Stream Team Planning

all very preliminary, but coming together… — Jörn Nettingsmeier 2012/01/28 00:34

• Sony HDR-HC1 cam, does 16:9 720i, mini-jack stereo mic in
• Canon GL2 cam, 4:3 DV, Composite out, YC out, 4.2-84mm f1.6-2.9, mini-jack stereo mic in
• one unidentified consumer cam (Fernando)
• good tripod with Manfrotto head
• a few crappy tripods

• one main room for the paper track (Campbell Recital Hall; will have to move somewhere else on the 14th)
• one or two workshop tracks
• concert (optional)

We're looking into dvswitch. Robin points out that network links are not latency-compensated, 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. 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;
