View page history| h1. Overview of TheAquarium Channel |
| h1. Instructions for the Audience of TheAquarium Channel |
| TheAquarium Channel broadcasts via uStream.TV. The client is Flash-based and it is fairly easy to set up; broadcasting is a bit more complicated but we have arranged the situation so invited presenters have a relatively simple setup (while the actual broadcaster is quite more complex). |
| Point your browser to [http://www.ustream.tv/channel/theaquarium]; you will need a Flash plugin. This will provide you with *video* (image of presenter + slides + anything else) and *audio* (unless you want to use the concall # instead). This also gives you a *chat*. |
| {anchor:audience} h3. Instructions for Audience |
| You are encouraged to ask questions and *interact* with each other during the session using the chat room. The speaker or other participants will answer your questions if possible. We also have Q&A sections. We encourage, but not require, you to either login into uStream or to acquire a nickname using the "/nick mynickname" command. |
| Point your browser to [http://www.ustream.tv/channel/theaquarium]; you will need a (not sure how recent) Flash plugin. This will provide you with *+video+* (image of presenter + slides + anything else) and *+audio+* (unless you want to use the concall # instead). This also gives you a *+chat+*. |
| You can get audio either from uStream (*recommended*), or through the conference call (*optional*). The concall is free inside the US but is caller-paid outside the US. The ustream video and audio streams are synchronized but there is a 3-5 second delay, which is only noticeable to the people in the concall (presenters mostly). If you are using the phone concall, you should *mute* with *6. |
| uStream allows for anonymous participation in chats but also permits the broadcaster to disable that. You are +encouraged+ to either login into uStream before participating or to acquire a nickname during the chat - you can do this by typing "/nick mynickname" to your chat prompt (without the quotes). |
| All material (slides, screencasts) is made *available ahead* of the presentation through the show wiki page. The resolution and size of the uStream screen is limited, so in some cases you may prefer to check that material. |
| You can get audio either from uStream, or through the conference call (concall). The concall is free inside the US but is caller-paid outside the US. We believe we have fixed the early audio-quality problems in the uStream audio, so hopefully uStream will be the preferred mechanisms. Note that there is a 3-5 second delay in the ustream broadcast while the concall has very little delay. This means the uStream audio is synchronized with the video feed, but the concall audio is ahead of the video. If you are using the phone concall, you should *+mute+*. * During the presentation, the audience will connect through their browser (flash client). They participate via the associated chat room. Often there are side conversations ongoing during the presentation, with presenters / extra members answering questions as they appear. * During the presentation, the speakers present via the concall; they can also talk talk to each other that way. Anything in that cncall is broadcasted. Non-speakers can use the concall, but should mute (*6). * We record the presentation and then make it available in different formats. URLs/Phones: Online - http://ustream.tv/channel/theaquarium Speaker Concall (others please mute with *6) Toll-Free - (866) 545-5227 - Access Code: 3535518 Caller Paid - (215) 446-3648 - Access Code: 3535518 ---- Does this help? - eduard/o |
| The presentations are *recorded*, and the chat interaction may also be recorded. The recordings are later made available in different formats. |
