Concerning Our Recordings
- The video is limited to what was displayed to the audience on the large screen at the front of the lecture venue. We have no picture-in-picture video of our speaker at the podium. In addition, on this occasion, no images were displayed during the Question and Answer session.
- The audio is captured by the microphone at the podium and, sometimes less effectively, by a lapel mike worn by our speaker. For some recordings you may occasionally need to increase the volume because the speaker has moved beyond the optimal range of the podium microphone.
- Questions from the audience are normally too faint to be heard. For that reason we ask our speakers to repeat the question before starting their response.
