    Site

  • Map of downtown
  • Bonaventure Hotel
  • Location of electronics supply store? 
       Radio Shack  750 W 7th St  (213) 680-1500      0.6mi

    Hi Mary, I don't know of any large electronic stores in the immediate area
of the Los Angeles Convention Center.  There is a Staples Office Supply
(2-Blocks South of LACC on Figureoa), which should have basic computer
cables, etc.  There are also some small Radio Shacks in the Downtown Malls
(about 10-minutes away).  Our AVHQ storeroom will be located in Room 308B
in the Convention Center as well as our A/V service desk located in the
exhibit hall area.  You are welcomed to check with us to see if we can
accommodate you first.    Alan- AVHQ

    Conference Call

    • Cxh will handle setting up the phone 30 minutes before the start of the conference. The calls are scheduled for 8am-6pm
      Toll-Free Domestic Dial-in Number (888) 422-7124
      Toll-Free Domestic Dial-in Number (334) 240-1633
      Host code: 232838
      Participant Code: 121375

    Dinner

  • We will record the dinner if we can get a copy of the slides.

    • Post Production Cleanup

    • Copy ppt and asf files to gigavault.
    • Each ASF File needs to be properly truncated at the beginning. I usually used the NetShow ASF Indexer to do this.
    • Sometimes each ASF File needs to have the URL to the initial slide added at the start of the now truncated clip. Again, the NetShow ASD Indexer is used.
    • For each presentation, generate slide GIFS, save as HTML and generate PDFs. Generating PDF requires that Adobe Acrobat be installed
    • Edit the following files:
      mkallasx.sh
      Add each talk to this file
      mkasx.sh
      change the paths from the previous workshop to the current workshop, and update the title.
      lib/footer.htm
      Update the name of the workshop
    • Run make
    • Check the files. If we use Powerpoint 2k to generate the HTML, pay particular attention to the dhtml that is generated and look for bogus output.
