<li class="MsoNormal">
<b>An on-site Uni-supplied A/V tech to be present to help immediately resolve any technical issues</b>. Without this, we have the option of calling the Uni help desk, and A/V issues will be resolved in due course. However, we have a tight schedule, and an A/V
issue could cause a major disruption. Also, for a significant part of the program, we'll be running in 3 rooms, so 3x the risk of something going wrong. To have a dedicated A/V tech on site will cost something in the range of $1000-1400 for the 2 days.
<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">
<b>Additional microphones in Theatres B & C</b>. The secondary rooms (B & C) only come equipped with a single lapel mic, no handheld mics. This means that session chairs & presenters would have to share a lapel mic, and there are no handheld mics for the audience
to ask questions. This is especially problematic for the video recording, which relies on the built-in PA system for the audio, but could also present problems for people with hearing difficulties. There is an easy solution: an on-campus company called AVMelbourne
can provide extra A/V equipment, which in this case would involve installing an additional microphone kit in the 2 rooms for the 2 conf days, giving us 2 lapels & 2 handheld mics in each room, which would be plenty. They've quoted $1200 for this service.
<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Public Lecture Theatre comes supplied with 1 lapel mic and 2 handheld mics, so should be OK as is. We have the option of getting additional mics installed for the panel session, but I've asked around a bit and people seem to be OK with
1 lapel & 2 HH for that session.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The current budget already has $1000 for '<i>Audio visual equipment & labour</i>', so the total impact of this proposal is to increase that budget item by to $1600.<u></u><u></u></p>
