  It started just a few months ago, and the first major was being used for
the video streams from Debconf7 in Edinburgh.  That was two weeks ago.
Dvswitch performed very well, considering the short period of development.

  In its current state, it is prudent to have Ben (the developer) nearby,
though.  That's why I am cc-ing the Debconf Video Team's mailing list.

  If you have many computers and a few computer geeks to run the show,
that is.  Those are commodities at gatherings like Debconf.

  We have not yet developed support for tally lights, talkback and
colour correction or fading/wiping/PiP (in that order-ish).

  Is this from an NTSC or PAL camera?

  I'll refer to Ben; he might know what questions to ask...
