 +Saturday @ CMEX:
 +
 +> It has a video switcher, very nice projector and control room and three
 +> PTZ cameras (one in the back and two on the left and right of the stage)
 +> that output HD-SDI.
 +>
 +> I found my notes, the cameras were Vaddio high resolution PZT, like this:
 +>
 +> [[http://www.vaddio.com/comparePTZCameras]]
 +>
 +> I could not see the model number but it must have been one of the top three
 +> in that page (probably the HD18 or > 19 from the look of them).
 +
 +> They also had a Miranda 32x32 HD SDI router, a very nice touch control panel in the Stage for controlling 
 +> everything and SDI connections on both sides of the Stage, plus RS232 plugs to control the cameras. Again, 
 +> more detail when we visit CEMEX again. 
 +
 +== Infrastructure ==
 +
 +We're looking into dvswitch. 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.
 +
 +Jörn has been running current git with the liveMedia layer, and it seems to work as advertised.
 +
 +No color correction, no scaling, currently no semi-transparent overlays((it is trivial to patch in overlay feature - robin has a working patch - the hard part is to expose it properly in the user-interface -- patch @ [[http://rg42.org/gitweb/?p=dvswitch.git]])). The latter should be simple because there is an auto-fade option already - all we need is a manual control.
 +
 +Robin has a collection of useful streaming scripts at [[http://rg42.org/gitweb/?p=lac2011.git;a=tree;f=tools;]]
 +
 +Our network operations guy is Carr Wilkerson  carrlane at ccrma .
 +
 +== To do ==
 +
 +  * create short intro trailer (CCRMA and lac logos would be nice, Fernando has some sound snippets) -- underway: [[http://download.linuxaudio.org/lac2012/]]
 +  * work out a way to receive and decode a B-format stream, perhaps including video
 +  * document this for users
 +  * set up a B-format test stream (loop)
