[amsat-bb] New Symposium Livestream Link

[John Brier]

I could hear them.

Obviously the camera is using an internal mic and not connected to the PA
system at all. I believe previous symposium streams used a phone held in
the hand. At least it is stationary now!

Maybe next time audio can be fed into the camera directly, or at the very
least it will be closer to a speaker.

For the ARISS contact we did a while back we set a laptop on a chair and
used its built in webcam and I wired a Bluetooth speaker into the mixing
board and stuck it next to the laptop's internal mic. It was ugly but it
worked fine.

Perhaps someone can wire a Bluetooth speaker next to the camera/phone for
the symposium.

At a documentary video workshop I did they said audio is the most important
part about video. If you have crappy video you can at least call it
artistic but if you don't have audio you have nothing!

Since then I have always tried to have good audio in all my video. Low/bad
audio is the first sign of amateur video because it's so easy to forget as
you can't tell it is bad at the time, though you can tell if the picture is
bad as soon as you look at the LCD or viewfinder.
