Video characteristics
The camera is showing a standing Arthur Williamson behind a desk. He is standing in front of two windows so the lighting may have played a factor once or twice, but it is hardly noticeable. The video quality is good as well as the audio. Professor Williamson had a mic on him so everything he said was easily picked up. Some of the audience's questions were difficult to encrypt, but it was good overall.
