... *Q* How often have we got local broadcasters involved in our events? *A* Very rarely. *Q* Could we live broadcast events ourselves? *A* Maybe.... This is a page to collate ideas. *Contributions welcome!* ---- h3. What & Why h5. Sporting events * FAI constituents frequently wonder 'what does FAI do for us?'.

... * Should plenary meetings be broadcast to everyone, or perhaps just to Delegates who have a proxy in the the meeting? h3. How * Interesting article at [tvtechnology.com|http://www.tvtechnology.com/equipment/0082/telestream-helps-series-sail-on-the-web/212147] about how they broadcast [Extreme Sailing|http://www.extremesailingseries.com/] live with minimal equipment. * [Justin tv|http://community.justin.tv/mediawiki/index.php/Faq#What_is_a_Pro_account.3F] invented the notion of [lifecasting|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifecasting_%28video_stream%29] * [Google Hangout|http://www.google.com/+/learnmore/hangouts/] possible set-up for meetings: ** A number of laptops or smart-phones with webcam and microphone are laid around the table covering as many delegates as possible. Their speaker volume must be turned to zero. ** A open conference is created among those laptops or smartphones. ** Remote delegates join the conference. As they join an open conference they will only be receivers. ** Remote delegates use chat, mail, voice or whatever to privately communicate with their proxies in the room. *Problems*: ** This requires a minimum bandwidth provided by the host (FAI office in this case). Both internet and local network (cable or WiFi) bandwidths must be considered. ** Homogeneous laptops or smart-phones should be used, and they should also be provided by the host. ** Thorough testing is necessary before starting the conference. ** An open conference is open to anybody who finds it in Google, not only delegates.
