Setting up for webcasting

Most of today has been spent setting up the cameras and equipment for a webcast on Friday. Seaghan can't be there so it will be myself and Andrew, so it's going to be much more of a challenge! Luckily I've helped out on the last two webcasts so that's been good experience, and Seaghan talked me through setting everything up so it should hopefully all go according to plan! So I will be communicating with the venue about the setup, and then myself, Trevor and Andrew will be going down on Thursday to set up for Friday.

We had some problems the last few times with the overload of information; updating the current bids in Wirecast sometimes causes the programme to crash as it can't cope with such speedy updates. To get around this, we are using Telestream Desktop Presenter, which will communicate with a Powerpoint presentation on which we will display the bids. This means the information isn't being logged directly to Wirecast, meaning that it uses up less resources and hopefully a smoother run of the auction. So I'm looking forward to the new challenge!
