![]() That system will be the source of “floor” audio and it will have input for remote parties. Headphones are important as they remove need for echo cancelation, and echo cancelation is never perfect. Since I like talking about this stuff, here are some details how this is done for really high end meetings: You would be using some conferencing system (like Bosch or Braehler) at HQ location where every delegate will have its own microphone and headphone set. ![]() Since you are only doing this couple of times a year, maybe you could rent a professional conferencing system – there are some very nice wireless setups which you can just bring in, power on and start using (I had great experience with Bosch DCN Wireless). I had good experience with Polycom and their “starfish” mikes as they do really good job with echo cancelation. Depending on the size and shape of your “great theater” you can get by with omnidirectional desk mike, or you will need to use multiple ones to cover every person or group in the audince. I have always used dedicated microphone for speaker and additional mikes for audience. This is common problem in AV conferencing and I’ve never seen a solution which uses only one microphone. But we have this great theater, full of people who can’t keep their mouths shut. We can screen share, and one person can talk. If I understand correctly, your problem is this: You can’t solve every problem with software. Find someone that does churches, schools, government conference facilities (think UN, city council, parliamentary rooms, etc), and so on. a Biamp Audia programmable DSP, or their dedicated Voip DSP (but that may need a matching unit on the other side which is no good.)Īs has been said throughout this thread, you need find a local professional A/V company and ask them to help. You also get complete all-in-one digital signal processing units, e.g. Shure DFR22 Digital feed back reducer (if you intend amplifying voice in the theatre) Shure SCM810 8-channel automatic mic mixer. There are two options: (1) the team sits around a boardroom desk with a single omnidirectional mic, or (2) you sit theatre style and use specialised conference equipment.ĭoes everyone in the theatre share video/screen, or is there just one video feed from the whole theatre? Assuming just a single feed for the theatre, you could feed the Skype/whatever VC feed into the conference system. You need to mic up the theatre properly before you are going to get anywhere. Yes, the problem has been solved before, but you need to speak to the people who have solved it! We’re appealing to your benevolence & mercy. How do you do this? We’re certain this is a solved problem. SvN readers, we want to pick your juicy brains. Having everyone in one room works flawlessly, but it’s not always practical. ![]() A few times a year, everyone hitches up their wagons & moseys to Chicago to interact in person. We need an “Enterprise Specialist” to help us connect. They’re all great if we have one speaker. GoToMeeting works great for our Basecamp classes. Great service, but it’s limited to 10 people, unless you want a public hangout, which we don’t. Works great if there’s only one remote person. But if we need to screen share, we need something else. They’re great if all you want to do is talk, which often we do. The result is pathos & fury, heads hung in failure, the stench and shame of defeat. ![]() Our non-Chicago folks can hear the speaker, but not the audience comments. Our A/V Club reports our audio set up won’t support aggregate input devices, meaning another microphone. And by ‘us’ I mean the people in the Chicago office. We’re scattered from Vancouver to Thailand. We’ll need to screen share, and talk to each other, and listen. We want to have a ( gasp) meeting, to present some ideas that we’ve all been working on. We’ve been having a problem that’s got us all scratching our heads. We live to connect people & information, no matter where in the world they are. We’re smart people – we’ve been making collaboration software for the better part of a decade now. Or: It’s complicated until you make it simple
