After logging in to the Ideal Car Application Center on Migu Video, “Watching Football in the Car” has become the hottest topic among car enthusiasts in the past few days. On the Ideal Max model, it is even possible to display three different live views of the same game on three screens. How does this experience compare to watching at home? Next, let me share my guide on watching football in the car.
Which Scenarios Are Worth Watching Football in the Car?
After the attention brought about by watching football in the car, some netizens commented, “Why not watch at home?” In fact, they have not returned to real-life scenarios to understand such choices. Combining my football-watching experience, let me give you two examples.
Scenario One: The majority of this year’s World Cup matches are scheduled at 21:00, 23:00, and 00:00. If you want to watch football late at night but don’t want to disturb your loved ones and children, you can choose to watch in the car. Electric cars don’t have to worry about tailpipe emissions, you can use the air conditioning without restraint, and the large bed mode allows for a more comfortable viewing posture. If you are an owner of the Ideal L9 model, there is also a SPA-level ten-point massage and a hot and cold refrigerator to further enhance your viewing experience.
Scenario Two: If you want to experience the three-screen multi-angle viewing experience, then go watch a different game in the car. Many people have never experienced watching a match from three different angles, so they can’t imagine this feeling. By combining different perspectives such as bird’s-eye view, close-up, and star player tracking, you can see more details on the pitch. Yes, details are what move people the most.
So, you can say goodbye to ear pain caused by earphones and don’t have to worry about your own excitement causing you to unintentionally shout and disturb others. You just need to enjoy your ideal exclusive VIP box and feel the charm of the World Cup.
Tips Before Watching Football
If your Ideal Car System is version 4.1.1 or above and your Migu Video version is 3.8.1.5 or above (available for download or update on the Car Application Center), you can achieve multi-screen simultaneous play and multi-channel viewing.Open MiGu Video and you will see a list of live World Cup matches. Click to enter the live broadcast. I have to praise MiGu here. Non-members of the car-side can watch the World Cup for free and there is no advertisement before the live broadcast. Moreover, 720p high-definition video is supported, which basically satisfies the demand for watching football games.
If you want to watch videos with a resolution of 1080p or above, or want to see some special angles and special commentary, then you need to become a member of MiGu. To be honest, the membership pricing during the World Cup period is much lower than expected.
New registered users of Diamond Members only need 6 yuan for the first month, and the World Cup schedule is only 28 days, so you can just buy the first month. Diamond members can watch multi-angles + 1080p. Football Members only need 9 yuan for the first month, and can watch multi-angles + 1080p + special commentary. Both memberships are quite cost-effective.
Multi-angle Viewing Strategy
The best viewing seat for multi-angle viewing in the car is the second row on the right. After folding down the co-pilot seat, three large screens are in front of you.
Click “Multi-view Live” in the lower right corner of the live broadcast interface, and then click “Multi-view Same Viewing” on the left side of the shortcut bar at the bottom. At this time, all three screens will enter the viewing angle selection interface, but the sound can only follow one screen, so click “Multi-view Same Viewing” on one screen and the corresponding sound will follow.
MiGu provides rich live broadcast angles, mainly divided into three categories: commentary screen, special camera position, and character tracking. I also suggest that each of the three screens correspond to a different type.
The commentary screen mainly includes the live broadcast of CCTV-5 and some football commentators. Taking the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador as an example, I personally prefer the combination of Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, which is well-known to old fans.Special camera angles refers to the high-definition camera angles in the schedule, such as box experience, fan stands, tactical angles, etc. You can choose one according to your preference.
Player tracking camera angles generally refer to exclusive player tracking camera angles focused on both teams’ main coaches and star players. For Portugal or Argentina, star camera angles will specifically focus on Ronaldo and Messi.
It should be noted that due to live broadcast signals, there is indeed a delay in the three angles. However, with the main camera angle, the other two camera angles can supplement the visual information, and the delay is acceptable. After all, an experience with three screens and multiple angles is really interesting.
In summary, I recommend a three-screen combination, with the center screen set as the commentary angle, the co-driver’s screen as the close-up angle, and the second-row screen as the tactical angle.
In this combination, the main camera angle is the tactical angle, allowing you to directly see the player’s running position and technical style. At the same time, with the help of the commentary angle, you can have a better understanding of the whole game. The close-up angle can allow you to see the coaches and players’ facial expressions at the first time. It’s really interesting, such as when they react emotionally after scoring a goal.
The above is the strategy for watching football in a car. At 18:00 tonight, Argentina will play against Saudi Arabia and Messi will appear on the field. You can experience the fun of watching multiple angles at the same time in the car!
