Here is my post about this subject to AGCentral.org a while back -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been asked by some academics if it is possible to either through hardware/electronics or through software to find out some way of showing them onscreen (or with a light in the room) that the "talk" is active.. (similar to a "doorbell" type thing). We run our AG via several computers and if I am on the display machine or the video machine I have to switch back to the audio computer to see if the "talk" is active or not.. Is there any way that on the display of our own streams, that in the title bar at the top, that someone might be clever enough to code in some sort of way to show the "talk" is on.. My thought was to change the titlebar text to red, showing that it is "talk" active I dont have any sort of coding skills in this area and dont really know how much it would involve.. does anyone have any thoughts on doing this or something with a red "recording" light in the room?? I think AGDevicecontrol may allow some clever clogs to code up something to trigger by serial a doorbell or strobelight Thanks Matt R -- Matt Rendell Access Grid Operator - Technical Theatre Support Theatre Support, Information Services Division Flinders University, Adelaide SA Phone: 08 8201 5728 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> "I reject your reality and substitute my own." - Adam Savage, Mythbusters
