OB talk:Woodstock 2010

Malcolm's preliminary proposal

I'm not writing it all out again, use this link to see my proposal and comments on the draft version, with suggestions of where to put certain equipment, and justification for some of these locations/applications.

As a definite concensus/decision is made on where or how to use something the current 'permanent' version should be updated.

Any disagreements with anything there then please detail below.

Also can we please soon decide collectively on where howard should go and whether we're doing both 4:3 or only the indoor stage. This is also a presentation/production matter to some extent.

Mike

aspect ratio fun:

• I think if the clever Nvidia graphics idea doesn't come up with anything by the end of your answeres rubbish (tuesday), we'll have to call it as all 4:3. (aww, I was looking forward to 16:9...).
• To give us a better chance next year at going widescreen, my suggestion is to also record widescreen 16:9 footage at the same time on the HD's and the Sky cam (like, a tape in each cam). Anyone brave enough can then edit up some 16:9 with sound from our digital copies and from VTA/VTB (whichever one ends up serving the mainstage), the sets from this year are then usable whatever happens next year...
• Sky cam location, your location seems good Malcolm, - i'd forgotten about the trees! , Can you slap that into the notes section?
• I'd say more now, but apparently I have some "jeff" acting to do for Manm Man at 10am... as long is it doesn't involve jam!

Destinations

Main Stage broadcast

Main Stage Rack

• VT 'P169'
• Main DA
• DaVE P169
• DaVE

Main Stage DA (looking at the back, this is what the DA will look like)

	DA 01	DA 02	DA 03	DA 04	DA 05	DA 06	DA 07	DA 08	DA 09	DA 10	DA 11	DA 12	DA 13	DA 14	DA 15

Output 1	VT P169 1	VT P169 2	VT P169 3	VT P169 4	VT P169 6	VT P169 7	VT P169 8						VT P169 5

Output 5
Output 6				DaVE P169 4 IN	DaVE P169 6 IN	DaVE P169 7 IN	DaVE P169 8 IN						STREAM
Output 7	DaVE P169 1 IN	DaVE P169 2 IN	DaVE P169 3 IN	NO 7th OUT	NO 7th OUT	NO 7th OUT	NO 7th OUT	NO 7th OUT	NO 7th OUT	NO 7th OUT	NO 7th OUT	NO 7th OUT	NO 7th OUT	NO 7th OUT	NO 7th OUT

All 7 inputs (listed above) into 7 sequential DA inputs.

An output from each of these seven will be fed into DaVE P169 (but omitting input 5 as it brightens the image).

Only use one of each pair of outputs from DaVE P169 (especially in the case of output 'B' as it struggles with both), feed each of these four into the DA, then one of these four DA outputs to a preview monitor, the other to DaVE itself.

Dave out into corriogen and the broadcast signal out. Broadcast into a DA and out to a preview monitor and also to a computer for world wide transmission.

Since VT 'P169' doesn't currently have a use, it could be used for controlling preview monitors. though this is a bit of a waste and there will probably be a better use. Also having preview monitors with variable sources could be confusing. Somtehing to think about later possibly.

Remember to put DaVE's B&B into VT P169

Preview monitors:

4 DaVE INs

DaVE Preview

DaVE Out?

Graphics Out (assuming we have graphics for ticker bar etc.)

Possibly Another four selectable from VT 'P169's eight inputs. These 8 inputs will probably be the 7 inputs to DaVE P169, and possibly graphics.

Indoor Stage broadcast

OB Trolley with very little alteration.

Use the 4->1 PIP and already-mounted monitor. Also have a monitor for the main out and one for VT PC, or whatever equivalent is dedicated to the indoor path.

Inputs to the DA:

• Wide
• Stage Left
• Stage Right
• Switch (VT PC / Drummer)
• VT PC (or equiv)
• Max Out (even if Max duplicates its output, which I don't think it does, the preview should be as late in the path as possible)

Main Stage DA (looking at the back, this is what the DA will look like)

	DA 01	DA 02	DA 03	DA 04	DA 05	DA 06
INPUT	Wide	Stage Left	Stage Right	VT PC / Drummer	VT PC	MAX Out
Output 1	4-1 PIP	4-1 PIP	4-1 PIP	4-1 PIP	Prev Mon	Prev Mon
Output 2
Output 3	Max 1	Max 2	Max 3	Max 4	VT / Drum Switch	STREAM
Output 4

(Only Four outputs and one loop thru I think)
