== Infrastructure ==

dvswitch [[http://rg42.org/gitweb/?p=dvswitch.git|LAO patched version]].  Robin points out that network links are not latency-compensated((a fixed offset can be configured manually, but there are known drift and sync problems.)), so all cams must be hooked to the dvswitch machine directly. For the VGA capture, a netlink would be ok.


Robin has a collection of useful streaming scripts at [[http://rg42.org/gitweb/?p=lac2011.git;a=tree;f=tools;]]
