Since we have some schools without access to Cable TV, we will be simulcasting the Superintendent's speech on Tuesday, September 5, 2006 at 9:30 pm.

What you need:

• A fairly fast Mac or PC (G4 eMac or Pentium IV PC)
• Ethernet connection
• A way to present the broadcast (an overhead projector, or a Tandberg unit connected to your computer as a monitor)
• Quicktime 7 installed (preferably the Quicktime 7 pro for full screen (e-mail scaher@buffalo.k12.ny.us for the registration code.) Please note- you will need to have admin privileges and Deep Freeze (if installed) must be unlocked.
  

What to do:

Method 1:  Quicktime Reference file.

• Download this Quicktime reference file: Convocation06.sdp.mov (Right click- Save to disk)
  
• Save this file to an easy to find location- for example: the Desktop.
• Double click the file to open Quicktime Player and view the live streaming video. If the stream stops playing for any reason, click the play button again.
