It will be if we can get an Internet connection at the gallery (I
emailed Sue Barton but haven't received a reply yet). Even better if
it's hard-wired rather than wireless, because it's faster and we'll be
able to go for a better quality feed.

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.   :-)

If anyone has one of those firewire video cameras you could do it in 
(for the internet) HD.

I just got off the phone with Sue.  The entire DANK building has unsecured 
wireless.  She said she has gotten decent reception in the gallery. HTH.

Oops, spoke too soon: The Quicktime thing isn't going to happen but I

I don't think it will work properly unless you have OS-X Server (not just 
end-user OS-X).

OK, I've got the next step: I need to connect to a streaming server. 
Anyone got one of those kicking around? Didn't think so.

I don't think this live video from the gallery opening is going to
happen.

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?

Visit our QuickTime Services page for a list of companies offering
webcasting services and more.

I've seen my Twitter contacts and such use "ustream" for streaming
video.  Based on the kinds of things they've used it for, there's no
way they're spending much money or effort on it.

http://www.ustream.tv/

Unfortunately I can't do any research on it at this moment.

Re: Anyone looking into doing the webcam video from Chicago?

[Stan Halpin]

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.

Along those lines, there was discussion of a gallery of the photos that 
didn't make it into the book.  I'd love to see those presented as a 
slide show.

Anyone looking into doing the webcam video from Chicago?

[mark]

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.
