Prefix

We had some contacts with organizers of http://2008.rmll.info/?lang=en and decided to participate recording all conferences with Elphel NC353L network cameras.

Goals

The goal is:

• record all the conferences in high resolution. (from 640x480 to 1920x1080p)
• restream few conferences in real time
• upload ALL conferences on RMLL site and google video and as many support as possible.
• keep high quality 1920x1080p MJPEG sources for all conferences what will be post processed.
• have at least 1 camera per conference room and 2-4 camera for a very important conferences what will be post processed.
• do all that with exclusively FreeSoftware
