Recording Services and the IT department are both talking about having video broadcasting be a thing that they do, so I'm interested in pushing for this even more.

Flex can do this:

I'm going to check this out too.

Project:

Broadcast live video and audio from the MSU Composition Department Premieres Concert on Tuesday, October 20th, hopefully with titles and fades and a physical interface.

Things we need:

Software mixing of two video sources, fading in and out
Processing things to learn:

• alpha mixing of two video sources, black screen
• multiple outputs, so you can monitor everything and send a separate feed out
  
• dynamic text stuff (typing, displaying)
• MIDI input from knobs on MIDI controller to do fading, crossfading
• outputting video to something Justin Tv or Ustream can take
  (manycam?)

Alternatively, doing it in Pd with Gem, I feel would look less nice, but the list of things to learn may be shorter.

• multiple video sources
• nice looking transitions
• nice looking text, in strict 2D

*shrug * more?
