President Obama’s appointee to the Supreme Court Sonia Sotomayor is facing the Senate this week for her approval hearings.
C-SPAN is offering a 4 camera live coverage from the court room allowing each user switch pick their angle. The multi-channel player with refreshing live thumbnails of the streams was developed in 2 days using the power of the soon to be launched Livestream API.
C-SPAN has previously used Livestream to cover the 2009 US elections, broadcasting debates and election-related events through the “C-SPAN Debate Cam“. They also provided one of the most in-depth online coverages of Inauguration Day, as President Obama was taking his oath of office.
