The original intention was to stream both stages in their entirety, on two independent video streams. One would be the normal hardware located in Goodrike, and the other would be a specially commissioned machine located in Vanbrugh and sending the stream back over the campus computer network. This required a separate video return to Goodrick for the stream (as the network would be showing a mixture of stages), as well as the extra computer system, and outlets for two streams at once. | |||
In practise, it didn't get sorted out due to a shortage of people and time. The second return feed was obtained via AV's feed from Central Hall to PX001 and thence the old Derwent return from PX003 to YSTV in Goodricke college. Matthew Tole sorted out some website improvements to support multiple streams, however the computer to encode this 2nd stream was never commissioned - the fact that the TV card supposed to capture the video refused to work wasn't a good start, and computing services also failed to register the MAC address needed to get a network connection in Vanbrugh. | |||
The fall-back position was therefore adopted, with the network video feed being hooked into the main streaming set-up in Goodricke, the single stream carrying the mixture of the two stages, which worked fine. | |||
