the innis mode, finally realized
Up to RNDLivethe innis mode, finally realized
So here's the project: to create a matrix of windows that contain live video from around the planet (or even off-planet). The video will be environmental, observational, low key, discreet. Each window will be synchronized (by extracting IRIG or SMPTE timecode from GPS) with the others. The aggregate effect will be an illustration of concurrent natural processes, from which the viewers may (or may not!) infer something about interconnectedness.
Re: the innis mode, finally realized
I am not sure I get how you are going to do this, but it sounds very cool.
Re: the innis mode, finally realized
Ah, the technical details. Probably something like this:
-Battery or solar powered system
-Encoder on-site; video to MPEG4 or Ogg Theora
-Encoder also embeds timecode
-Uplink with either Ku band or DVB (like the Hughes HN/HX system, www.hns.com )
-Downlink connects to a server, also compares embedded timecode and removes offset (maybe not necessary)
-Webpage contains separate link for each camera; so you can launch 'em all, or just one
Re: the innis mode, finally realized
So here's the latest:
Camstream works well on Ubuntu for client stream.
Oggfwd works well on Ubuntu for client stream.
Cheapest available Icecast server is around $12.00/month.
Cheapest embedded system with firewire is about $600.00.
Cheapest satellite uplink is HughesNet, about $60.00/month.
HughesNet won't work with oggfwd, but camstream is o.k.
That leaves streamed audio with stills (fine with me).
