DVCAM in action
DATMEDIA STREAMS LECTURES WITH DSR-DU1
Internet streaming company Datmedia in London
broadcasts lectures for the Institute of Electrical
Engineers using the new DSR-DU1 DVCAM compact
hard disk recorder.
Bill Clee, Datmedia's technical director, says the
company records the lectures with a DSR-570WSP
DVCAM camcorder connected to the DSR-DU1,
which were specified and supplied through broad-
cast distributors Mitcorp.
"The DSR-DU1 allows us to start encoding on the fly,
faster than real-time, so it's a lot easier than tapes,"
Clee says. "While we're still filming, we can pull off
material faster than real time and upload it and we've
got people working on it while the lecture is still going
on. It allows us to create an archiving system viewers
around the world can access."
Datmedia is also using the DSR-DU1's cue system.
If a lecturer is using slides, when he or she clicks on
a slide, the DSR-DU1 operator can automatically
bring up the slide stored on the hard disk recorder for
the web viewer.
Datmedia is also streaming video to the SonyEricsson
P800 mobile phone.
