Video conference test
Set up, participated in, debugged and debriefed a video conference with CANJAS nodes. Tim Miles from PAS connected his iBook to the system and we had a bit of a practice for two upcoming events on the 13th and 15th of Feb.
Problems we had:
1) The data display that is supposed to display incoming data (from remote nodes) didn't want to work. I tried a CRT but that didn't work either. I plugged the CRT directly in to the RGB connection on the codec (the bigger of the two Sony boxes) and it worked. I'll need to test this with the new TV before the 13th.
2) Video was very bad. So much lag time made two-way conversations impossible. This is not normal in our experience so far. It was the same for all nodes, so I don't think that it was our network connection causing the problem on our end.
