Then again, if it's wireless I could walk the laptop by all the photos in the exhibit to let viewers around the world seem them on display! Rent a Hover-Round or borrow one of the local supermarket's electric shoppers and bungee your laptop to the basket for a smooth round-room pan. If you need it, a light 32° off center will help light the crowds as well as even the illumination on the prints. :-) Joseph McAllister Lots of gear, not much time http://gallery.me.com/jomac http://web.me.com/jomac/show.me/Blog/Blog.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Any pointers? http://www.apple.com/quicktime/broadcaster/faq.html To how many viewers can QuickTime Broadcaster deliver a live event? QuickTime Broadcaster sends out a single stream that can be viewed by one QuickTime Player on a standards-compliant device. If more than one QuickTime Player will view your broadcast you will need access to a streaming server or a multicast-enabled network. For more information about using a streaming server with QuickTime Broadcaster or multicasting please visit QuickTime Broadcaster Help, located under the Help menu in the application. Where can I find a list of companies offering webcasting services?

Anyone looking into doing the webcam video from Chicago?
Is anyone seriously investigating this? Seems like a cool idea (if we can get an Internet connection at the gallery). I have a Lenovo laptop running Windows 7 and a Dell netbook running Mac OSX 10.6.2 and both have teleconferencing cameras. If someone wants to have a go just tell me which one I should bring. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Anyone looking into doing the webcam video from Chicago?
I have done a little Google research on this. Note that so far I was assuming use of my Mac, have not delved into what may be available on the Windows side. 1. Skype allows conference calls but I suspect this is an expensive and cumbersome way to go. 2. There are many programs that support video upload, e.g. to your own web site or to YouTube. 3. Streaming video is a problem though. Most solutions for the Mac build on OS-X Server tools. 4. I skipped by a couple of high-dollar commercial solutions. 5.. This may be a likely cross-platform solution, but my initial impression is that it requires a higher geek factor than I am able to bring to bear. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ stan On Apr 27, 2010, at 6:48 AM, m...@robertstech.com wrote: Is anyone seriously investigating this?
