Sadly DIA has advised our client (a broadcaster) that we're not allowed to place our cameras on site and so the job has been canned. Its really sad as it was a great application for webcasting. But the powers that be have decided "no cameras". <sigh>
"No Cameras", yet they're having cameras to feed out to TV screens in the neighbouring cathedral and in the Domain..?
You can't just get a feed from those perhaps?
No - the plan was for us to webcast a different part of the 2 days, not the "main event", so it would have been our cameras. Often we take an "international" or "clean" feed and mix that with our cameras. There is some discussion as to whether an international grade clean feed is available. RNZ are unable to make a clean feed available. There have been some space issues. The bottom line is we were turned down. DIA don't want cameras in the bit we were asked to cover. Sorry I'll explain later over beer - a bit of broadcaster competition was occuring. On the bright side - its 20hours driving less to do, and Jeremy doesn't have to fly to NZNOG in/out of AKL. He gets to fly out of DNN to WLG - then drive to AKL. Rich

From TVNZ's press release: "In addition to TVNZ's own live broadcast on TV ONE, live streaming on tvnz.co.nz and replay on TVNZ ondemand, TVNZ has offered the broadcast free of charge to domestic and international radio and television broadcasters and agencies.
"So far the following news organisations have requested access to the TVNZ feed: ABC Australia, Al Jazeera, APTN, BBC, Channel 9 Australia, Channel 10 Australia, CNN, EBU (European Broadcasting Union), Reuters Australia, SBS Australia, Sky News Australia, Prime/Sky, Radio Works, TV Works, and Newstalk ZB." One would assume that this is a clean feed, since it will be used (domestically) by the competing networks too. -- simon
