Paul Rivers and his assistant, Jason Hervey, are the two-man team solely responsible for handling all of the club's footage and video operations. Rivers is in his second year with the Pistons after being the video coordinator for the San Antonio Spurs during their 2005 championship season and before that with Tom Izzo at Michigan State University. 你也许知道这些人和"看带子"这份苦差事对抗的故事，但是你知道他们是由哪些人组成的 吗？Paul Rivers和他的助理Jason Hervey两个人共同负责全部的运作。这是Paul Rivers 在活塞做影片操作的第二年，在之前他是待在马刺队。而更早以前是在Michigan State University和Tom Izzo共事。 Are we getting air miles for this?: 这句不会翻 How expensive is all the equipment for the video editing room? In a word: very. Rivers' laptop is a regular Dell computer with a lot of memory and a sophisticated high-end graphics card. Let's estimate the laptop to cost $4,000. The video editing software costs roughly $20,000, and that's just for a stand-alone editing system. Now let's make sure that all the coaches, scouts and certain members of the basketball staff such as Joe Dumars and John Hammond have a laptop. Ten computers should cover the Pistons staff. That brings the total to roughly $240,000. 这间影片编辑室有多昂贵呢？简短来说：非常贵。Rivers的笔记型电脑拥有高阶的储存装 置及绘图卡，价值4000美金。而影片编辑软体大概要花掉2000美金。这仅仅是对於一套独 立编辑系统而已。现在来确认几位球队阵容中的重要人物像是Joe Dumars 、John Hammond，他们都有笔记型电脑、以及给全体活塞工作人员的10台电脑，这些大约价值 240000美金。 Pistons games from last season, this season and opponent's games over the same span are stored on eight portable Firewire drives. They are roughly $215 per drive for an additional $1,720. There's also a portable DVD duplicator and video capture box that Rivers takes with him on the road. Those are roughly $600. Then there's lots of DVDs. Rivers and his staff go through roughly four 100-disk packs per season for a total of $200. That brings the approximate total to a whopping $242,500. There also are High-Definition flat screens hooked up to TiVo boxes to record other NBA games. 从上一季到这一季的比赛通通被储存在八个手提式的安全保护系统装置中。每一套系统大 约要花掉额外的215美金，而装置的费用大约都是1720美金。还有一个Rivers随身携带的 手提式的DVD烧录机和电视录像盒。这玩意值200美元，全部管理系统大约是242500美元。 这些都是超高画质的平面萤幕，并且可以连接到TiVo boxes来进行录像。 The Michigan State Spartans spent between $500,000 and $600,000 on a video editing room, becoming one of the first college basketball programs in the country to have this technology. When Rivers was with San Antonio, the Spurs spared no expense and easily spent $1 million. The Pistons have two video editing rooms, one in the Palace and another at the practice facility. That's enough money to earn five first-class roundtrip tickets with Northwest Airlines to anywhere in the United States. Michigan State Spartans花了大约50到60万美金在影片编辑室上，成为了第一个拥有这 项技术的大学篮球节目。当Rivers在马刺时，马刺不惜费用的花了100万美金。而活塞则 有影片编辑室，一间在宫殿而另一间在工作区，以及充足到可以买飞到美国的任何地方的 西北航空公司的5张头等来回机票的经费。 Welcome to the 21st century: 欢迎来到21世纪 The Pistons still have a lot of information on VHS and beta tapes but the process of transferring games to DVD is underway. Teams went the digital route due to ease of use and portability. To avoid confusion, games are limited to one game per DVD. Five years ago, Rivers' laptop at MSU had a whopping 20-gigabyte hard drive, which was considered a lot of disk space at the time. The one he currently uses stores up to 100 gigabytes of information. 活塞队仍然有很多VHS和BEAT版的带子正在加工成DVD中。小组使用了数位制程来让他们更 具可携性。为了避免混乱，他们让一片DVD只放入一场比赛。五年前，Rivers的笔记型电 脑硬碟储存量有20GB，存放了那些经过深思熟虑後才放置的东西。而现在他电脑里储存了 100GB的资讯。 The Firewire drives are 400 GBs each and there are eight of them hooked up to River's laptop at the practice facility. Rivers also utilizes a 150 gig flash drive, bringing the storage total to 3,450 GBs. Games take up roughly 3.5 gigs of space so a full regular season would take 287 GBs. The championship season was 105 games long - 367.5 gigs. That alone fills one of Rivers' Firewire drives. 