Technical & A/V Recommendations

– Digital projector and large screen (projector should be one with fairly high lumens, 5000+, if possible especially if there is significant ambient light in the venue as glacier images and videos are more prone to washout with ambient light)
– A laptop connection to the venue’s audio system or external speakers (the presentation has a number of short video / audio clips). Laptop has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack for output.
– Hand-held wireless microphone or lapel/discrete microphone (wireless to permit movement around the platform and/or venue. Fixed podium microphone should be avoided)
– Alan’s presentations are built in Keynote (an Apple program) and have a lot of embedded images, videos, audio and custom timings. For this reason, it is recommended that we connect his MacBook Pro to the A/V system. Other scenarios, such as exporting a PowerPoint file, are possible but are much more prone to compatibility issues, missing video codecs and improper timings.
– For Alan’s programs where he brings his electric violin, we’ll also need a soundboard near the podium that accepts a 1/4” TS instrument cable, or an alternative way of capturing electronic instrument output (conversion to XLR run to audio table or direct speaker 1/4” connection for example).
