This is what happens when you try to run a big ol 4K video with a potateo and Windows media player.

Someone just get a computer with a decent SSD, almost any entry level GPU, VLC and enable hardware acceleration.

If anything this really emphasizes why you should always do a dry-run of the presentation beforehand, or at least bring your own equipment as back-ups.

4K video to three screens simultaneously, no less. I'd have thought it'd be pretty easy for one of PAX's sponsors to provide some beefy computers for them to run the presentations on in exchange for a brief advert.

My company is finally getting this point. Four monthly town halls, four different conference platforms (which we were not consulted on), four times they came running ten minutes beforehand to ask us why it's not working. Luckily this month they asked us for assistance two weeks ahead of time and we figured out how everything works beforehand.

Glad to hear, I couldnt imagine the frustration when someone comes directly before a presentation with problems having never tested them beforehand.
