The Suntrup.com Cam
Posted: July 22 08, 8:23 pm
This promotion during games irks me to no end. Let me say, I love the camera. Being well versed in digital video knowledge, the sheer ability of this device is remarkable. If you can't catch the FSN broadcasts, the camera captures video at a very high frames per second, which when played back in slow motion, appears to be as fluid as the regular video. Normal cameras can't do this because the lens at this high of FPS would not allow enough light into the iris, which would in turn would make the picture terribly dark.
However, this promotion for the camera is getting incredibly redundant. First, the camera had no name, then it became the "X-MO" camera, then Suntrup bought the promotions to call the cam the "Suntrup.com Cam." Now, putting a little "Suntrup.com" in the corner isn't bad, but every single time they show footage from the camera, Dan has to repeat the cameras name, and then give a little blurb about auto needs. It's gotten really old, plus the name doesn't really have any correlation with the promo. I mean, there's the Helitech rain delays, Helitech fixes roof leaks, then there was a termite promo for everytime a broken bat occured a few years ago, but the name Suntrup.com just never sounds right. Sure they want to get their website address out, but Suntrup.com Cam does not flow. They should just put "Suntrup Cam" in the corner with 'suntrup.com' below it, and Dan shouldn't have to mention the blurb about auto needs, just the something akin to "And here's the view from the Suntrup Cam."
I used to love seeing the view from this camera, but now every instance it appears, I cringe.
