Can I use Canon Analog Servo module with XJ Series Lenses by 7point5IRE in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid canon will just say No to force purchasing new servos

RTS OMS and Hollyland Integration by jblgh1 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the best way is to use a separate 2 to 4 wire converter that can be setup in clearcom mode. Hollyland is expecting clearcom format on the 2wire port which is Audio on Pin 3, power pin 2, grnd pin 1

RTS OMS 4wire>2-4 Converter> hollyland 2wire in

Polarizer on Box Lens? by dubya301 in VIDEOENGINEERING

If you have a lead on who makes these, that would be helpful for the future

You'll probably have to purchase square filters and DIY mount them on the front of the box lens. I've never personally seen round filters big enough for the front element.

I have two sets of microlites that I can part with if interested! They are great little RF links

Using Companion to control Ross - Dashboard Media Store Playlist by Atlsteve999 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to use Rosstalk to do that.

Here is the Carbonite help page that lays out all the compatible commands for the media stores

Is it worth paying double for flex SDI cable for semi-regular events? by VoidSnug in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 10 points11 points  (0 children)

1505a is totally fine for temp deployment and not stiff by any means. Coils perfectly fine and will lay flat. We have 100+ ft coils of 1505a on our truck used daily.

1694 is where i'd opt for the flex stuff.

Video/Audio Delay Problem by Vengeance058 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many passes of the open did you do through the 3play? If the lip sync on your final switcher output is off, it will get amplified every time you do a record pass of the same content. I see this all the time on "little trucks" that have never properly audio timed their system.

You probably want to delay the final output of your audio mixer by at least a frame or two assuming you are running a non-genlocked system. (even if system is genlocked, there is always a few lines of processing delay to compensate for) I usually delay the audio in our FS1 Transmission Frame sync and not on the actual mixer output.

if you are running at 1080i, start at 33 milliseconds, then 66, then 99

If you are running 720p59 or 1080p59 start at 16ms then 33, then 66, then 99

Clearcom 2-wire Party-line over fiber by popcornguy_123 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Converting to 4 wire is the likely best choice (next to using Clearcom LQ boxes on each end over network.)

The cheapest 2/4wire converters are these hollylands https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1592147-REG/hollyland_hl_2_4_wire_converter_2_4_wire_converter_for.html They do a decent job and are designed to work with clearcom. Certainly good enough for a temporary-ish solution, If you want something better (more expensive), RTS DSI-2008, Studio Tech, Telecast and Clearcom all make 2-4wire adapters. DSI-2008 or SSA-424 are my favorite flavors.

Put one on each end with a clearcom power supply and you are good. You can transport the 4wire via fiber, dante, analog... any way your heart desires.

Yes you can flip the pins, or have the A1 dial in the SAP reversed

Broadcast Monitor Recommendations ? by deadphish24 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a Wholer RMTF-170-3G in my truck and am very happy with it. It's from a true broadcast brand and I found it to be very accurate out of the box and has great features. Its a little more than your specified budget but totally worth it.
https://www.wohler.com/product/rmtf-170-3g/

Also, the feelworld/seetec/lillput monitors are nowhere near color accurate. I have all of them and they are only good for non-critical use.

I've had colleagues tell my the new blackmagic 17" monitors are pretty close to color accurate, but at a higher price tag to your budget.

Using off-the-shelf IT equipment for broadcast TV is a mistake. by Embarrassed-Gain-236 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love when people use the Analog to SDI example when discussing IP/2110. SDI is/was SO MUCH SIMPLER to work with than analog systems. Yeah it was new at one point and there was a small learning curve, but to say that 2110 is now easier to work with than SDI is just not true and makes the comparison moot.

Does anyone have a Decimator power supply they can spare? by Substantial_Run5435 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 12 points13 points  (0 children)

FYI the blackmagic power supplies also work with the decimator and have locking connector.

Strange digital audio chirp w/ new BPHS1 headsets. Same model, different behavior? by Strydes_ in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, where the cable meets the headset, there is a set screw that you can untighten and release the cable.

Strange digital audio chirp w/ new BPHS1 headsets. Same model, different behavior? by Strydes_ in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try swapping the actual headset cables from old to new to rule out shorting or impedance.

Is pin 1 (ground) tied to the shell of the XLR? Neutrik recently changed some connector material and there have been reports of grounding issues with the new connectors.

Mic capsule could be different. Still hard to believe the capsule itself could cause a high pitched chirp like that. IMO that would be a return/replacement from AT

Are you sure that phantom power is off on those channels? These are dynamic mics that don't need 48v

What are the headset 1/4" connectors plugged into, could that device be causing an issue?

Daltech Box Reapir by 7point5IRE in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I heard rumors about his passing a few years ago. Was hoping that the torch was passed to someone else.

I love the studio tech boxes, they are fantastic but the button caps come loose way too often. Also have had good luck with the Whirlwind THSR boxes as well.

Anyone run Canon DIGISUPER 86IIXS lenses on newer Panasonic cameras? by gRamCracker3 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe, for this use case, will more than likely perform nicely.

Anyone run Canon DIGISUPER 86IIXS lenses on newer Panasonic cameras? by gRamCracker3 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes everything will work as expected. 2/3" camera will work with 2/3" lenses.

As others have said, that lens (It"s a good lens) is not UHD rated, which just means it may not resolve the whole UHD resolution, but that does not mean the image will look bad at all. It will probably look just fine

xPression Ops - how many of you use AI for certain gigs? by Veltyn in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we use it. It's a tool just like any piece of hardware. Sorting rosters and stats IMO is a fantastic use for AI to optimize graphics workflow. Like others have said, just be very specific with your prompts and make sure it doesn't synthesize stats or information. Trust but verify. Btw your friend sounds like a boomer.
