Hey Mikel, I thought I'd replied to your personal mail but obviously I didn't.
short answer: 800x600 long answer: The screen at The Trinity goes to a crazy resolution, but the frame grabber, and laptops used, and variety of presentations (some with lots transition animations) seem to find the sweet spot at 800x600. Also the software I was using seemed to get lots of crazy artefacts when we strayed too far from this resolution (and 60Hz). Given the speed and smoothness we want to transition between talks, I've always aimed for the 800x600 as a hard and fast rule - but it feels that the screen resolution is a little limiting when people are presenting more than just a presentation (ie, if they want to show code and/or web) The verbosity of this response is in case anyone wants to experiment with higher resolutions. I'm currently trialling camtasia to capture and it seems to capture the audio and video ok at higher resolution without taxing the CPU of my laptop (and without requiring much tweaking) I should be releasing the first batch of videos soon, and now that I'm in the groove should be quicker in getting back on track with them. Here's the spec of our frame grabber in case anyone is interested. http://www.epiphan.com/products/frame-grabbers/vga2usb/specifications/ J Quoting Mikel Lindsaar <raasd...@gmail.com>: > Hey Jason, > > What resolution do we project at? > > Mikel > > > On 14/09/2010, at 9:01 AM, ja...@codespike.com wrote: > > > I'm just chuffed you: > > > > a) signed up on the wiki early on > > b) signed up to talk :) > > > > I'll take you off the 'billing' if you want to call it that, but if you > feel up to it, talk tonight!
