The video projector was being run in the competitors evening entertainment area. As it was a fair distance away I has an active VGA over cat5 extender. That way i could run the video cables from the MBP to the extender, then the cat5 cable to the projector where the other part of the extender was.

The tent is a nice setup, 3 rooms and about 20 square meters. Takes a few hours to get setup and operational, so I don’t normally take the whole setup unless I am covering a multi day event.

Cheers, I am guessing you mean the black strip with a whole lot of things coming out the top?? That was a 10 port USB dock with single SD card readers plugged into the right hand side (there are 5 in the pic) then there are a couple of USB thumb drives (for transferring data files between me and the admin team), then there are a few multi card readers plugged in for ability to run CF cards.

Having 7 card readers plugged in through one USB port is slow, but the advantage is I can put the cards in, set it to transfer, go out and keep shooting on other cards (or sleep if its night), and i don’t need to worry about waiting around to change cards.

Glad you like the setup. It worked extremely well and saved a lot of processing time when I got home.

Nice setup! What is that thing in front of the Magic Trackpad, near the flash light?

I don’t know about anyone else, but I prefer these unique setups to the casual desk shots, and I also enjoy reading about what other people are doing with their Macs.
