Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Presenters - a shared presentation machine? really????
Might be worth finding some people from previous years; I think previous years managed recording of presentation projection (if not live screencast), despite presenters swapping out machines. They did it somehow.

All talks will be streamed, and following the conference the video will be deposited in the Internet Archive and IU ScholarWorks (IU’s research repository). We’ll need your permission both to stream and to deposit, and at some point you’ll be provided with a permission form. Please let me know now if you don’t intend to give permission to stream and/or to have your talk deposited. There are several logistical issues related to the video streaming. 1) In order to minimize technical problems mid-session, and to ensure smooth transitions between speakers, we’ll be loading presentation materials on the presentation laptops prior to each session. You should come to the session in which you are scheduled 20 minutes early, with your presentation materials loaded on a USB drive (or be prepared to download your materials from the web), so we’re sure to have time to download everyone’s stuff. If you prefer to run your presentation straight from your USB key we can do that as well, just let me know. There will be volunteers contacting each session’s group of speakers the week before the conference to remind you of this. Please contact me now if you think this requirement will be an issue for you. 2) In order to have a successful recording, you’ll need to be mic’d. Please let me know if you’d prefer to use the podium mic or a lapel mic. Generally, if you like to move around a lot when you speak, you’re better off using the lapel mic. 3) Related to the previous point – will your presentation include audio from the laptop? If so, please let me know. Thanks very much. We’re looking forward to having you here next month!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Presenters - a shared presentation machine? really????
I had a similar response. If the shared computer is exactly like mine, I might consider it. I have used a gadget called a TwinPact that sits between the 'puter and the projector and sucks out the video. It also has primitive, but useful, switching between sources and audio integration.
