Additional Program
We (Jürgen's Video Team) take responsibility for filming in one room and have tested a new setup for this purpose.
Instead of just filming and saving the raw input during the presentation and then spending much time on post-production later on we are doing everything on-the-fly with a program called DVSwitch.
So if you want to know how to direct or how to operate a camera you are welcome to our training on Tuesday around 4 pm - and, if you like, help us out later on. Training and recordings will be in Europe I, (or II?). Suse booth staff knows for sure.
