Notes:

  • We'll have 3 DV sources: 2 cameras and 1 from the twinpact. They all need to be connected to some PC. Either the dv switch via a long fw cable, or a dv capture box.
  • We need at least 3 microphones per room: 1 condenser pair, 1 wireless that can be passed around in the audience, and 1 for the speaker which is preferably a headset. 4 or 5 per room would be better.
  • We need at least 1 mic stand for the condenser mic pair (the set comes with a dual microphone mount).
  • 1 headphone for the audio mixer. It would be nice if the main camera also has one (can be cheap).


Other bofs (not streamed):

  • 1 camera?
