If i may ask, why is it considered a long way off? I can see the potential to achieve those goals now with a little bit of hacking (both hardware and software)

arcticShadow: are you by chance "I play the js"?

nope. Thats Matt Mckegg(sp?)

I'm Cole :-)

Matt sounds familiar

I recorded his talk in Portland OR, USA a while ago, saw that xfxf did again for nz.js

arcticShadow: We are getting much closer to the "conference recording in a box, usable by experienced people" (I expect to see something along that vein by the end of the year)

arcticShadow: "conference recording in a box, usable by *anyone*" is a much harder task :-P

Hmm yea guess i'm not looking at it from a truly *anyone* point of view

I suggest you start using the tools we use

Would love to! Just need to convince my company that buying the hardware is a good investment.

arcticShadow: Where in NZ are you?

puck: is in NZ too

Which *shouldn't* be hard considering they are happy to drop ~6k(nzd) on 2 hours of live streaming + microphone & speaker setup 8 times a year

I'm based in Auckland (work CBD)

arcticShadow: I use bm declink cards with voctomix. I bet the stuff you already have could be added in pretty easy

arcticShadow: Hire xfxf? :-P

Thought he was bassed in AU?

arcticShadow: yeah but at ~$6k NZD it still might be worth his time :-P

well, if $350usd is a blocker...

Meeting at work

brb

er... let me back up.. what is preventing you from switching?

"buying the hardware" what hardware?

hahah yea figured we're paying to much. And the quality we get out of it is poor to say the least. had one last week were I watched from home and was getting nauseous with the operator tracking the presenter around the stage with far too much zoom.

ahh the prevention to obtaining the hardware is i can't (currently) fund it from my own pocket, and comp[any politics. (which state is easier to pay someone to mess it up, then get employees to do it for a fraction of the cost)

technically I have everything i need with the Bm devices/HD camera and Mac software to do it (and have in the past for smaller scale stuff) but the software is so flaky and fragile im not keen to try it on a larger scale.

what hardware?

arcticShadow: hi! welcome

:wave:

CarlFK: Im wanting to pickup the Opsis to play with - my BM devices cause my no end of greif. (also with a usb/ethernet device I wont be limited to Mac)

arcticShadow: sure, but don't let that block you from trying the rest of our stack

what bm device? (part no or url or something

arcticShadow: the hdmi2usb's work well, i've not found anything else i like that I can use with linux + a laptop

and we also use blackmagic pcie capture devices for some events and find them pretty solid tbh, but that's a very different use-case to the hdmi2usb. hdmi2usb does some neat tricks like lock down the EDID and provide an output, so they're great as a passthrough device at the lecturn for laptop capture

the only realistic equiv with a blackmagic gear is to use an expensive scan converter / video matrix device, and do a HD-SDI copy out into a capture card

which we actually did in track 1 at nz.js, but that's because the AV company already had it sitting there

it's an expensive option normally

I've got a thunderbolt intensity extreme, and a UltraStudio Mini Recorder

UltraStudio Mini Recorder - pci-e card that goes in a desktop?

not sure on that link? its an external thunderbolt connection

ah, not what I use

but. bm seems to have pretty good linux support

if you want to dip your toe in https://github.com/CarlFK/voctomix-outcasts#get...

heh - Havnt seen many machines with decent Thunderbolt support running linux :-)

anyway, I gotta go eat dinner

you time travelers should stay in the future :p

I've started playing with voctomix (i was asking questions RE core+gui running in docker a week or so back)

back

arcticShadow: do you do ansible ?

I could use some eyes on https://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy

Title: GitHub - CarlFK/video-stack-deploy (at github.com)

i havn't yet touched ansible

Whats the overview of the goals of that stack?

record and produce videos

Ping

I have been trying to setup the litex firmware ....

The fact is I run the script behind a proxy.

As a result of which :

The command git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/edid-decode does not work (which needs ssh tunneling and is really hard to do under proxy)

My suggestion is we can simply replace git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/edid-decode with https://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/ed...

which work everywhere and I think both des the same functioning.

I will make a PR with this change if You feel it's ok

@mithro

and one more thing is that when we install the conda packages ... we get an error saying no supported dependencies for socks ....

for which we have to do export all_proxy="https://hostname:portnumber" ...

It will be very comfortable for people working under proxy to install the setup if we find an alternative or a note to deal with the error ...

As most of the students work under proxy .... I think it's an important thing to deal with .... Thank you :)
