This is a page to add advice about specific guides for data recording, equipment and collection.
Introduction
This page is being structured based on a document circulated by Ruth Parry: Conversation analysis and Clinical Encounters Conference York 2013 Report from a Knowledge sharing workshop: Tools, techniques, tips, processes, software, hardware.
What's on your packing list?
- Camera(s)
- SD flash memory cards (SDHD = high capacity SD)
- Camera clamp/pole/tripod etc.
- Wide angle lens
- Mic(s)
- Mic stand
- Digital voice recorder for back up

Camera(s)
Things to consider when selecting cameras:
- Bring one or more cameras?
- External power supply? (ideally don't run them on batteries)
- Fish eye / wide angle lens recommended
- Headphone jack for monitoring audio recording?
- External mic jack?
- Remote on/off control can be useful
- Lens cap you can put on to record sound only
Storage media
- Don't go for direct to DVD (they are trouble!)
- Go for high definition + records onto SD card
- They tend to record to their own proprietary formats
- JVC records to an MPEG4 which houses an MPEG2, Canon records to MTS files
- They all need converting (encoding) into a format you can play, edit, and that works with your analysis software
- CLAN, ELAN (?transana) work well with MPEG2
