DCTV : Hacker Confessional

This year at Defcon, I am going to do something a little different. I am bringing a video recording kiosk which will be set up to record and upload videos to the Defcon CCTV system.

Every year, I have things set up so that people can upload to the CCTV in the Riv, but people seldom do, so this year, I am sticking it in their faces. We will have a hacker confessional. Based on the idea of Speaker's Corner, hacker confessional will give attendees the chance to talk for 30 seconds and get up on screen on the CCTV system. Sound will probably suck, so bonus points for creative methods of communication :)

Inside the box is a mini-ITX board, an arduino, 12V PSU, LCD display, and a variety of other parts. The camera on top is a cheapo Logitech. The videos are captured as MJPEG and then sent via SCP/SSH over to the encoding server, where they are converted to MP4/AAC, and stored in a Drupal CMS. Drupal/Flashvideo streams the videos back to the CCTV system.
