Snake Valley Broadcast Screen Grabs

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

Bert rang me and during the conversation he asked about my video capture set-up.
So I thought I would put it up to show how it was set up at Camp in the Rotunda

1. The Samsung SCC-A2333 in the Saxon 120mm f5 Achromat.

2. The 'Control Centre'

3. Labelled, so you know what is what

It was very good to see everything almost live

[Jen]

great stuff Ken you had a nice little set up in the rotunda

A couple of comfy armchairs would have been nice

You could have gone and got some from the Rec Room

Actually, it might be a lot more comfortable broadcasting from the Rec Room next time, and put the Live feed up on the wall via Projector

And a intravenous drip of what ever you like
Also a butler (male/female) who feeds you bite sized snacks when asked for
All this whilst lying very cozy in a hammock or banana lounge

Is the GPUSB connected via serial to the mount with a hard line?

Yes Marc. And plugged into the EQ6's guiding port.
You can see where it plugs in to the mount in the 1st pic. It's the flat silver cable

Cool. The antenna next to it on the pic confused me. So the samsung camera is hardwired direct to the lappy which broadcast live stream by the wireless dongle?

Yes Marc. The aerial on top of the Desktop is for net-surfing on that PC whilst broadcasting on the lappy


Here is the Guide Port on the mount, Marc

Cool - got it now. Sweet set-up. That'd be a riot for school/public nights or star parties.

Nice one Ken, It was interesting occasionally popping in on you to see you broadcasting away and the targets you were showing.


Cheers Daniel.
