Re: [Nanog-futures] Countdown Timer

Thanks. The idea is to have a consistent, repeatable, staff run system
that is able to be used from the media station in the back of the room
independent of the PC. It's not their job to run the sound boards and
we pay for this service as part of the administration fee that Merit
charges against the revenue. The dsan (or other pro manufacturer)
systems are designed for conferences.

The question that is posed is do we want a professional and non
intrusive method of indicating time to a presenter, and if that
includes an improvement in broadcasting sound (mics), do we all agree
that this is a worthwhile investment?

I'd say yes.
