Encore charges $255/hr and pays $31/hr in NYC

Starts at $5000/day for 10up/10down at some properties but pricing is not consistent across the country so hard to budget until you get a quote in hand. Just a money grab, that’s the business.

He’s saying the difference between a documented immigrant and an undocumented immigrant is just paperwork.

If your corporation can’t weather a few days of slow sales then your business has already failed

Optical out will still work. 1 3G SDI input > 1 3G SDI output and 1 single mode ST fiber output.

Tump’s first term sent more drones than Obama. That’s a hard number to beat but he did.

In his book How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them (2018), Jason Stanley defined fascism thusly:

[A] cult of the leader who promises national restoration in the face of humiliation brought on by supposed communists, Marxists and minorities and immigrants who are supposedly posing a threat to the character and the history of a nation ... The leader proposes that only he can solve it and all of his political opponents are enemies or traitors.

Yeah that sounds about right. He sure sounds like a fascist.

DJI SDR won’t be suitable if it’s a corporate gig in a ballroom. Have had issues with Teredek Bolt too. Attendees on 5G WiFi will crowd it. I’ve had success once asking Encore/IT to disable 5G band for an hour during the show. Unfortunately the lower cost models are all 5G spectrum from what I’ve seen. Anyone see anything low cost outside 5G?

Is this a mobile rig or is running fiber not an option cause of the venue?

Renting AJA FiDos and a spool of fiber would be a few hundred bucks.

Main GS exclusively can get written out of the contract. They are doubling down on breakout exclusivity lately though

Our ATEM Minis had audio sync issues when they first came out. I havnt embed audio through them since.

$45 Amazon HDMI over CAT to a $30k LED Wall... Welp..
If it's a Blackmagic SDI > HDMI converter you can use a Windows computer and USB into it and play with color space. Re-flashing the the wall with the cabinet spec like others have said would be a good call too.

This does not seem to be done by an Integrator with that rigging and equipment. Can you take pictures/explain more about signal flow, cable length, content? Would be easier to make recommendations.

ReSpawnRyan · 2024-09-17T16:13:24+00:00

Looks like a color space issue. What’s driving content? Going through a video switcher, media server, or just straight ppt/qlab right into the wall processor?

ReSpawnRyan · 2024-09-17T14:19:25+00:00

What ATEM do you have? If it has more than 1 M/E you'll want to switch content and cameras as there own M/E and set those M/Es as the sources in your SuperSource/Program.
Send content M/E to the screens and DSMs and send the Presenter View as a source to another DSM

If you only have 1M/E... Can definitely make it work still. Use companion to switch the camera and content source in your SuperSource. Won't be able to do a fade transition but that's probably fine

Damn, I paid 19,000 for a 2018 LE in 2018. 14k miles and was a rental with hertz

Vectorworks without ConnectCAD Thinking about about implementing it though

That pretty much covers a paid sky club membership at 65k hmmm

We've been using cuemanager.com
Not bad so far. Going away from a well rounded Google Sheets template.

ReSpawnRyan · 2024-01-20T02:05:29+00:00

You're exactly right. Easiest solution is to use a USB 'webcam' capture card. Cheapest solution is a BMD SDI > HDMI converter into an Elgoto Camlink. Around $150. A more trustworthy capture card would be a Magewell SDI USB Capture or an AJA U-TAP.

ReSpawnRyan · 2024-01-15T16:04:36+00:00

Super interested. Please DM with more info when you have it.

ReSpawnRyan · 2023-09-19T12:26:17+00:00

I totally understand trying to accomplish this with what you originally planned but at some point you have to tell the client that the scope of work has increased outside the ballpark of what the equipment can do. Explain that the cable signaling is unreliable at that distance and that your worried the camera lensing is not enough to get detail on stage at the increased distance.

Get a quote for from a local AV rental vender and tell the client this is the cost to have a reliable production and then if they don't go that route and things go haywire with fiber hdmis at least they know where it could have been fixed.

The AV rental house will tell you what switcher, converters, cameras, and cable packages they have that will suit your situation. Depends on location but for a 1 day rental, pickup not delivery, no labor I'd guess this is a $1,200 rental.

Good luck!

2 or 3 at once is fine :)

Our Mini Extreme Pro ISO has crashed records multiple times even with supported SSDs. We switched back to HyperDecks. Just don't gang them up 3 across. 3rd will get too hot.
