<p>I've put the plan up at

and also added a nifty diagram of how it might look.</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>@Nick_Sellan and myself spent some time last night looking at
set-ups for streaming and recording at HL in June. We came to
the conclusion that it was definitely doable and here's a
summary of what we found out.</p>
<p>I'll start with what we need first, then go on to our set-up.</p>
<p>We are up for doing it but feel <b>we need a couple of others
who are also up for it</b>, so that we are not 'stuck' doing
it and can between us coordinate to attend others' talks and
give our own, if we are.</p>
<p>We wonder if <b>someone has a spare Linux laptop (or desktop)</b>
(Nick can provide the spec) that they could dedicate to the
event to be the streaming laptop.</p>
<p><b>Co-ordinating with Gareth</b>, we'll need to double check
how the room can be set up and that it's suitable (light wise,
physical space, access to a screen to project onto) before
lugging the equipment to Sheffield.</p>
<p>And here's the summary:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>Using an install of <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://bigbluebutton.org/">BigBlueButton</a> and <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://bigbluebutton.org/2018/07/09/greenlight-2-0/">GreenLight</a>
we can do a video conferencing type presentation with a
presenter sharing a screen and their own laptop camera, and a
fixed video camera in the room.</li>
<li>We can have a separate audio set-up with a fixed ambient mic
for the room and a fix mic for the speaker. We also have a
wireless mic that could be used. The audio will come into a
small mixer, as will any audio from the speaker's laptop.</li>
<li>The speaker's laptop is connected to a video
projector/screen directly and audio out via the aforementioned
mixer.</li>
<li>We have a laptop dedicated to being the streaming laptop,
streaming the room audio and fixed video.</li>
<li>We can record every session using the BBB setup.</li>
<li>At AbbeyField House we have two rooms and felt that we could
have one with this set-up in and the other without. So to be
recorded streamed you'll need to be in the room, and being
recorded or streamed is not compulsory if in the room.<br>
</li>
<li>We felt the set-up would work for both 'presenter' style
talks with slides etc, a group discussion, a hybrid of the
two, and also for a remote speaker.</li>
</ol>
<p>Nick took notes from our discussion and experiments, so for
more in depth thoughts and notes GOTO: <br>

<p>There's a recording of our experiment if you'd like to see the
quality and have a laugh at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

(it's the longer of the two recordings, taken on the 24th
April).</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
