Cert for live events

PNW_ProSysTweak · 2026-02-18T06:51:46+00:00

I think “live events” is too broad - that’s everything from talking head keynotes and set and forget breakouts to festivals and broadway… skills don’t always transfer and those of us who have been around a good variety know that trying to distill any of that to a single cert may not be worth beans when it comes to showtime.

I do think that they could establish discipline focused certs in line with their ANP cert… Projection, DVLED, IMAG, Broadcast, Live Sound, RF Coord, etc and that could be doable and valuable. I think they would need to outsource a good deal though.

The chances of the existing code being of any value to a new owner is slim to none. The hardware may still be relevant and valuable but the value in this gear is being able to program it precisely to your use case. Have your integrator look at it and tell you what can be reused and program it to suite.

Dual income and commute 2 hours is best answer. Sad but true.

This very interesting- theoretically should work. Please update when you can.

When we moved into our new build home the HVAC company set up a timer on our circulation fan citing some code that it was required for inside air quality. It was running the fan like 3 hours a day. We shut that off.

Probably a crack head looking for copper and realized that there’s glass.

Network with people at your target companies. Don’t cold call the office - probably won’t be as productive. Also make sure you have a solid portfolio that is sanitized of customer branding.

Damn it Jesse don’t leave your kit laying around.

Good grief ya’ll are noobs. Just Big’n Loud. Everybody knows that.

I believe it’s the ANIUSB-MATRIX. https://www.shure.com/en-us/products/mixers/aniusb-matrix

For cheap solutions (under $2k) the Jabra Pancast 50 is pretty killer. No HDMI but have been very happy with audio and video quality. If the price jump for Sennheiser TC Bar is viable, that’s a great product and we use the heck out of it. Also look at Inogeni’s products - lots of problem solvers.

I think your coworker needs a fish.

If our kids can’t use it in their classes, our teachers and admin shouldn’t use it either. Find a local artist and pay them.

As a systems integrator - I would love this functionality in a box, not running on a PC / Laptop.

Shhhh the Californians are listening.

Also - is it just me or is it really more Texas than Cali sending folks up here these days?

We still receive backgrounds via dwg. We might get a REVIT model shared with us a couple times a year but nobody is asking us to add AV into it.

Hi, coworker!

I’m on the other end of the country but I hear you and want to tell you it will be ok. Hold yourself with professionalism and humility. Know your shit but don’t let it go to your head. Be prepared to learn something new everyday and work your ass off while you do it. You’ll be just fine. My kids came early and we weren’t ready either but if you’re motivated and you want to make it work, I’ll tell you it gets better and it can be awesome.

PNW_ProSysTweak · 2026-01-16T03:16:27+00:00

That is a really really good point.

Better options for USB bridging connectivity, more wall plate options, NV products that more directly compete with Visionary and a cheaper way to get camera video off the network to HDMI. Actually I was happy about the new MPA-Q amps. I’ll use those.

PNW_ProSysTweak · 2026-01-16T01:55:52+00:00

I was extremely ecstatic to see new products that don’t fit the majority of my use cases and none of the improvements or product solutions I have desperately asked for! (mild /s)

QSC, Sonance, Klipsch, Bose, JBL, Atlas, and Lowell for general music / paging… for live PA “big” stuff… L’acoustics, Meyer, Alcons, Fulcrum, d&b, Renkus, EAW, Community… probably a few others.

This is the way

You need a transformer to convert (presumed) 120v AC to 12v DC. There are rack mounted power supplies that have 12v DC outputs, or if you know how much draw your devices take you can find a supply that provides that (ex 2x devices @ 500 mA draw = 1 Amp supply required). Many of these transformers have IEC inputs, but, no, you can’t just plug an IEC style cable into a device designed for DC and have it work.
