The Westercon 74 committee will be meeting in person in Tonopah next Saturday. Around a dozen committee/staff members will travel to Tonopah, but many others will participate in a Zoom call. For this meeting, we'll be using one of Lisa's video cameras (not the big one, but the medium sized one she used to record the WSFS Business Meeting in Dublin). Today, she got that camera out, connected it to the Blackmagic Web Presenter box that we bought some time ago. This takes a video camera input and connects to a computer (like my laptop) on a USB cord. To the computer, it's a webcam. After connecting everything, we checked (using Zoom), and sure enough, it still worked as planned. It has a surprisingly good built in microphone pickup as well, so with luck everyone will be able to hear everyone else.
