I nearly forgot...Cardiff office has brand new videoconference equipment which is very 21st century. I saw it this afternoon. I can't wait to see what difference it makes to our TV reception in north Wales. However, Cardiff has a huge, and I mean huge, screen to see the one or two people we tend to have our end. We have an ordinary TV screen to see up to 12 people or so with whom I frequently videoconference when they are in Cardiff. This is not entirely sensible in my view. We need a big screen to see the bigger group. They don't need such a big one to see 2 or 3 people. We will see how it all goes...
I suspect the next time I chair a meeting of the Social Justice and Local Government Forum, on my own in north Wales, they will feel I am like 'big brother' breathing down their necks in Cardiff. My image will be more than life size.
I will have more to say on this anon...after I have experienced it all.
Overall, this is a brilliant innovation - just cut out the road noise and improve the acoustics in Cardiff and things will be hugely better.

Yes we will look like big brother on the cardiff screen, whilst our antique tv shows the usual as you say.
ReplyDeleteThe positives are:
Improved picture from Cardiff
Far superior audio, modern noise cancelling - meaning removal of ambient background noise, hard to hear the cars now, a real difference.
Glad to hear of the positives, Nick. I look forward to using it.
