Observation in Labs

When conducting observational studies in the labs, camera and audio recordings can be set up using the equipment and software described below.

==Equipment==
* Cameras (Cam520 PRO 3)
* [[Hollyland Lark M2|Hollyland]] (Lark M2)

==Software==
* [[OBS Studio]]

==Labs==
* Observation lab
* Bar lab

==Using the Experiment Control Computer==
To use cameras and audio recordings in the Bar lab or Observational labs, follow these instructions:
# Turn on all the green switches and the experiment control computer.
# Once logged in, open OBS Studio.
# On the bottom left, you will see a panel called "Scene". In that panel, you can select a configuration that has already been created (e.g., 2 cameras, 3 cameras, ...). You can also create a configuration yourself. If so, you will also need to indicate the source for which specific cameras you would like to record from.
# Once you have selected the configuration, in the "Source" panel (bottom centre) you can double-click on a specific camera if you want to change the angle and zoom. After double-clicking, select "Configure Video" and then "Camera Control". Change zoom, tilt (up/down) and pan (left/right) according to what you need. Note that focus is automatic.
# You can change the recording path (where your data will be saved) to a local folder of your choice. '''Please do not change the recording path to your working group folder''': the uploading is not fast enough for videos.
# You can then press "Start Recording" at the bottom right, whenever you are ready.
# Once done, remember to upload the data to your work group folder, and to delete it from the local folder.

==Adding Audio Recording==
# To record audio, you can use Hollyland.
# Connect the receiver to the experiment control computer via the cable.
# The pairing between the receiver and the mic is automatic.
# If you have selected a pre-made scene with audio, the communication with OBS Studio is automatic. If you have created the configuration yourself, you will need to add the Hollyland as audio in source.
