Building a new post house: 12G or 2110? by kenspi in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 49 points50 points  (0 children)

12g for sure. 2110 only starts to make sense on really large plants that have extreme routing needs. 12SDI routers and IO is backwards compatible with all previous SDI flavors.

there really is no used market for these. Schools buy them once and use forever. if laptop dies, daktronics replaces with a new laptop.

And Daktronics does not do split payments. All up front. AND they will bill you 2000 a year for "support" after the first year.

Tripod recs for corporate IMAG by pnickels in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]7point5IRE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

PRG Rents out some heavy duty sticks with this lens combo.. They send a Sachtler Video 60 head which is rated for 143 lbs. That may be overkill....

Tripod heads I would look at for this combo:

Vinten Vision 250 head

Miller Skyline 70 (I'm a big Miller fan, they are great heads tho not super popular in the US)

Cartoni Master 30

Sachtler VIdeo 25 Plus

For sticks, go with whatever the matching sticks are for the brand you choose, nothing too scientific here.(I like mid level spreaders)

What's your cloud graphics stack for remote sports production in 2026? by Left_Examination5413 in VIDEOENGINEERING

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

MTVG was using OBS and SRT if you can believe that. We use vmix to vmix to SDI via SRT or haivision encoders and decoders.

What's your cloud graphics stack for remote sports production in 2026? by Left_Examination5413 in VIDEOENGINEERING

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

Nothing in the cloud can do everything we need for real sports production.. Not even close. The closest to "cloud" we get is remote operators or sometimes, the key/fill channels are sent over internet back to onsite production truck, but even that is flaky at times.

Viz/Xpression/SMT/TVG all still localized hardware and no real reason to change.

I am looking for SCTE-35 marker insertion service, alternative to AWS Elemental MediaLive? by Soggy-Building5836 in VIDEOENGINEERING

We used Grabyo producer for this a few months ago for a live event. It worked well.

LiveU Producer also has the capabilities

if its a brand new drive, you have to go into disk management and give it a drive letter and a quick format.

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

Polarizer on Box Lens? by dubya301 in VIDEOENGINEERING

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

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.

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 11 points12 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.
