NYRA Board meeting - P5 and Trakus

Obviously the things said above are much more important, but I can't wait until they go HD like Churchill or Keeneland.

Does Churchill broadcast in HD? I didn't think they did. NYRA does, but most outlets do not broadcast it in HD. The TVs on track broadcast in HD and it looks awesome.

I only watch through my Twinspires or DRFBets accounts and Churchill obviously does broadcast in HD on Twinspires, but it is not available on DRFBets. Keeneland broadcasts in HD on Twinspires, I haven't checked it on DRFBets. I've never seen NYRA broadcast in HD anywhere off track, but when carried on NBC.

Yes, HD where available (i.e. on track and at Keeneland simulcast since HRTV is SD)

That's pretty cool, wonder why they don't offer the ability to watch the races in HD on my computer like I do with my other premium sports subscriptions such as MLB, or the replays should be in HD, if one has the bandwidth to watch them they could make that happen if they are set up for HD.

This is an old article, but perhaps it is that extra charge for the transmission of the signal?

Maybe the case back then but if the previous post about being HD on track I don't see why they are not uploaded to Youtube, which NYRA does, in HD. Also their replays on the website should be in HD as well if they are already using HD cameras.

HD is the standard and I would imagine most televisions now in an OTB are flatscreen capable HD televisions, now as long as the signal is coming HD I think this is something that should be easily navigated by the tracks.

Again they talk about 750k being wasted, that seems like small change for Twinspires to actually be ahead of the curve and in step with what younger people expect now.
