So fing es an
aus der wunderbaren CCC Dokumentation der ARD.
Live video projection over 30 meter
Here is a working hardware combination after several failed attempts – jerky moves, black screen, lost signal, color shifts.
Nikon Z6 – switch video toggle @back of camera for clean HDMI output, set video menu to 60 frames (to avoid display lag), setting c3 standby on. 1800€ incl FTZ.
Sirui VH-10X Fluid, 100€ used.
subtel external power supply for Z6 (only this one allows closing of battery compartment). 56€.
Rode VideoMicro Compact. 88€.
Elgato Cam Link 4K with short USB C connector (to avoid shear stress). 122€.
Macbook Pro with USB-C Digital-AV-Multiport-Adapter (other display port and hdmi did not show up as external display in OBS). adapter 72€.
PW-HT225PIR HDMI Extender with power adapter (USB power alone not sufficient, HDMI amplifier failes consistently). 30€.
30m Cat6 cable. 30€.
Short throw Optoma UHD42 4K Beamer – UHD. 1200€
The best videoconferencing system (even running on a Synology box)
There are many $$$ systems. But there are also super nice systems like Big Blue Button, Apache Open Meeting and Jitsi that are working equally well if you stick to Chrome or Firefox.
I recommend Spreed WebRTC audio/video call and conferencing server. Just run
docker pull spreed/webrtc docker run --rm --name my-spreed-webrtc -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 \ -v `pwd`:/srv/extra -i -t spreed/webrtc
and you are done. The only issue – how to route your local IP to the docker container?
sudo route -n add -net 0.0.0.0/16 146.x.x.x sudo route -n delete 0.0.0.0/16 146.x.x.x
In the meantime, I managed to get it also on the Synology DS418play but only with a manual installation using the DS216+ ii docker binary according to some helpful comments on the synology forum.
Firefox 66 runs microphone, webcam and screen sharing without any problem, Chrome 73 needs a plugin for screen sharing.

Making the invisible motion visible
Here is a new MIT video software, that constructs first a backbone of an object showing minor movements while then amplifying these movements to a ridiculous extent. Not clear what I try to explain? See a video at SPON. Although the idea behind Continue reading Making the invisible motion visible
