Moving the IDesk

Questions etc.

• What's the deal with the IDesk3 dolly? Does the desk stay on it all the time?
• Where does the audio rack go? While showing, and while moving.
• Where do the speakers go? For IDesk3, they could be on the desk.
• Where does the Onyx console go during the move? Balance it on the Onyx?
  If we want to be bold, we could leave the monitor behind.
• IDesk2 video + stereo sync can go on a single RGBS cable, with a couplee pigtails; or just two cables linked together
• IDesk3 video requires 5 lines - RGB + H & V Sync. Could use one monitor cable for RGB, and an RGB cable for video syncs + stereo sync
• Hub could probably stay attached to Onyx

• Power off IDesk & PC; unplug them
• Disconnect PC from network hub

• Disconnect Onyx audio from audio rack
• ? Pack up audio rack ?
• Pack up IDesk
• 'chkconfig network off' and halt Onyx

Set up

• Connect hub to network
• Connect Onyx video to IDesk

Need a set of scripts for each location. Need scripts for PC, for Onyx starttrackd, and for starting networking.
