RE: Cameras / Mics

[David Jenkins]

Jon,

 

I’m very sorry, but I’m not able to come to the conference. The situation at 
work has gotten worse and there’s no way I can leave. The conference program 
looks so good too. I hate to miss it.

 

If there is anything I can do to help with facilities from Connecticut, let me 
know. Feel free to call my cell phone if you have a question.

 

Sorry,

Dave Jenkins

Jon,

 

If the microphones and cameras aren’t in Marshall’s closet, I suspect they’re 
in the ACP basement. I checked, and I don’t have them.

 

On another note, I am very busy at work and there’s a possibility that I won’t 
be allowed to leave. Is there anyone else who could take over facilities if I 
can’t make it? I’m still hopeful, but I thought you should know the situation.

 

Thanks,

Dave

Dave, Marshall,

 

Since Bash Films is again doing our recording, we don’t need our three cameras, 
but we may need one. Where are the three cameras that the conference owns?

 

One reason that we might need one is that we’ll again film an episode of 
Cpp.chat at C++Now. We did this last year and used a conference camera. We also 
had a microphone that we passed to speakers. But I don’t know where the 
microphone came from. Does the conference own any mics? Do you know where it 
came from?

 

Another reason that we might need a camera is to shot video of attends making 
endorsements.

 

We also need to think about having a “throwing” mic. This is discussed every 
year during the planning meeting, but we never actually order one. Do you know 
what we’d need? If we just order something like this:

 <https://www.buyqball.com/> https://www.buyqball.com/

 <https://getcatchbox.com/> https://getcatchbox.com/

 

Is that all we need to do?

 

Jon

[Robin Kuzmin]

The ball mics are needed not that much for recording the QUESTIONS
but more for recording the DISCUSSIONS, when the audience talks even more than 
the Speaker does, and the "right to talk" quickly passes from one part of the 
room to the other and back randomly.
In the discussion cases REPEATING THE QUESTION by the Speaker is not an option. 
Passing around the FRAGILE wireless mic slows down the discussion.
Throwing the ball mic is the rescue.

That’s pretty much my thought, too.
For the sessions in Paepcke, have the ball.

For sessions in Bethe and/or Hudson, I don’t think we need it.
For Flug, it could be useful.

My suggestion would be if the room is small enough that you do not need 
amplification speakers - just have the presenter repeat the audience questions. 
 For the larger room we would take the audio from the sound board - and if you 
buy the throwing ball mic - no problem, we will be able to capture it.

If I brought my Zoom H5, which has two XLR inputs, as well as an extra line in, 
and can record - would that help?

Hi Phil,

In the case of a small room, which does not have amplification speakers or a 
sound board - our individual wireless mic is connected directly to the camera 
for recording.  The wireless mic is connected via a XLR input on the camera.  
There is a single connection per wireless mic.

Best,
Mark

Re: Cameras / Mics

[Mark Bashian]

Hi Team - 

THROWING BALL / RECORDING INTEGRATION
- Think of the throwing ball mic as just a regular handheld mic that would be 
passed around for Q

- If this ball is utilized in the main room that has A/V support, meaning there 
is a sound board where multiple mics could be plugged in (such as every room at 
CppCon) we are able to record from it (because we get the audio from the sound 
boards.)

- At C++ NOW, some of the rooms do not have a sound board, and we record the 
presenter audio by using our own wireless mics. For these types of rooms we 
would NOT be able to utilize the ball mic.

In summary, if there is a sound board with multiple inputs running to PA 
speakers to amplify the speaker, it is easy to integrate the ball mic.  For 
smaller rooms where there is no speaker amplification and we are using our own 
wireless mics, we would not be able to record from the ball mic.

All the best,
Mark Bashian
