The SUSE Video team is happy to announce, that we have everything ready to make live streams and recordings available. We cover all talks in the rooms named Kirk, McCoy, Spock, Scotty, Picard, Riker, and Data.

Recap

The video team took responsibility for planning, offering, and executing video recordings. Executive Summay: Success. We achieved more than we initially offered, 4 rooms (not 3) recordings and live streams. But we had to master several planned and unplanned issues, that gave us some learing curve.

Planning

First plans were made at FOSMDE 2012, when the dvswitch setup was evaluated (jw,cwh). Cost estimate: ca. 2000 EUR/room. Operators needed: 2 people/room. With dvwitch postproduction effort is substantially lower than with a conventional taping, editing, uploading cycle that we had done several years ago. This year we wanted to provide a recording service again, but based on a completely new setup.

Testing

One set of equipment was purchased in March, and inhouse tests were successful. An extensive 'test' was done at LinuxTag Berlin [1]: 25 recordings. Key challenges were: video signal quality, firewire reliability, confirmed volunteers. Further tests were done during XDC2012 using our setup also for live-streaming, and operated exclusivly by XDC-Staff after a short coaching session.

Offer

For the openSUSE Conference, we offered to cover 3 rooms during 4 days (Sat/Sun/Mon/Tue). Recordings available on next day. Availability of live-streams not asserted. Audio relying on existing systems.

While synchronizing our plans with the campus, their capable Audio/Video-Center team volunteered to cover two days in one of the three main lecture halls. This freed resources, and we offered recording in a fourth lecture room: Gentoo. Also with the help of the local AVC we could take care of recording interviews in the Press Room.

An extraordinary challenge was put on the team due to the relocation of the conference. Monday and Tuesday was held at a different venue, where the rooms were not well suited. Only one room was equipped with an audio system and a video projector. The video team coordinated with the Services Team to set up network, video projectors, power in 5 rooms, Speakers, Microphone, Amplifiers as required for the recording in three rooms (two rooms asserted, one optional).

Setup

Network setup was discussed and prepared ahead of time as a joint venture of the video team, our IT Services team and the Campus IT team. We agreed on bringing our own video server (16 CPU, 2TB disk) and a VLAN spanning all rooms. This allowed remote controlling of all machines, but had the acceptable disadvantage of fixed port assignment with no options to plug additional machines where needed.

The rooms were not available on the days before the conference, until Friday late afternoon. We

  • formed a 'video setup squad team' of well trained specialists.
  • planned the exact placement and cabling of all equipment in each room.
  • pre-packed the equipment 'one box per room'

A second round of setup took place on Sunday (afternoon until 22h). We moved all our equipment the moment talks ended in each room to the new venue and recreated the setup. By that time we had more volunteers than we had expected. There was actually a slight delay due to not having all helpers properly instructed. Ontop of recreating the setup, we also took take care of the complete audio systems for 3 rooms. Including microphones, mixers, loudspeakers.

In all rooms, we connected a VGA grabber between the speakers laptop and videoprojector. The grabber and a required mini-pc were placed at the speakers desk. For venue2, we also took care of all video projection facilities. For the large hall this required convincing local staff to return the projector that was there before; for all other rooms we brought mobile projectors from Prague and Nuremberg office and placed them on extra tables. One additional white screen was needed as well as proper cabling in all rooms.

Accomplishments

Shift plans with volunteers were reduced to 2 rooms for Sat/Sun, as Gentoo and the main lecture hall where handled by Gentoo and AVC volunteers. Additionally we provided a camera operator for the Press room, where ca on dozend interviews where recorded.

Instead of the planned 3 rooms at venue 1 and 2 rooms at venue 2, we covered 4 and 3 rooms respectively. Also we had added an experimental second camera pointing back to the audience in each room. Although sometimes unreliable, the mixer operators appreciated the additional source.

For venue2, we rented additional audio equipment (wireless microphones, amplifiers, cables, loudspeakers) and used the audio mixer at the recording desk to control both the recording and the Speakers in the room. One avialable pair of Sennheiser Microphones was left behind in Nuremberg, but the AVC team helped us here again.

Machine setup partly automated. The capture machines for slides and front camera were created as appliances booting diskless from a usb-memorystick.

A complete set of spare equipment was available at all times (except for slides capture). This allowed us start setup in venue2 earlier and allowed us to identify and swap faulty hardware during production. 1 Audio Mixer failed, 2 used DV-Cameras, and FireWirePort of one mixer-laptop died. An additional camera was on hot standby and was used to compensate temporary issues. The total hardware budget was 5000 EUR. This required bringing low budget equipment, and 'renting' several items free of charge.

We had prepared two setups for live streaming (providing both flash and ogg), but used mainly bambuser (with flash), for its additional feature of automatic live recordings. Although the live streams had to be restarted a few times during each day, we had several hundred views on the automatic recordings and live feeds during the conference.

Post production efforts were

  • copy all recordings from the mixer machines to the video server in a timely manner, freeing enough disk space for the next day.
  • keep track of room names and talk titles, so that this info would be available during upload.
  • check all recordings for excessive or missing cuts. This required much more man-hours than expected, as the system introduced unexpected cuts, when cpu or network overload conditions appeared.
  • encode all recordings to webm format and push to blip.tv and youtube via their web interface.

The list of over 100 recordings below demonstrates the overall success of the video production. Live streams were available at all times, with short interrupts of a few minutes only.

Challenges

  • Finding enough volunteers was critical. We were not able to have 6 operators (1 mixer + 1 camera per room) at all times during the 4 days. Luckily Gentoo could take care of themselves after a short coaching session.
  • Audio recording was problematic. Quality issues surfaced that were not seen inhouse, or at Linuxtag where the room was serviced with a profesional sound engineer.
  • Linux FireWire drivers are easily confused when two signals are captured by a single machine. dvsource-firewire-next was created and systemd scripts were adapted.
  • Twinpact DV-Signals and FireWire cabling in general exposed reliability issues. Sporadic failures were efficiently handled by the team.
  • Having fixed IP-Addresses in the appliances complicated the network setup in the first venue.
  • The video server encounterd disk errors once. Later the internal 2TB disk space filled, forcing us to rely on external USB-Disks again.
  • The decision to move or not move the video server between venues was revised twice. In the end we moved it Sunday 21:00h on short notice to the local IT team.
  • The network link of the second venue was 100MB only, not the initially advertised 1Gbit.
  • Upload of the keynote speech was delayed 7 days, as this room was operated with a conventional setup by the AVC team. Their setup did not allow the short turnaround times we achived with dvswitch.

Future Outlook

  • We should invest some development effort in post production automation. That saves manpower during the event. E.g. meta-data (Speaker names, topics, time, room) should be associated with file names during the recording, not reverse engineered afterwards. A standardized event calender format is required. Ical? Gnome Planner?
  • rate limited file transfer and proper monitoring aids need to be scripted.
  • DI-Boxes needed to improve audio quality.
  • We now exceed the storage capacity of the openSUSE storage room. Video needs its own room.
  • Replace/repair broken hardware. Some components were used items from ebay; this needs better funding next time.
