Facebook Developer Garage

On Thursday March 27th Kevin Cawley put together Boulder’s first Facebook Developer Garage. We joined forces with Kevin and provided a live video broadcast of the event. Here are the details of the broadcast:

We used a Panasonic DVX100A mounted on a tripod with an Audio Technica AT897 shotgun microphone. We connected the the camera to a Dell laptop via Firewire and used UStream’s free live video broadcasting service. We also ran audio out of the camera via RCA and connected to the laptop via the microphone jack. A little tweaking was necessary for clean audio, and we were provided with instant feedback via the UStream chat room once the audio was fixed. Initially we only had 3 online viewers for the live video broadcast, but as word got out via email, blogs and eventually Twitter, the viewer count climbed as high as 43 simultaneous viewers. The chat room remained a hot spot with most of the online viewers participating. The live stream was up for over 2 hours without a hitch.

Look for a future post with links to the archived video once we have finished editing / publishing.
