Thanks Euan,<br>

The idea is that we try and take the use of the AV platforms we've
been using to a bit more of a new level, and try and capture some of
the "hallway track" that makes up the buzz of LCA.<br>
<br>
I'm looking for a few people that want to stretch out dvswitch and
other tools at our disposal and fill some air time before the
keynote sessions of LCA and between blocks of sessions, whilst
during the sessions just take a feed from the most interesting feed
of the moment. <br>
<br>
However, I don't want to overshadow the really important work of
getting the presentation streams recorded and streamed - that is of
paramount importance, where as this side project is a bit of an
experiment, but hopefully a bit of fun.<br>
<br>
The main idea is for us to have a pair of couches, a couple of
cameras (2 - 3), perhaps a twinpact to or screengrab from X to
capture a laptop on the 'set', a couple of displays to show what's
being sent out, a screen to show current tweets, a little more
advanced audio capture (including - possibly - from a laptop for
Mumble chats/Skype or WebRTC?). We've got a number of 'tally lights'
to aid us, and perhaps jury rig a few other items we can play with.
We have a selection of microphones, but possibly not everything we
need - and whomever is mixing audio will be putting up with all
kinds of distractions!<br>
<br>
As to content - we've got a number of well known people to talk to,
so I'd like to cover off what we can technically achieve, and then
what we want to do with this platform. <br>
<br>
I'm going to suggest we use the PLUG AV mailing list above to talk
specifically about this project (unless the ideas overwhelm the PLUG
AV list, in which case we'll relocate):

(NB: this message is going to LCA Volunteer & PLUG AV lists, but
I'm dropping 'Volunteers to BCC'.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you're interested, and we'll set up a time this side
of New Years to chat about ideas.<br>
<br>
