<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've been running around a fair bit over the past few weeks, pulling together the information we need about A/V at the venue. The Uni has some excellent equipment in place, and nearly all of our needs are met without any additional expenditure.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are 2 items I'd like to get approval for spending money on though:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><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.</li><li><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.</li></ol>
<div>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.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, the motion is: </div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
</div>
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px">
<div dir="ltr">
<div><b>We increase the <i>Audio visual equipment & labour</i> expense in the budget by $1600 to cover the incremental cost of: 1) a Uni A/V person on site during the conference days, and 2) additional microphones in the secondary presentation rooms during
the conference days.</b></div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>I know I would sleep a bit easier with these in place, so obviously a +1 from me. We have a very healthy budget surplus to draw from.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Cheers
