What

Last year the people at Defcon were nice enough to provide us Audio/Video recording for our village, however the quality could have been better as can be seen from the videos here:

Why did the video suck and how can it be improved?

The main problem with the video quality was lighting. The ISO might have been set too high causing a grainy image with lots of noise. The proposed solution is to use a LED lighting to help lower the ISO and properly light the subject from different angles. I plan to rent a Promaster LED1000B Specialist LED 2 Light Transport Kit from B&C Camera.

Another problem with the video, was audio. To improve it, I will rent a Zoom H5 Handy Recorder to record the sound directly from the mixer. After Defcon, I'll import the audio and edit the videos with Shotcut. In post-production, I'm going to blur the faces of attendees if recorded by accident to protect their privacy. I will then upload the videos to Youtube. This work will be done on an unpaid basis.

In addition, I plan to set up a live video stream with Elgato Cam Link 4K and OBS. The video link will be embedded directly in the Monero village website. Stream will be broadcast in 720p/60 fps format and will connect to a HDMI Switch to have 3 feeds to switch from live (projector, camcorder A, camcorder B).
