[PLUG-AV] Workshop results

[James Bromberger]

Hi all,

We had about 6 of us at one time working on the AV kit - thanks to
everyone who turned up and had a go on the equipment.


It was reasonably quick this week getting everything set up. The good:

* The new switch worked fine!
* Using the host names "av2.local" worked for everything
(dvsource-firewire, and mumble)


Our main issues we found form the night were:

* The new audio mixer has a rather weird power adaptor that isn't
accepting of 240V, so we need to try and get an AU version of it.
* The audio capture on AV1 still doesn't work, so should be used for the
Twinpact capture (Jason's recommendation, I agree)
* The AV2 box can take some time to POST during boot; just wait for it....


We also managed to get one tally light built, but not yet working
(starting dvsource-firewire with the "-t" flag prints tally information
on STDOUT; need to find/write a script to open/close serial port...)



Now, we've got one week until our next outing at UCC at UWA; parking in
Red and Yellow pages is restricted at UWA until 5pm
(http://www.parking.uwa.edu.au/parking/handbook/student). So I'll be
trying to park probably around 5:30pm by the UWA Tavern with all the kit
ready for us to lug it up stairs and get set up; we need to have a video
stream working by around 6:15pm, ready for a 6:30pm start.
