We have three head sets right now, and thus far we've not been able
to get audio in/out on each of our capture boxes working well enough
to use them! Jason managed to get the small form factor box (AV3 I
think) working well (except the USB mouse need to be unplugged and
plugged back in for some reason before it works). But the others
seem to have all kinds of problems to sort out.<br>
<br>
Does anyone want to take one of the AV capture boxes home and play
with it to get it working? You can pick one up from me any time, so
long as we get them all to the next venue (IBM) in June.... Jason's
going to take the AV2 box (Brads AMD box) and play with that... but
there are two more boxes that could take someone looking at. Ideally
they should all fire up and log in as user "av" automatically into
gnome; fire up mumble and a terminal session (ready for the
dbsource-firewire command)....<br>
<br>
The issue we had with mumble on the AV3 was mumble shot to 100% CPU
usage, but I think that's fixed now (was a sound card issue).<br>
<br>
We should also probably have another workshop day; however, I think
we should consider a Sunday, as squeezing this in on a weekday
evening is a little tight. We need to get a good set of procedures
in place to get equipment rolled out quickly on site.<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li>Work out where the cameras will be, and where the presenter
will be (for the twinpact). </li>
<li>Work out where the mix desk will be</li>
<li>Work out the power feeds to the equipment</li>
<li>Work out the connection from DVswitch host to internet
(optional, only if we're streaming live) (via switch, or second
interface on DVswitch host?)</li>
<li>Work out the network runs to connect from cameras to switch</li>
<li>Run power cables, tape to floor</li>
<li>Run Ethernet cables, tape to floor</li>
<li>Power everything on</li>
<li>Get DVswitch running</li>
<li>Get video sources streaming to DVswitch</li>
<li>Get audio happening</li>
</ol>
<br>
People required:<br>
* Camera operator x2<br>
* DVswitch operator<br>
* Audio mixer operator? Perhaps also pointing a directional mic the
right way as well for questions)<br>
<i>* Lighting operator - one day? ;)</i><br>
<br>
So with our audio being one source right now, it SHOULD be set and
forget i the DVswitch operator can be listenign to the captured
audio to listen for static/interference/dead batteries. So we need
three people running the capture, with the DVswitch operator
co-ordinating the framing of the two cameras while switching vision
- lets call it "directing"!<br>
