Neil Down Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 5 hours ago, Stu Peters said: Roger - this isn't my area of expertise, but I think what Alex was saying is that the telephone/TBU system has had a video facility as part of the software for some time, and the 'new' digital desks installed some years ago are able to send a 'voice present on channel' signal to it that automatically switches a number of minicams (rather than just one webcam) thereby making stuff visually more interesting. Should work well on programmes with lots of guests for example. So I think it's only the minicams that had to be bought-in especially, and it all seems rather clever. I'm not keen on it - the cameras are clearly faulty as they make me look fat. Cameras can only work with what they’ve got Stu... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parchedpeas Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 It's the bare minimum that Manx Radio should be doing and fair play to Alex Brindley for getting it done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Down Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 If they are wishing to copy one of the current TV successes, there should be no shortage of loose women around the island 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Hampton Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Yes, it was the 'sustaining' bit that caught my eye really. I assume this is marketing speak (like 'powered by'), that in real terms means 'paid for by'. So is that a government supported radio station using public funds to support a political lobbying group? Or am I missing something? 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoZeo Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Even membership comes with an annual fee, so they’re definitely funding and a member of an active political group. I wonder what the Chamber of Commerce would have to say if Manx Radio were to join Unite the Union as a member?
