We could set up two links between the hotel and > the tower, one for general traffic and one for video team. 54Mbps. If we put the encoding server somewhere else (then in the tower), we would have to stream raw dv, thats 25mbit _constantly_ (afaik). (Putting the encoding server in the tower would give the same problems, as we'll have talks elsewhere.) Also note that this 54mbit is "marketing brutto" :-) The available bandwidth depends on a few things and some might change... (interference with other networks, esp. when they're in use, weather, etc) That said, I also have not other option than wireless and setting up _one_ (out of then two) encoding servers in the tower. We'll talk about this in tonights video irc meeting. > > Sorry, I dont understand what you mean here :( > We might get an overflow of people for some (few) talks.

Sure, if we stream live to the world (which we will also discuss tonite), we surely can stream to the building next door :) Still I rather would prefer bigger rooms as a solution, because watching on a projector is not the same. regards, Holger
