We have another dead machine that we didn't take to the venue last
night - AV4; so that's two down of the four we had. Does someone
want to see if they can resurrect one working by combining parts of
either? If anyone has time, let me know. While we probably won't
normally have three video cameras in operation, having two would be
good (having just one camera is a little boring).<br>

I think having the right equipment, that is all consistent,
removing the on fly changes will go a long way to sorting out
the issues we had last night. I'm fairly confident we could
script a lot of the manual command running we have to do during
setup as well (I have some ideas). Ideally the AV boxes could be
headless. Plug in network, plug in power, switch on and walk
away.</div>

Headless is potentially an issue for running Mumble; sadly, there's
only an X windows client for it, and not a command line one (new
project, anyone?). Ideally we wouldnt need X on the video
dvsource-firewire hosts, and thus it would require less resources.<br>

I had some correspondence from LotteryWest on Friday, just some more
paperwork to forward - so its still ticking over. <br>

It also became apparent that we need a few more audio connectors in
our bag of tricks: a 3.5mm stereo mic jack gender bender - F-F,
along with male RCA to F 3.5mm could have been useful, and
potentially a 3.5mm splitter to give laptop audio to room and a copy
to line in on the mixing desk?? Anyone got any of these? Not to
mention a 4pin to 4pin firewire cable....<br>
