Carl Gherardi's talk on IPV6 and ... well ... just that really.

Hey - we've been looking at getting one of these - once we have a PC
with USB3 on it. All the kit we have at the moment is a little (lot)
older! ;)<br>

Right now, we have a grant rquest in for a bunch of laptops tripods,
and some standard firewire cameras (we've just been rehashing the
camera spec). The laptops we're looking at are all USB and
ExpressCard enabled - so we have flexibility to play with the
intensity once we have this, but we'll also have a fully working
solution from the moment this grant is approved. <br>

<div>You can also go a little crazy and get hardcore by taking
your video feeds into a mixing desk like the <a

VR-5 </a> and output it via a converter to a Linux box.</div>

Looks like a neat video mixer. Great entry level unit, but
obviously non-free. ;)<br>
