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!

Main Stage DA (looking at the front, so from the back numbers increase from left to right)

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.
