[Air-L] Livestreaming at AOIR

[Joly MacFie]

Hi,

This is my area of expertise, as I regularly run webcasts for ISOC.

YouTube offer a good free service, it's a little quirky, needs a practice
or two, but works well. Allows embedding. Other pluses - it's html5 and
IPv6 and converts to multibitrate. Segmenting is hard, but one can index
afterwards. Easy enough to set up separate events for all three tracks.

You do need to have a YouTube channel that is validated via SMS.

Alternatively we at ISOC could lend you a Livestream server, f'rinstance
http://bit.ly/isoctv - Simple software client - Segmenting is easy. Just
stop and start on the breaks. and it's possible, if you have the slides on
the streaming machine, to easily do split screen. Only one track.

But, and it's a big but, what really matters is getting a clean audio
signal - preferably a direct line from the board - alternatively the output
from a zoom recorder positioned close to either speakers or the podium.
There'[s a further tricky bit to match input to the pc unless it has line
in.

Happy to help in any way I can.
