Hi Wilbur,
Lets connect on IRC at some point and I'd be happy to get a test
environment setup.

Hi Folks,
I have not live-streamed video from it, but I have a Canon 7D SLR than can
do 1080p and I can bring it along to help out. Most of the mid-level DSLRs
on the market can output through a standard HDMI or Mini-HDMI port, so it
may be easy to borrow a few from others. I've worked with VLC for streaming,
but this was for multicast projects.I'll need to play with it and come up
with a good config; I'll take a look at this over the holiday. The key
question will be what formats Ooyala servers in can can handle.
If anyone has a link to Ooyala's technical info and support, I'll put some
time into this and see what I can come up with.
Happy to help,
Wilbur
