| xfxf | mithro: something I'm noticing is happening increasingly with venues is AV companies are insisting on running laptops at the back with a Windows machine + expect presenters to give them slides on a USB stick | 22:13 |
|---|---|---|
| xfxf | and they're usually non-negotiable on that. thus far i've been able to convince them otherwise but I expect I'm going to hit a situation where it's not | 22:13 |
| xfxf | the typical way they're video recorded is they'll setup an additional HDMI or HD-SDI out from their switcher for the video recording company | 22:14 |
| xfxf | i'm also noticing presenters are increasingly expecting this too, particularly if they're not in the technical conference space - i.e. they'll rock up to their room without a laptop and their slides on a USB stick and give it to us | 22:14 |
| xfxf | i'm going to alter my workflow a little, but just FYI, as it impacts some of your plans | 22:15 |
| xfxf | i think this is going to become more and more normal as venues upgrade their in-house AV setups | 22:15 |
| xfxf | oh, to be clear, this is usually additional to a laptop feed at the front, but i've now hit a few conferences where the laptop at the back + a slide clicker tool is supplied *without* a front laptop feed, and i've had to convince them otherwise | 22:16 |
| xfxf | this doesn't work at all for the technical conference space for obvious reasons. i understand entirely why it's done for non-technical conferences though, it'll result in a better experience for the delegates given usual laptop mucking around | 22:17 |
| xfxf | (we solve that by knowing the space well and having technical/procedural solutions to it - i.e. HDMI2USB locking down resolution, training volunteers to ensure laptops are plugged in to power, etc) | 22:18 |
| tumbleweed | xfxf: even at technical conferences, some speakers don't have laptops / laptop video output just doesn't work | 22:53 |
| tumbleweed | so, having the conference have a coulpe of spare laptops around is always a good idea | 22:53 |
| tumbleweed | (not having laptops is probably more of a third world thing, but it's definitely a thing) | 22:54 |
| xfxf | oh agreed, I usually have that anyway | 23:19 |
| xfxf | more so the setups I'm noticing more and more prevent us from sticking a device at the lecturn to intercept the video signal | 23:20 |
| tumbleweed | you mean technical conferences are using venues that are totally unequipped for them? | 23:41 |
| tumbleweed | the HDMI over CAT6 extenders seem to work reasonably well | 23:41 |
