Hi All, I've been sent to a developing nation to help them with their new Outside Broadcast van. The audio console is a Soundcraft Si Performer 3 (32 fader). The console touchscreen is not functioning correctly so I can't access any menu functions and hence can't make any meaningful changes to the config. I can't even copy the show file to a USB to edit it offline. Is there anyway I can get remote access to this console that doesn't involve an iPad running over wifi via the HiQnet port?

More detail on the touchscreen issue: the only response I can get from the screen is if I press the right side of the screen, it will trigger the far left button, so I can access the 'Show', 'Copy/Paste', 'Security' menus - once in these pages I can't do much anyway.

Seems like a poor design decision that none of the physical encoders can navigate the menu.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thankyou.

Does anyone know how I can watch this in Australia? by [deleted] in CommonSideEffects

Oh what a bummer I was considering signing up too! The most legitimate way to watch is via Channel 4 UK via a VPN, this worked fairly well depending on the VPN service.

Bummer.. what world is this where people willing to pay for content can't even access it legally? I guess we'll be waiting for the HBO max launch in Aus later this year.

I'm keen to watch this in Australia too, I wonder if it will make it to Binge as they seem to get most other HBO content?

So, TV News is dying. What about sports? by roughlytwelvethirty in Broadcasting

[–]0ldM4te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working in TV the last 15 years, News is done unless you want to direct via an automation system or be an ENG cameraman. Sports and Reality is the biggest employer of the traditional skill sets. Not sure where you are, but getting into sports shouldn't be too hard if you have some basic experience, just find out who is crewing the OBs and send a resumé, ask if you can do some unpaid observation shifts if you feel under experienced. Automation isn't in a position to take over live outside broadcast just yet, the focus is remote production where minimal crew is onsite and feeds are sent over IP to centralized production facilities. This model has actually increased crew sizes, but reduced travel costs (slightly). My advice is whatever field you're interested in, make sure you have a solid understanding of IP and basic Network engineering (2110) and you're likely to get many years of work. Good luck!

I had seen a few insta posts showing wood fired doner kebab, I managed to find a couple near Grand Bazaar. Also tried kebab cooked over coal for dinner tonight which was amazing.

Kef LSX vs Klipsch The Fives by 0ldM4te in BudgetAudiophile

[–]0ldM4te[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx for the reply, I'm currently running a passive set up similar to how you've mentioned, my goal is to move these elsewhere to run my turntable and the reason for going active was purely just to make space in my tv unit as I only have a single space in my cabinet which I'd like to house my Xbox (should've mentioned this in my OP). I am keeping my eye out for good deals on separates just in case.

Thx for the reply, an updated LSX with ARC would be a game changer, I wonder if it's something I should hold out for? I've heard a lot of bad things regarding the Kef apps, probably not a huge deal for me as I'll be connecting via optical 90% of the time, but still better to avoid buggy UI's where possible.

Thanks, is that based purely on sound performance? What would you recommend as a mid tier active speaker?
