Either ways it should work. The Railtel backbone (if existing) can be used for live streaming, as was done in the case of Hurtigruta. Or a simple video recorder should do the trick for a taped video production.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

hi,<div><br></div><div>I don't really think we need to live-cast. We could easily video tape and upload it to Wikimedia Commons.</div><div><br></div><div>warm regards,</div><div>Pradeep Mohandas<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

To: Wikimedia Chapters cultural partners coordination <<a href="mailto:cultural-partners@wikimedia.ch" target="_blank">cultural-partners@wikimedia.ch</a>><br><br><br>In 2010 the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation made a strange video<br>
production «Bergenbanen» (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen_Line" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen_Line</a>), a<br>five hour contineous video streamed live from the train. Now they are<br>making «Hurtigruta» (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurtigruten" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurtigruten</a>), a five<br>
day contineous video from the ships travelling along the Norwegian<br>coastline. The stream should be available worlwide<br>(<a href="http://www.nrk.no/hurtigruten/" target="_blank">http://www.nrk.no/hurtigruten/</a>). The previous stream about<br>
Bergensbanen is made available under a creative commons license and is<br>also available at commons<br>(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bergensbanen_1280x720.ogv" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bergensbanen_1280x720.ogv</a>).<br>
<br>This kind of documentary video should be possible in other contexts<br>too. What about the steamboat «Skibladner»<br>(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skibladner" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skibladner</a>) at lake Mjøsa? Or the boats<br>
travelling Göta Kanal (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6ta_Canal" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6ta_Canal</a>)?<br>In general, what if we could build a rig to make such documentary<br>videos? Just an idea.<br>
