Here is a screencast explaining how the Three "Camera" Webcast from the SLN Summit was performed.

I will note here that many of the presenters wanted to use their own comptuers and did not have S-Video Out, so many of the presentations were a two camera shoot.

An excellent job done.
A scheme diagram of the configuration would be nice.

Audio Echo Behavior during a Workshop

Eurominuteman - 2008-02-10 19:43

Wiki makes a recommendation to this problem:

"One of the most direct uses of equalization is at a live event, where microphones and speakers
operate simultaneously. An equalizer is used to ensure that there are
no frequency bands where there is a round trip gain of greater than 1,
as these are heard as audible feedback. Those frequencies are cut at the equalizer to prevent this."

I will be bstreamcasting a live event using Ustream in a couple of weeks, where I am going to have this problem. Anyone have any step by steps with a particular euqalizer that they know works?
