Currently Chris Teeling (ZFM) has provisionally agreed to fix our blinds but put the floor etc on hold for a little while due to the potential to move into a new space. It should be noted this is a very early stage, the idea to move was mooted but nobody has said yes in any way shape or form. The individuals listed above are working on details.

== OB Stream/Receive ==
'''Responsible:''' [[User:sam.nicholson|Sam Nicholson]]/John Caine
'''Status:''' Sender works, receiver needs to be more robust
A computer, labelled YSTVOBSTRM is sent out on OBs. When started up it runs a hidden stream back to YSTV, which is "watched" by YSTVOBSTRMRE inside the control room. This is then fed into the [[Technical:Vision_Path]] to either be sent directly to the main stream or inserted into a show. The main advantage is the director/[[Tarantula]] can switch to the OB source at the right time rather than taking down the stream, enabling a continuous channel, along with allowing OBs to insert into live shows.
Currently the receiver needs to detect if a stream is there or not and keep trying, so as soon as one comes up it starts receiving. This may also fix the Live Link Laptop's problems. The receiver is also underpowered.
== Live Link Laptop ==
'''Responsible:''' [[User:sam.nicholson|Sam Nicholson]]
'''Status:''' Needs more stability testing
Fit up a laptop with a capture device and some cabling, and mount in a rucksack. Then, a camera op fires up the laptop, plugs in a camera and mic and we can live insert from anywhere with wifi!
[[User:Greg.ebdon|Greg]] notes we may have significant issues with cooling, may need to customize a spare rucksack supplied by John.


At present it works with the new YSTV laptop, but roaming between wireless APs causes it to go a bit wrong.

== OB Recording ==
'''Responsible:''' [[User:sam.nicholson|Sam Nicholson]]
'''Status:''' Server written, never tested. Client UI design done
Write a similar wrapper to the video server one for recording on OBs using the capture cards, along with a client to provide a director with record/stream controls, matrix controls, a running order and potentially internal IRC in one handy window.
