====== VOC-Engel & Schichttypen ====== ===== Engeltypen ===== ==== Audio Mixer Angel ==== ^ forced active | no | ^ restricted | yes | ^ restricted to | angels who attended the introduction | ^ No self-signup | no | ^ Requires driver license | no | ^ Show on dashboard | yes | ^ Contact | VOC | ^ Contact DECT | 1600 | ^ Contact E-Mail | | You observe and level the room mix and balance it with the applause microphones. You also observe and adjust the level of the translator microphones. You should be able to calmly adjust the dynamic room mix to reach a consistent loudness for stream listeners. You should not get distracted by the noise in the room and stay focused, even if there is not that much to do. Your console will be the QSC TouchMix-8. The shifts will take place in the halls. There is no ACR! ==== A/V Angel ==== ^forced active|no| ^restricted|yes| ^restricted to|angels who attended the introduction| ^ No self-signup | no | ^ Requires driver license | no | ^ Show on dashboard | yes | ^ Contact | VOC | ^ Contact DECT | 1600 | ^ Contact E-Mail | | A/V Angels are responsible for the whole A/V Operation in a hall. You and your fellow angels operate the audio mixing desk lighting console, cameras and the video mixer. You support speakers by connecting their hardware the infrastructure in the hall and adjust the microphones. The audio part is about mixing the different sources and taking care of monitoring and adjusting audio levels for the stream. To have some audio sources, you also manage the micrphones in the hall. The goal of this job is to ensure that the audio levels are consistent and the resulting mix down is pleasant to the ears. If you are responsible for the operation of the video mixer, you switch the video feed between different sources. This mixed video feed is used for both the live-stream and the recordings which are made available later. You decide which picture, respectively source, is most interesting/important at each moment. Doing Video without cameras would result in a slide only stream, so someone has to ensure records the person who is giving the talk instead of the audience. If it's impossible to operate the camera during the whole talk, usually a fixed shot is fine too. During a talk, there should be more than one A/V Angel so you can split up the various parts of this job between you and your fellow angels. ==== A/V Technician ==== ^forced active|yes| ^restricted|yes| ^restricted to|part of voc crew which is responsible for halls or 2nd level audio support| ^ No self-signup | no | ^ Requires driver license | no | ^ Show on dashboard | yes | ^ Contact | VOC | ^ Contact DECT | 1600 | ^ Contact E-Mail | | Those people are the 2nd level support in the lecture rooms. They are familiar with the equipment that is used during the event and able to fix (nearly) all the issues. Usually, the members of this group are fixed long before the event. If you are familiar with broadcast equipment or the industry (regarding audio, video or lighting) and want to help, please get in touch with us. ==== Camera Angel ==== ^forced active|no| ^restricted|yes| ^restricted to|angels who attended the introduction| ^ No self-signup | no | ^ Requires driver license | no | ^ Show on dashboard | yes | ^ Contact | VOC | ^ Contact DECT | 1600 | ^ Contact E-Mail | | Video-Camera-Angels operate the fixed cameras in the lecture halls. Usually, one video angel films the speaker from head to hands, while a second video angel films a total, including both the speaker and the screen. Camera angels will communicate with the Video-Mixer-Angel via intercom, who might instruct them to shoot in certain ways. The Mixer-Angel will also point out any mistakes or bad camera-settings. Constraints: * Don't sign up for any back-to-back shifts, except in case of two short talks. * You shouldn't (please don't) sign up for more than four Video-Camera-Angel shifts per day. * Never film the audience ==== Experienced Audio Angel ==== ^forced active|yes| ^restricted|yes| ^restricted to|angels with a specific skill set who attend the introduction| ^ No self-signup | no | ^ Requires driver license | no | ^ Show on dashboard | yes | ^ Contact | VOC | ^ Contact DECT | 1600 | ^ Contact E-Mail | | These Audio Angels provide 3rd level support to the Audio Mixer Angel and for the entire audio chain. They ensure the chain runs smoothly, that audio-related problems are being taken care of and also do 2nd level QC on all stream audio. For this role we are looking for people who have experience working with medium to large sized broadcast-style audio setups or are familiar with large scale live audio setups. ==== Microphone Angel ==== ^forced active|no| ^restricted|yes| ^restricted to|angels who attended the introduction| ^ No self-signup | no | ^ Requires driver license | no | ^ Show on dashboard | yes | ^ Contact | VOC | ^ Contact DECT | 1600 | ^ Contact E-Mail | | Microphone Angels mainly make sure that people speak into the microphones properly during Q&A. Participants in the room might be able to hear a question without amplification, but the people watching the live stream and recordings can't. Make sure the questions get recorded! At times that can mean bringing a microphone to a chair. ==== Stream Observing Angel ==== ^forced active|no| ^restricted|yes| ^restricted to|active mixing / camera angels| ^ No self-signup | no | ^ Requires driver license | no | ^ Show on dashboard | yes | ^ Contact | VOC | ^ Contact DECT | 1600 | ^ Contact