Media director Robert Berthel said it's an initiative the department was eager to begin this year, because it allows more people to stay connected to Blue Devil events, and allows students to learn more about video on the Web. VBrick recently partnered with JarvisTV to get as many sports games from small universities and high schools on the Internet as possible. 

 "I dropped the package off at 11 a.m. and by that evening the school was streaming games over the Internet," said Vince Graziani, CEO of VBrick. Robert Berthel said those traveling parents and alumni are exactly the crowd the department hopes to reach out to with the use of the new equipment. "People don't have the time anymore to sit and watch games live," Berthel said. "They need to see it when they need to see it." Berthel said getting the video onto the Web doesn't mean much more work, since most of the games are being shot for the local cable television station anyway. "It's just an extension of what we already do," he said, "but now we can hit people all over the country and we know we have a lot of alumni around the country that want to tune in." At the same time, it will expand students' media technology skills, as they learn to deliver their films through the Web. About a dozen students who are members of the television club will be the first to experiment and learn how to post it on the Web. The project launched two weeks ago and only shows volleyball games right now, but in upcoming months Berthel expects that to change. Six months from now, he said, he hopes to get student projects, all athletics and School Board meetings available on demand, on the Web.
