The major problem with doing this, is the loss of detail that conversion from VGA to video introduces. We found this to be such a problem with the video streaming for the RIPE meetings that we had to ask the presenters to use larger fonts, and reduce the amount of detail on their slides. Rather than streaming the VGA -> video output, it would be better for this purpose to use one of the commercial VGA -> Image File devices, and provide a web page with a suitable refresh period to see the slides in their original resolution. The comment about not needing an operator is slightly incorrect; you always need someone on-hand (though not necessarily in the room) to apply suitable percussive maintenance. -- Bruce Campbell RIPE Systems/Network Engineer NCC www.ripe.net - PGP562C8B1B _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
