Loren experiments using a Tablet PC with an external monitor in a live stream. During the presentation, he is cloning the Tablet PC’s display on an external monitor. Additionally, Loren shows how to use WebcamMax to switch between a webcam feed and a live view of the desktop.
The lessons learned include:
- An external webcam is better than a built-in one on the Tablet PC for recording because otherwise the webcam shakes when you draw on the display (if the display is in “notebook” mode).
- Likewise an external microphone is a good idea so that when you write on the display the internal microphone doesn’t pick up any writing noise.
- Writing with light ink on dark “paper” seems to work better with at least the webcams I have.
- Thicker ink seems to work better–particulary when the video is scaled down in size.
