Jan. 11, 2009 - PRLog -- The Force Field is now carrying video coverage of The Consumer Electronics Show to the public and members of The Force Field.

Through an arrangement with Techpodcasts.com and GeekNewsCentral the site will feature daily HD video coverage from the floor of CES 2009. The Force Field podcast is a member of the Techpodcasts.com Network.

The videos are hosted by Todd Cochrane of Geek News Central and Andy McCaskey of Slashdot Review. They will be joined by Jeffrey Powers of Geekazine to provide daily reports from the floor of CES 2009 in Las Vegas.

There are three separate video productions. The official video episodes will be published on the home page of THEFORCEFIELD.NET and available to the public. These are HD video feeds that will recap the events of each day.

There is also a second video production. This will be a backchannel feed. This daily video update will follow the hosts and crew and provide a behind-the-scenes look at the CES event normally only available to members of the press, including press events and insider tours. In addition to the two recorded video feeds members of The Force Field will be able to watch a third feed in real time. The feed will be streamed live from the floor of CES and will be available based on available time and bandwidth.

The backchannel and live video feeds will be available from TheForceField.Net web portal to members of The Force Field only. The backchannel can be viewed from a special menu link after login. Members can watch the live feed from the Home Page of TheForceField.Net after login.
