talking up their new improved media capabilities, but alas even the highlight videos are still 30 fps.

Can't confirm but I'm 99.99% sure it's Dan.

And where is the stream for Top Seeds Battle One ...

Anyone have link...

 

[matzreenzi]

Yeah..anyone ???

Edit: I can't post links because I just made an account

Link in the Where to Watch for USA is:
twitch tv - search for WTTMacao
But Twitch is a video game streaming site with no international restrictions I'm aware of - I'm in Aus and it works for me.
(Don't tell anyone )

Alternative is:
chaochaolive which is like a streaming site for many Chinese channels. If you don't know much Chinese like me you really just need Google Translate and determination to make an account and find the right link.

乒乓 = table tennis - just ctrl+f that on a page full of Chinese and you should be fine

I'm using the ESPN streaming, but Ittf channel seems to be streaming too, however every time I check is not really working, only the chat, so may be a geographical limitation

Shocking. It’s live on youtube, straight from ittf account

 

[ttarc]

OK. Apparently it won't be on the web: WTT-Macao-Where-to-Watch.pdf (ittf.com)

It is on the web https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvxh0OUOpBU The official ITTF channel is currently streaming the top 4 seeds battle one.

I hope they'll make replays of matches available too.

Gotta say, these 5-point games seem very silly to me... I think the points format should remain cohesive throughout TT or the sport loses credibility.

Regarding the camera angle, I’m on in. No angle is perfect and you can always pick this and that. But this gives me the most realistic 3d perception. Also it’s now very easy to see what the guys are doing with the ball. Say Hugo did a flat flick there with not much spin as he saw Xu Xin moving back to participate a strong spin one. Much more obvious than before. You can see very easily how they step in and out of the table and how the stop spin kicks or a float drops.

I guess it’s just impossible to have this in a 8-table venue in a big tournament.

I like this one much better:

45 degrees to the side, i.e. depth and width equally represented, and low enough to see the height of the ball. I believe this is the sorta angle everyone was asking for a long time. Personally I'd lower the cam even more for more pronounced arcs. They're obviously still experimenting, I hope this becomes the main angle.

This does look more dramatic indeed. Both are certainly better than before. Hope they’ll give this more show time to have a feel which one is preferable.

100% agreed.

Best of 5 matches with 5 point games seems too short for the players to get into a rhythm.
