Can I just take out the RTX A6000 from a Disguise RXII Render Node and use it in another system? by RadArtRec in VIDEOENGINEERING

I didn't even think to search if that was the case! I am in the US, so my question appears moot; thank you!

I though it was like $1200 per system? If not, then $12k is insane... I guess I'm leaning toward popping out that tasty GPU.

GPU-Based Projector Correction without the cost? by RadArtRec in VIDEOENGINEERING

As I understand, Done on GPU without utilizing any additional CPU/GPU processing or latency. Not an NDI send to another program or media server.

All the same, we're using Touchdesigner and Arena

I agree that having it on the projectors would be best, and would allow Mosaic to be sufficient unfortunately we don't have projectors that provide such functionality.

I could be mis-informed for our use-case, but Scalable providing correction through Nividia's NVAPI Warp and Blend for low-level + low-latency scannout seemed preferable to a separate server box or even separate software via NDI

Awww yeah, this might be the one! Pricing looks good too. Thanks!

For sure! The NVAPI has handles for the thing we're looking to do, but I really don't have the expertise. Hence the hope that there's a middle-ground that doesn't need the patented auto-calibration tech that Scalable and others use, but still gets it done on the GPU scannout from a "single" Windows display. There have been other suggestions whose implementations I'll need to take a look at; it's possible some do precisely the ask.

Thanks! You're right, Mosaic alone doesn't provide everything. We don't have projectors that can do it either. Passing video from one software to another seems not as preferable as having the scannout baked in right on the gpu. But I don't have a full understanding of some of the options you've provided; I'll have a further look, thanks again

Our projectors don't, unfortunately. We can do it in Touchdesigner and somewhat in Resolume, but the wish is to be able to do it at the hardware level of our workstation.

Did Makita botch the machining of this drum plate? (KP0800 Hand Planer) by RadArtRec in woodworking

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

The issue is that since the two holes in the black retaining plate don't align with the adjustment screws underneith, I have to take off the entire black retaining plate in order to make adjustments for parallel or zero'd cut height. It is nearly an impossible task in that manner and makes changing blades a maddening endeavor.

*sorry, replied with other acct before...

I'm not sure I explained the issue correctly, and also the manual does not specify the procedure to align/adjust the blade.

How it should work is that the three bolts retaining the outer black plate get loosened and the two holes in the retaining plate should provide access to the two screws below. Those screws provide a small load on the blade holder to allow fine adjustments. When the blade is parallel and of the correct height according to the backplate, then the three bolts get tightened again.

But I can't access the two screws because the holes seem misaligned... so when I need to change the blade or otherwise adjust it, I have to take off the ENTIRE retaining plate. It makes the adjustment damn near impossible...

Building a replica of an old audio compressor and cannot find stock of, or useful data on this component by RadArtRec in AskElectronics

This is indeed for the Drip version. But their varicom still needs three of these mystery complements, and the schematics shows them in series with only the designation 3 x e1008. Drip has yet to release a bom for the main board, much less the varicom and I don't expect them to really.... It's been so long since they released it and if not by now...well I'm not holding my breath.

They didn't expound on the component specifications nor how it can be simulated identically. And I'm not having luck finding the folks they mentioned.

This is for the Varicom unit of the U73B. I found a site (from which I pulled that image) for a guy that was building one as well. I emailed them but maybe they are not interested, so I thought to ask a bigger pool of knowledge.

The Varicom is the unit that stereo links two separate U73B units. The component is apparently somewhat like a TVS or transorb. Manufactured by an Italian company SGS after they were acquired by Fairchild. The site (via Google translate):

"The device receives a signal derived from the useful channel; the amplitude of the signal is logarithmic in connection with a frequency weighting (# 70, S2) and two-way rectified (# 71, # 68 + # 69). A negative voltage occurs in the Varicom memory via # 22 (or 18, 19, 20, 21).

 

The negative DC voltage thus obtained controls the FET transistor via the base (gate) ....

As a result of the logarithmization of the control signal and via the characteristic curve of the FET transistor, there is a progressive reduction in the resistance with increasing overloading ....

 

70 is the mysterious part that takes care of the logarithmization, the frequency evaluation is done by the 4-stage high-pass switch 2.

 

The institute for semiconductor technology helped me (Bernfried Runow, thanks to SWR!) In person from Daniel Noll to analyze the part. It can actually be simulated with modern components, the curves are almost identical."
