This show was recorded in front of a live audience online.

Hosts include Phil Greenwood, Cameron Stephens, Alan Jones, and James Bellew.

After much dicking around we got the broadcast system operational. If you are interested it sort of goes like this.

Video over firewire to Mac Pro into BoinxTV to control video streams and graphics. Audio via Mic in studio and via Skype on MacBookPro into Logic as mixer. Then to get all that to push out to StreamAPI feed, video output captured by Grabber Raster and presented as a feed and audio re routed via Digidesign firewire audio device into analogue input of Mac Pro. The simple Stickam type Flash player uploader needs to see these inputs in order to broadcast but you can use a device more than once in the process. Getting seperate audio and video feeds into the Mac Pro was the challenge, but we found a way. A broadcast will be available in a month or two via Digital Pill from The Dog Theatre in Footscray.

On to what was a show of very dubious content, the highlight being our first North American live guest, Alan Jones from Virginia who runs ajayswebcam.com and presents as a true geek.

Will the video phone catch on as a piece of hardware like the ACN product? Perhaps a more open platform like the Android powered desktop phone from Cloud Telecomputers.

Alan fires up at 7.30 in the morning to join us online. Alan talks about his site that list Axis webcams from around the world. ajaywebcams.com