E-Mail | | This group is dedicated to all camera and mixing angels, who want to improve their own performance by reflecting the work of colleagues from an audience perspective. As a Stream Observing Angel you examine streams for issues and keep track of sequences appearing hard to consume or violating our rule set. Therefore it is necessary to have a good insight in our rule set. Your list of both, positive and negative remarks provides constructive feedback to the individual colleagues acting in the hall and also contribute it to the quality review during the daily meeting for the whole team. This process hopefully helps us to provide a recording suitable for the speakers and a appropriate stream for all the hackers in the galaxy who couldn't sit in the hall. You can see your self as one of the the stream's major contributor, who instantly reports severe issues like "there is no signal" to the VOC Helpdesk. For video mixing and camera angels, it is strongly recommended to take some stream observer shifts early as this is the individual part of your training and helps us to continuously review our routines. Feel free to discuss any questions and insights with the stream observing angel next to you. This angel type is restricted to active Video Mixing or Camera Angels, because it's part of our self evaluation and not meant as external monitoring. If you have any input for us, meet us at our assembly or call - in urgent cases - the VOC Helpdesk at 1600 ==== Home Studio Support Angel ==== ^ forced active | no | ^ restricted | yes | ^ restricted to | angels who attended the introduction | ^ No self-signup | no | ^ Requires driver license | no | ^ Show on dashboard | yes | ^ Contact | VOC | ^ Contact DECT | 1600 | ^ Contact E-Mail | rc3-aufnahmeleitung@hamburg.ccc.de | Speakers who prefer to give their lecture/presentation from their own home (instead of one of the studios) will need help setting up their computer to provide good audio and video, and rehearse the entire production. These angel help speakers before and during the event to give their presentation in the best possible way. ==== Online Video Mixing Angel ==== ^forced active|no| ^restricted|yes| ^restricted to|angels who attended the introduction| ^ No self-signup | no | ^ Requires driver license | no | ^ Show on dashboard | yes | ^ Contact | VOC | ^ Contact DECT | 1600 | ^ Contact E-Mail | | Online Video Mixing Angels are responsible for mixing the online talks in OBS Studio. Tis work is done via remote control of OBS Studio, but it is tied to one of the studios. To get activated for this angel type, please get in touch with one of the [[events:rc3:start#studios|studios]]. After checking that your experience fits the studio setup, they will activate you and coordinate shift assignments. Sidenote: Even if the talk is fully remote, a local studio is responsible for producing it. ==== Video Mixer Angel ==== ^forced active|yes| ^restricted|yes| ^restricted to|angels who attended the introduction| ^ No self-signup | no | ^ Requires driver license | no | ^ Show on dashboard | yes | ^ Contact | VOC | ^ Contact DECT | 1600 | ^ Contact E-Mail | | Video-Mixer-Angels switch the video feed between different sources. This mixed video feed is used for both the live-stream and the recordings which are made available later. You decide which picture, respectively source, is most interesting/important at each moment. The available sources are the cameras in the audience, as well as the display of the presenter's laptop (usually the slides). Sometimes, there also are close-up cameras on stage. Slides containing text should be shown long enough to allow both slow and fast readers to read them. As a rule of thumb, reading through the slides yourself twice usually ensures this. You work proactively with camera angels through the intercom, helping them to improve their image source before switch-over. We will have some challenging talks, where decision making and intercommunication might be assisted by external "image composition director" joining the intercom channel. Please take a break after doing those tasks, we don't like back-to-back shifts. We will meet every day to distribute the shifts for the following day. ==== C3VOC Crew ==== ^forced active|yes| ^restricted|yes| ^restricted to|voc crew which runs all the operations of those video stuff| ^ No self-signup | no | ^ Requires driver license | no | ^ Show on dashboard | yes | ^ Contact | C3VOC Helpdesk | ^ Contact DECT | 1600 | ^ Contact E-Mail | | This group of people is responsible for the smooth operation of the C3VOC infrastructure itself, e.g. cutting and releasing the talks, poking the streams, manage speaker inquiries and much more. Basically, they resolve all those issues, that nobody notices ;) If you are interested in helping us (maybe even during the various events during the year), feel free to meet us at our assembly. In case of inquiries, please call us at 1600. ===== Schichttypen ===== ==== Lecture Hall Coordination ==== == Metadaten == ^ Team/Ansprechpartner | VOC / SHOC | ^ Typische Räume | jeder Vortragsraum (Raum A-E sowie Chaos West) | ^ Übliche Engelbesetzung | pro Vortragsraum: 1x [[howto:engel#a_v_technician|A/V Technican]], 1x [[https://c3heaven.de/wiki/doku.php?id=engelsystem:engeltypen:stage-manager|Stagemanager]], ?x [[https://c3heaven.de/wiki/doku.php?id=engelsystem:engeltypen:stage-supporter|Stage Supporter]], | ^ Wichtiger Hinweis | Chaos West hat keinen Audio Engineer Engel.