在工作室中有防火墙软体保护的八部各有400GB容量的机器中，可以和River的笔记型电脑 相互连结。River还有150G的随身硬碟，这些装置加起来容量有3450GB。每场比赛差不多 要用掉3.5GB，而一整季比赛要用掉287GB。而活塞夺冠那年打了105场比赛-365.5GB。每 个单独档案都被River的防火墙保护着。 Something for all occasions: 适合各种场合的某些事情 "I am a bit of a pack rat," Rivers admitted. Rivers has video from the past ten years in his practice facility office that he shares with his assistant and Coach Kevin Wilson. Whether it's for a trade, free agency or as an off-season teaching aid, Rivers has something for every situation. An example would be Jason Maxiell, who was compared to Charles Barkley earlier in the season. "Maxie (Jason Maxiell) has probably watched him a few times but not enough to know what his game is. I have stuff here that I can put together and give to Jason so that he's got a visual … [if] we can make a parallel to guys from the past that'll help them in their careers." River认为："我是少数爱将不需要的小东西收集起来的人"。 River将过去十年来在他工 作办公室的录像分享给他的助理和指导员Kevin Wilson。无论是当作交易、自由球员或淡 季时的教材，Rivers能应付各种状况。像是Jason Maxiell在季初的时候被拿来和 Charles Barkley相比较。" Maxie可能已经看过几场比赛但是还是不知道Charles Barkley的球风，这时我就会把很多片段放在一起给他看…(如果)我们可以把过去的球员 和他放在一起比较，这样就能对他的篮球生涯有所帮助。" Rivers说。 An NBA game on fast-forward: 快转NBA比赛 A regular Pistons game on TV would take roughly 2 to 2 ? hours to watch, but the NBA game clock is only 48 minutes long. With video editing, Rivers can jump right to the chase, breaking down the game into offensive and defensive possessions, similar to the play-by-play stat sheet. Possessions are cataloged and tagged with various information such as play calls, defensive schemes, who shot the ball, the final result of the play and any other notes that the coaches might be looking for. A broken-down game would contain about 20 minutes of offensive and 20 minutes of defensive possessions - a lot less than 2 ? hours. 一场正常地活塞比赛在电视上差不多会播出2-2.5小时，但是计时器只有48分钟。藉由影 片修改，Rivers能够快转比赛来检视比赛的攻守，就像一张比赛详细攻守明细。他们会编 成目录以及加上许多不同资讯的标签，像是呼叫跑位、防守战术或是谁投了球。这些最後 结果都会做出纪录来让教练方便查询。一场比赛最後只会有大约20分钟的攻击和20分钟的 防守-很多都不到两小时半。 Who knew TiVo would be so handy at work?: 有谁知道TiVo工作如此方便？ At the practice facility, there are four monitors hooked up to a pair of TiVo boxes. This allows Rivers and Hervey to record games that will be broken down later. Not only does the video staff record NBA games but also college games for the scouting staff's draft preparation. Before TiVo came out, the computer room was outfitted with a TiVo-like computer program. The date and time of the game would be set manually and it would turn on all the burners at the indicated date and time. If there are more than four games on at a time, the Palace video room also could be used to record games. NBA Entertainment just started a sharing program for all the team video coordinators so they can download games that they may have missed. 在工作室中，有4个萤幕连接着TiVo盒，这可以让Rivers和Hervey纪录比赛。不仅可以录 制NBA比赛，也可以蒐集大学比赛的资料来作为选秀的准备。在装上TiVo之前，工作室用 的是一种很像TiVo的电脑程式。比赛的档案和时间都是由是由手工确定。如果同时有超过 四场比赛，宫殿的录影室也会被拿来记录比赛。而NBA Entertainment也会开启分享频道 给全部的队伍影像工程师，来让他们下载他们没录到的比赛。 No drinks in the video room: 工作室禁止饮食 "I'm super paranoid," Rivers said about spilling water on the laptop. "I keep it far away. My laptop holds our last two years of play so if we lost that, it's a lot of data. We're not that sophisticated that we have a major backup system in place." "我是一个超级偏执狂" Rivers说。说到有关溅出水在笔记型电脑上的问题时，"我会离的 远远的。我的笔记型电脑放了最近两年的比赛，如果消失了，这将是个大损失，而且宫 殿内并没有任何备份系统。" Any plans for a backup system? "Not yet," Rivers said. "At least, not until I spill." 有增置备份系统的计画吗？ "不是现在" Rivers说。 "至少不会在我打翻水後" = 有错请指正 = --
