To begin with, our apologies that the transmission is shaky. Many people have racked their brains during the week and sometimes the thing already seemed “beyond hope”. The trout spawning period started on Saturday afternoon; we will go on dealing with the technical problems next week.
The salmonides have started on the most important activities of the year and we will try to share their doings with all enthusiasts.
We use a
GoPro action camera lent to us by the
GPS Estonian company, see
www.prokaamera.ee (the new model has a superior image quality compared to the one used last year). This year we will hear all that is happening in the spawning river in the microphone.
The computer encoding the video stream was set up by
Urmas Lett from
Eenet, the technology was tested and brought together by
ITrotid and the GoPro camera was tested and tuned by
Tiit Lepik, and the ”ends” of the data distribution were tied up by
Ivo Kivinurk and
Wifinet (
www.igorexa.ee)
.
For the lighting wildlife film director
Rein Maran, Gaviafilm (
www.gaviafilm.ee) supported our own experiences and knowledge.
We have had great help from the RMK Põlula Fish Rearing Centre specialists Kunnar, Ene, Ivar ja Heino.
Looduskalender keeps an eye on what goes on, and will introduce the life of trout and what and whom we may see in camera view by and by.
