We have a webcast tomorrow - Tuesday 4 May 2004 NZ Wireless Data Forum conference at Te Papa. http://www.r2.co.nz/20040504

Are the streams being recorded for later after-the-event downloads at all?

I wonder if someone is asleep at the wheel ? :) Stream 1 has music playing over the top of the presentation.... Regards, Simon

damn - caught !! was a simple patching problem. Thats what happens when a "simple" webcast gets into a show. Suddenly we're also running network cables for all sorts of folks.

That happend at the end of the first talk as well, only in this one - it was just as it got interesting. I have a suspiciion we entered NDA mode , there was a sudden lack of slides shown on the projector, lack of audio, only to come back as he says "thats all, any questions?".

I had both audio inputs on the same mixer, with the music and had them on different mix buses. I had to rely on cues from each camera op as to what was happening as listening to the intercom and 2 audio feeds is torture. Some cues weren't clear and in the rush the wrong level got adjusted. ie music for 1 was brought up over 1 stream instead of bringing up 2. Got to think how to make dual streams simpler. Can we handle more than 2 ? Needs some thinking. Thanks everyone for the comments. It wasn't a high profile webcast, but some interesting stuff. Videos will be up prob next week. rich
